We are a professional, friendly and family owned yard offering riding lessons, holiday camps, leases and livery. We cater for all ages and level of riders.

Our instructors have a passion for their sport and follow a syllabus of riding, focusing on balance, posture, position in the saddle as well as safety while working with horses. We offer lessons in flatwork, jumping, equitation, dressage, cross country, vaulting and showing. Our horses are schooled and safe, their wellbeing is monitored and they received regular treatments. Their tack is fitted every six months and check for condition and safety.

⚠️ SAEF TO MAKE SUBMISSION REGARDING PROPOSED REGULATIONS ON THE IDENTIFICATION OF ANIMALS

We have been inundated with calls regarding the Government published Draft Regulations Relating to Identification of Animals under Animal Improvement Act 62 of 1998.

The Minister of Agriculture invited farmers, livestock owners, breeders, industry stakeholders and members of the public to submit written comments on the proposed Regulations Relating to the Identification of Animals.

The proposed regulations are intended to be made in terms of Section 28 of the Animal Improvement Act, 1998 (Act No. 62 of 1998).

*Key Elements of the Draft Regulations*

Legal Basis: Issued under the Animal Improvement Act of 1998 rather than the Animal Identification Act of 2002, creating debate over whether they apply broadly or to specific registered/stud breeds.

Covered Species: Cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, ostriches, horses, donkeys, rabbits, dogs, and bee colonies.
Identification Methods: A dual system requiring two forms of identification (such as one electronic RFID/microchip plus a visual ear tag, or species-specific brands/tattoos).

Color-Coded Tagging System:
Yellow tags: Animals born in South Africa.
Green tags: Imported animals.
Red tags: Animals in Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD)-sensitive areas.

Age Requirements for Tagging:
Cattle: At birth or before six months.
Sheep and goats: Within three weeks.
Piglets: Within one week.

Database & Reporting: Owners must register themselves, their property, and their animals on the INTERGIS national database. Changes (such as sales, deaths, or lost tags) must be reported within 7 days.

Penalties: Non-compliance or unauthorized removal/misuse of tags can lead to fines or up to 2 years in jail.

This was gazetted on 6 Oct 2026 and has a deadline for comment of 29 Dec 2026.

The SAEF will be making a submission proposing passports and microchips as the only forms of identification of horses and donkeys.
