What is a Horse Project?

A horse project is an immersive travel experience where you spend your days caring for and working with horses—while exploring a new destination. It combines hands-on learning, adventure, and meaningful contribution, all in one unforgettable trip.

What Does It Involve?

Days are varied but typically include:

  • Feeding, grooming, and general horse care
  • Riding and developing your skills
  • Assisting with training or schooling horses
  • Supporting rehabilitation where needed

Each project offers a slightly different experience, so it’s best to look at a typical week for each

    Skills and Qualifications

    • Antelope Park Safari Stables (Zimbabwe): No prior experience needed—perfect for all abilities or those wanting to learn in a unique safari setting.
    • Show Jumping Project (South Africa): Previous riding experience is required, as you’ll be working on more technical skills and jumping.

    Why Consider a Horse Project in Africa?

    It’s not just about horses- it’s about the setting and the experience. In Africa, you’re surrounded by incredible landscapes, wildlife, and culture, making every day completely unique. You’ll gain confidence, practical skills, and memories that stay with you long after you leave.
