Trails group on
Please add your Mkulu Kei riding photos.
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 see and work with animals in a more humane way. By educating
and by giving them knowledge of kinder methods, empowering them with
employable skills that would better their lives and to encouraging
a better work ethic. Motivate intolerance to alcohol, a platform to
master the English language and develop leadership skills. Through
education and motivation we believe that already as community developers
our development youth in the project are empowering not only themselves,
but that it is rubbing of on the other children and adults in the
township. We at Mkulu Kei horse trails are very proud of the impact
it has made to the young boys, our leaders at the stable are in turn
making a difference to their community.
By getting the education of a sustainable professional skill
these boys are already encouraging and motivating youth and
community development. Financially sustained by Mkulu Kei horse
trails through our working gap volunteers and donations from
our clients this project keeps the youth off the street. Their
leadership skills come with good work ethics - no work no pay,
no school attendance no horse riding. This Mkulu Kei community
initiative has already made an impact on young lives but it
will be in the future that the real difference will be seen
in full
"A real ride to many places at any paces"

See You in the saddle Soon!
Aimed at local under privileged black children between the ages of
6 years to 16 years from the Morgan Bay township. Our development
project is making a difference to children who would probably never
learn to ride a horse or pony and then they would never learn the
finer equestrian skills to be a horseman.
Please help me to help the talented development
children.
We at Mkulu Kei Horse Trails, the two and the four legged would like
to say a big Thank you to all our visitors for donations to wards
the development project.
You could be here as a volunteer riding a horse on the beach on your
horseback working riding gap vacation and making a difference in the
lives of a rural community with our development project. As a paying
volunteer not only your time and equine skills but also part of your
daily rate is used to sustain our development project.
This is an opportunity to join an exchange working/gap holiday experience
in a family business; the more you put in the more you get back.
Ever thought you would like to canter your horse along a beach,
or play in the waves?
The sound of the horse's hoofs on the sand or splash of the water
will live with you forever. Combine your dream on a working holiday.

This is a project Mkulu Kei Horse Trails is proud of and sponsored
by Mkulu Kei with your help. We use your donations towards the
general running of the project. This includes giving the children
pocket money, T-shirts. On occasion’s food, school shoes
and we have had a number of children parties (with chips, sweets
and cool drinks) something they would never experience.
As we are trying to help September not only with his riding
skills but his social skills too we have taken him out for meals
at the hotel.
Please we require donations of children’s jodhpurs, riding
boots and riding hats. I would like to upgrade the children’s
dress code for pride and safety reasons.
(6 years-16 years) Second hand or new.
Thank You.
