🚨 URGENT APPEAL FOR HELP 🚨

As we continue to navigate the land crisis we find ourselves in, the work does not stop.

Every day, more calls for help come from communities where horses are suffering. We receive reports of abuse, neglect, and owners who simply do not care. We also hear from owners who love their horses but have no access to welfare veterinary care and cannot afford the help their animals desperately need.

Over the past year, we have helped countless horses in these communities. Some have required admission to private veterinary hospitals. While some veterinarians have generously assisted us with discounts, the cost of treatment has been astronomical and has depleted our funds.

How do we turn our backs on an animal that is suffering?

At the same time, we have faced countless crises with our own herd, all while fighting to keep the Haven operating.

Today, we are asking for your help.

We urgently need to settle outstanding veterinary bills and continue covering the daily running costs of the Haven so that we can keep responding to horses in need.

Please do not turn away from this growing crisis.

Horses deserve better. They deserve every chance we can give them. And for those we cannot save, they deserve a peaceful, pain-free passing surrounded by kindness and care—not terror, neglect, and suffering.

Horses matter.

Please donate if you can. No amount is too small. If you cannot donate, please share this post. We need to reach as many individuals and businesses as possible.

❤️ RAPHAEL IS HOME ❤️

Our beautiful boy is safely back at the Haven after undergoing a successful gelding procedure this week.

Seeing the horses run to greet him, especially his beloved Arabella, brought tears to our eyes. ❤️

We are incredibly grateful to Andre and his team for their assistance with transport, and to Dr Bart and the Blue Cross team for the wonderful care they gave Raphael.

We would also like to give a very BIG thank you to Tatum for your ongoing dedication, love and support at the Haven.

While we are celebrating his safe return, the costs were significant:
🐴 Veterinary bill: R9,777
🚚 Transport: R3,000

If Raphael's story has touched your heart and you would like to help, any donation would mean the world to us.

Thank you for helping us give animals like Raphael the love and care they deserve. ❤️

Change happens when people care enough to act.

In Abbotsdale, where no welfare veterinary services are available, families were doing their best for their animals but had nowhere to turn for help. When they asked if we could assist their dogs and cats, we knew we couldn't ignore the need.

Through the power of collaboration, compassion became action.

Together, we sterilised 22 cats and 27 dogs, vaccinated animals, treated health conditions, provided food and deworming, and gave hope to a community that desperately needed support. We also helped two surrendered dogs begin a new chapter—one safe in foster care with her seven newborn puppies, and another receiving the medical care he urgently needs.

This is about more than sterilisations. It is about breaking cycles of suffering, preventing unwanted litters, improving animal welfare, and empowering communities to become part of the solution.

None of this would have been possible without the incredible support of Giving is Living Cape Town, SteriVet, Jeep Tours, TEARS, Pura Soda, our dedicated volunteers, and every community member who stepped forward to do the responsible thing for their animals.

When we work together, lives change.

We will continue to stand up for animals who have no voice and support communities that want a better future for the animals in their care.

Because every animal matters. Every act of kindness matters. And together, we are making a difference.

There is nothing in this world quite like a mother's love for her child. ❤️

We often forget that animals experience deep emotions too. When they act out, become withdrawn, anxious, or protective, it may not be because they are "difficult"—it may be because they are carrying the trauma of losing a baby or having one taken away from them.

While we understand that there are times when intervention is necessary, it's important to remember that these mothers are feeling loss, confusion, and heartbreak in ways we may never fully understand.

Working with rescue animals, we witness this time and time again. Behind every fearful reaction is a story, and behind every story is an animal that needs patience, compassion, and love.

Healing doesn't happen overnight, but with understanding and kindness, even the deepest wounds can begin to mend.

Before we judge their behaviour, let's try to see the world through their eyes. 🐾❤️

Every week, we witness something truly special through our KIDS program. Children arrive carrying different stories, challenges, and experiences, and over time we watch them grow in confidence, find joy, and discover a sense of belonging.

At The Haven, they are given a safe space to laugh, learn, connect, and simply be themselves. The bond that develops between the children and our horses is incredibly powerful. Horses don't judge, they don't care about a child's past, and they offer acceptance, trust, and companionship. Through these interactions, children learn empathy, resilience, responsibility, and the importance of caring for all living beings.

The smiles, breakthroughs, and moments of courage we see each week remind us why this work matters. We are deeply grateful to be part of these journeys and to witness the healing, growth, and hope that flourish here.

Update on Our Future Home

This is the piece of land we have applied for through the City of Cape Town. We are currently waiting for the application process to be finalized.

For now, we are still permitted to remain on the field where we are currently staying. We are waiting to receive notice from the new owners regarding when we will need to relocate.

As you can see, there is currently nothing on the new land, so we still have a long journey ahead of us.

Please continue sharing our BackaBuddy and GoFundMe campaigns to help us raise the funds needed to make this move possible. Every share and donation makes a huge difference
