Our students have enjoyed learning some practical skills at Healing Horses this year - how to trim and file the horses hooves, milk a dairy goat, bottle feed the kid goats . . . just some of the interesting and useful tasks that need doing daily on a farm!

It was so lovely to experience these three students from Dambuza Primary on their first visit to Healing Horses, moving from initial fear and resistance into curiosity and brave interaction. Thanks to our volunteers for their loving care and guidance and to the horses for their gentle patience and presence.🐴💕

Welcome to HH Thurston, Silinbokuhle and Amyoli!

Curious horses came to check out these humans and their big drums taking shelter in a calm corner by the forest this morning.

Thembi swiftly covered the basics of drumming before leading us on a rhythmic musical journey which blended beautifully with the breeze, rustling branches and birdsong.

Date for the next drumming circle at the Healing Horses paddock TBA - shout out if you want to go on the mailing list 🪘🎼☀️

(Small groups only - limited drum’s available)
