If you love equines, both horses and ponies, then the Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation project is the perfect volunteer project for you! Assist a dedicated team of horse rescuers with their work in an equine sanctuary in South Africa, from daily care and socialization to treatment and occasional rescues that take place across the country. Although experience is a huge plus, it is not a necessity and you will learn a lot about basic horse care while helping out on this project.

Your role and the work/activities you are given while on the Horse Rescue and Rehabilitation project may vary and depend on certain factors, such as what is required at the time, weather, rescues, and others. You could take on these tasks:
Feeding
Grooming
Cleaning tack and equipment
Walking, socializing, and hacking
Maintenance
General farm work

Volunteers with riding experience and who weigh under 70 kg may ride some of the safe horses on hacks and trails.
