It was a pleasure Judy6 - we are going to hold them more regularly, maybe every quarter. It was lovely to see how the horses and donkeys enjoyed all the treats!

Thanks for the open day! It was very nice to meet all the horses:)

We had a really GREAT open day!

Are other people with a satellite connection battling to get onto the website?

Dallah - Easy - just move up here!

Just start driving now, Ann, you should be here on time!

I also wish there was something here in Bloem where I could be more hands-on in helping out!

Wish I could go on the picnic ...a little far for me ...Mossel Bay to JHB, wish someone would do something in our area.!

Meryl - Hope its fine now. Thanx for the advice

Definately, Loretta!

Can we bring carrots or appels for the horses on the 5th?

That would be lovely, thank you Megs!

Isa, that sounds great!

Would love to come but im already commited to a walk for breast cancer at walkhaven! they do alot of fundraisers there and are always very busy! would you be interested in us looking into maybe setting one up for you? I am happy to contact them and ask them how we would go about it?

That sounds great Bev, where can i find out the details?

SO, WHO IS COMING TO THE OPEN DAY AND PICNIC AT HHCU ON 5TH SEPTEMBER?

Thanks Spearway!

Hi Susan13 - sorry you feel like that, but I think you have the wrong end of the stick somehow. You are welcome to contact me if you need more information.

I do not understand why the animals cannot become my propperty ?
I have the land, the food, love animals. I want to help, but I'm not going to allow you to just pitch up unannounced. I don't want to care for your animal, but my own. And I will certainly not allow you to dictate how I should care for my animals.
Pitty ....

Very glad to see you guys are out and about in thr Trichardt area aswell! Great job!

Yvette,

one would apply to our offices, or any of the regional SPCA's.

We look for someone with a matric, drivers license, a good knowledgeable horse background - a person who can deal with people well, and someone dedicated enough to work long hours for little pay. All of our inspectors are trained in-house. They have to study the law, equine management, and equine health. Unfortunately, although we need more staff, we just do not have the finances to pay anyone.

Just cant understand how people can abuse any animal in particular a horse!!Is there no humanity in this world?

bev where do one apply to become an inspector? what are the quilification one need to apply
