Horse Whisper guided horse trails ans safaris in Hazyview Mpumalanga South Africa

We are located on a 2000 hectare Bushveld property, owned by the Sandford

community trust. Horse Whispers is a company that offers a wide variety of horse

trails and offer underprivileged children the opportunity to work with horses. The

relationship between Sandford community and Horse Whispers is one of the few

successful land reformed cases. The community receives a monthly rental

income while the horses are able to roam across hills and valleys, feel the wind

and the sun, and enjoy interaction with people in a loving environment.

The well-being and future of these horses is dependent on the income from horse

trails and donations. Most of these horses came from foster homes and were field

horses fairly familiar to human interaction, some did not trust humans at all and

others had no understanding of personal space. The training of these horses

consisted of halter work, trusting and respecting humans, desensitization

exercises, groundwork, preparing for a rider, backing and riding away with a safe,

confident horse!

Today, these horses are able to play a significant role in brighting the lives of

underprivileged children. The program teach more than just riding; children develop

life skills such as self-confidence, responsibility and discipline - and can have a

positive impact on academic performance too.

Donations are welcome!

Choose your favourite horse, send your donation, and you'll receive a digital

certificate, recognizing your contribution to the program.

Your contribution will not only ensure that the horses receive plentiful food and

proper veterinary care, but will also better the lives of underprivileged children!
