Description

Founded in 1991, the Highveld Horse Care Unit proudly stands as one of South Africa's foremost equine welfare organizations. Our journey, marked by resilience and compassion, has seen us evolve into a beacon of hope for horses and donkeys across the country.

Advocacy in Equine Welfare

Rehoming with Purpose:

Experience our unique adoption policy, where horses and donkeys find new homes under special conditions, ensuring their continued happiness and well-being.

Guardians of Compassion:

We actively investigate and address cruelty and neglect complaints, serving as advocates for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Empowering Owners:

Engage with us in underprivileged areas, where owner education and equine medical clinics make a lasting impact on communities.

Healing Hands:

In instances where owners face financial constraints, we step in, providing hospitalization and treatment for horses and donkeys in need.

Annual Impact in Numbers

* Approximately 8000 horses and donkeys receive our assistance each year.
* We provide shelter for an average of 600 animals annually.
* Outreach clinics span across various provinces, reaching communities in need.
* Every horse or donkey we assist comes with an educational touch, empowering owners.
* Workshops on proper care, shoeing techniques, and harness repair benefit hundreds of owners.
* Over 3000 rural equines receive deworming annually.
* Gelding, dental, and farrier clinics in underprivileged areas contribute to holistic care.
* Our base cares for 30-35 horses daily, ensuring their well-being.
* An annual journey covering 150,000 to 200,000 kilometers allows us to reach horses and donkeys in remote areas.

Community-Centric Outreach

Our efforts extend beyond conventional boundaries, with a strong focus on working horses and donkeys in townships and rural areas throughout South Africa. Trained inspectors navigate these communities, providing education and support in harnessing, feeding, vaccinations, farrier care, and basic wound management.

Harnessing Goodwill: Tack Collection Initiative

Our commitment echoes in the collection of old and unwanted tack from the horse community. This tack finds new purpose, ensuring humane use on animals in underprivileged communities.

Donkey Programs: Bridging Gaps

South Africa's donkey population plays a vital role in community life. Special programs, funded by the goodwill of the horse community and overseas charities, cater to the unique needs of these resilient animals.
