Description
The Cart Horse Protection Association aims to protect the working cart horses from abuse and contribute to the upliftment of the carting community living on the Cape Flats. We provide clinic, patrol and call out response, veterinary and rehabilitation services to the working cart horses living on the Cape Flats and support, education and training to cart horse owners and drivers who use the working cart horses to collect scrap metal as a means of generating an income for themselves and their families. It is estimated that these working cart horses support over 6000 people living on the Cape Flats.
