Volunteer
Thank you for offering to volunteer your time for the good of the working cart horses!! Please fill in the CHPA Volunteer Form and fax (021 535 3434) or email to info@carthorse.org.za.
There are loads of ways in which you would be able to help CHPA - please see below for our current volunteer ‘wishlist’
Clear a field
There is a large field at the back of the Epping premises which needs to be cleared. Our fence will then be extended thanks to the generosity of the Department of Agriculture. CHPA aims to create more paddocks which will enable us to treat more horses and build a training track where new cart horse owners/drivers can be taught the basic rules of the road.
Build a shelter!
We need more shelters built for the paddocks at both the Epping Treatment Site as well as the Recovery & Rehabilitation Centre. The winds in Somerset West can be terrible in winter and the horses need protection against the elements!
Help us maintain the R & R Centre
Large properties need extensive labour and maintenance, if you would be willing to offer your time to assist us in Somerset West please contact Joyce via email.
Place our collection tins
Collection tins brought in an amazing R13 234 in May 2010. If you come across a store without a CHPA tin, please consider asking the owner or manager if they would be prepared to keep one at their checkout. Alternatively, keep a collection tin at your home – Your spare change will make a difference! We sell Christmas cards annually at various outlets, please show your support! If you would like to assist us in the sales of our Christmas cards please contact us.

Hi – I love horses and have 2 of my own. I would love to come volunteer as part of a community service project my school is doing, along with 2 of my friends. Unfortunately, the week we have been allocated to volunteer doesn’t fall in with the volunteer day taking place on the 18th. Is there any other way we can help out?
Thank you,
Laene

Hi, The Mustang Club of South Africa ( “the Ford Mustang” ) is hosting their 48th Anniversary celebration at Southey’s Vines on 15 April.
The funds raised from gate entrance etc will be donated to local charitable organisations. We have selected yourselves as a beneficiary so we would like to make contact. My number is 082 5572599
It is quite appropriate that the iconic Pony car should support the Cart Horse Association
Hi! I am a huge horse fan and have been riding and interacting with horses for over 10 years.
I have always been interested in volunteering with cart horses, and to add to that I am doing a Presidents Awards program at my school and have to for fill a certain amount of hours.
Is there any hands on volunteering needed with the horses or anything done at all?
Please let me know and contact me at any time!
