The horses and ponies of the Tom Ro Haven are set to benefit from the Noordhoek community’s Mandela Day initiative to raise funds for food.

 

Noordhoek, South Africa (12 July 2021) – It’s Mandela Day this Sunday and with this in mind, the Noordhoek Ratepayers Association has challenged the Noordhoek Community to do some good!

The Horses of Noordhoek play a big role in the Noordhoek 2030 vision so with this in mind the association is challenging Noordhoek to donate horse feed to Tom Ro Haven!

The hope is that the Noordhoek Community can collectively donate 67 bales of teff or Lucerne and/ or 67 bags of the following feeds for the horses at Tom Ro Haven:

  • Safe and Light
  • All Time Balancer
  • Lucerne chaff
  • Speedibeet

Established in 2012, Tom Ro Haven is a registered NPO that rescues abused and neglected horses and ponies and rehabilitates them at their premises in Noordhoek, Cape Town. The horses and ponies at the Haven are then used in equine-assisted healing programmes, focusing on children and young adults deemed to be at risk, or who have suffered from physical or emotional trauma. By using horses to heal and awaken empathy, compassion and respect, the Haven aims to not only change the lives of horses, but to positively impact the local community too.
