You too could pass on your equine knowledge, with our volunteer working gap riding holiday opportunity. Take a gap at Mkulu Kei Horse trails and give back to the local community.

A community development program aimed at imparting horse riding skills to under-privileged black local youth in the Eastern Cape township of Morgan Bay on the Wild Coast South Africa. It is a poverty-stricken community and Mkulu Kei Horse Trails wanted to give back to the area and started our youth development project 10 years ago. The aim is not only to teach the less privileged kids how to ride horses, but to help encourage the children to see and work with animals in a more humane way.
