Voluntary Work
This is a small project which nurtures and rehabilitates sick and abused horses, so that they can be ridden again. The horse rehabilitation programme has been running for ten years.
It is reliant on the tourism trade and the efforts of its volunteer helpers to maintain the horses and run the centre. The centre works with horses that have been removed from conditions of cruelty and inadequate care.
Volunteer work may include:
- Feeding the horses
- Mixing the feed
- Grooming, lungeing, exercising, and schooling work
- Checking the horses for health or behavioural problems
- Trail-riding along the beach
- Visiting the beautiful Kei Cuttings, and meeting some of the emerging farmers
- Cleaning and filling water troughs
