Volunteer caring for highly trained trail horses, in return for plenty of riding and some wildlife viewing!

Discover a different world and way of life, and really get to one with nature.

Stay on a 2000 hectare reserve, home to giraffe, zebra, warthog, wildebeest, several species of antelope, and Tswale the tame elephant.

The farm offers endless beauty, with a mixture of open plains, hills, rocky koppies, rivers and mountains.

The herd of fourteen horses live out on the farm and need continued attention and care.

Volunteers become part of the family, and establish deep bonds with each of the horses.

Volunteers make incredible memories; from cantering across the plains, climbing hills to get the best views, falling in love with the horses, to riding alongside giraffe and zebra!

Riders must be over 18 years old, and experienced riders.
