Folks, our Inspectors go out and do random roadblocks in the areas where the cart horses work. The horses and carts are checked thoroughly; we check if they have a E53 cart license and that they have the correct board on the back. One owner received a compliance notice for his horses' feet and another owner for his cart to be fixed so it is more comfortable for the horse to pull.

Another reason for you to support CHPA, help keep our Inspectors on the road: www.carthorse.org.za/danate

Last week, our team responded to a call about Fatima, who was being used in illegal activities. The young drivers, just 14 and 16, were operating without a license and had no board on the back, for obvious reasons!

When we arrived, we noticed her feet were in poor condition with brushing wounds, and although she appears pregnant, she is still showing visible ribs, spine and hip bones. If she is not pregnant, then her bloated belly is likely from cow meal.

Fatima is now safe at the R&R. Your donation provides feed, vet care, farriery, safe stabling and rehabilitation for the horses who arrive at our door needing urgent care.

Please consider donating today to support the horses who rely on CHPA for safety and a second chance.

Folks, Siya has been nominated as Runner of the year for his Bellville parkrun Running Club. Starting as a Novice last year March, he has come such a long way! He continues to run for the horses he makes comfortable in their work, a true passion of his.

He has also joined the Deft running group, inspiring the youth and others to take up running and changing lives because of it!

Let’s show Siya the love and support he truly deserves!

If CHPA did not exist, hundreds of horses would suffer in silence, just like “Facebook” did. (Yes, that was really his name!)

Now renamed Guinness by Regine, this young horse, only 2½ years old, was found collapsed in a cart, exhausted from the heat and covered in painful fresh harness wounds. 😢 He is new to carting, and we can only imagine the trauma and agony he endured.

Thanks to Regine and our dedicated grooms, Guinness is now safe, receiving the love and care he desperately needs.

But rescues like this are costly folks, it takes thousands of Rands to heal, feed, and stable just one horse like Guinness.
Please help us continue saving lives. 🙏

Together, we can make sure no horse suffers in silence again. 💙

Happy Friday folks😃 Yesterday was an incredible day for us at CHPA. When a horse like Zelda comes into our care after being confiscated due to neglect, we give her the love, care and healing she so deserves after being treated so badly, even though she helps her family put food on the table! But healing a horse like Zelda, can take months, which it did, or even years. Proper feed, hoof care, veterinary care, stabling, fresh water, paddocks to roam in and care from our Grooms. This is where your donations come in, helping us heal horses like Zelda and then find them their forever home, which we did 😃😃🙏

Please support our SPONSOR A STABLE CAMPAIGN, so more horses that come into our care, can experience what darling Zelda has.
