This Mandela Day, you can help build safety, freedom, and healing for rescued horses at the Society for Animals in Distress.
We are launching The Mandela Day Paddock Project — a campaign to build and improve safe paddocks for horses who have survived neglect, abuse, abandonment, injury, and hardship.

Your name or dedication will become part of our symbolic community horseshoe wall — a visual reminder that small acts, multiplied by many people, change lives.

Perfect for:
✔ Schools
✔ Families
✔ Businesses

Paddocks are not “just fences.”

They:
🐴 Keep horses safe
🐴 Prevent injuries and fighting
🐴 Allow proper rehabilitation
🐴 Create calmer environments
🐴 Give rescued horses dignity and freedom

For many horses in our care, these paddocks represent the first safe home they have ever known.

This Mandela Day:
💛 Sponsor a pole
💛 Sponsor a section
💛 Sponsor a paddock
💛 Share the campaign

Together, we build healing.

🐾 Volunteers make a difference in ways big and small.

Whether it’s in our bookstore, at the hospital, or out in markets and malls, their presence brings comfort and connection where it’s needed most.

Recently, one of our patients in theatre instinctively leaned into a volunteer for reassurance. In that moment, it was clear — volunteers don’t just lend a hand, they offer safety, kindness, and love. 💙

Contact Sally on [email protected] to become part of the volunteer team

✨ You can be that source of comfort too. Join us and see how your time can change lives — both human and animal.

At SAID, our mission goes beyond treatment — it’s about community outreach, education, and making accessible veterinary care a reality. Working alongside passionate future veterinary professionals while supporting animals in need is deeply rewarding — but we can’t do it alone.

Every donation helps us provide lifesaving care, empower the next generation of vets, and bring hope to animals who deserve a second chance.

Join us in making a difference today. Your support changes lives — both human and animal.
