Apache Appaloosa Ranche and Rescue Centre

Volunteer Programme at the Ranch

Apache Appaloosa Ranch is situated in central Namibia in the Acacia Forrest. Landscape is mainly Camel Thorn and other Acacia trees, Kalahari Red Dunes and open plains. The best way to experience its beauty is on horseback.

This volunteer work offers a wonderful opportunity to work with our Appaloosa Horses and explore the nature of this unique land.

Your duties as a volunteer will involve all aspects of horse care from feeding to grooming, health checks, exercising and training.

The work will include working with some of the young untrained horses to help back them and follow on training to get them ready for trail riding.

You will also be involved in the herding of cattle on horseback, patrolling fences and water points and facilitating the counting of game when required.

You may also be involved in going on rescues to collect the animals and help with their subsequent care and rehabilitation.
