In 2003 the Cart Horse Protection Association formed a partnership with the International League for the Protection of Horses, UK and launched project “African Dawn”
“African Dawn” the ILPH International Training Programme for Farriery and Harness Making trains twenty students each year from disadvantaged communities who use horse and cart as means of generating an income thus ensuring the welfare of the working horse and providing economic empowerment opportunities. To date twenty nine students have graduated from “African Dawn”. Eight of these twenty nine have been selected as Assistant Trainers, and are receiving on-going training in order to ensure the sustainability of the Programme in South Africa. This year students have been selected from rural areas in the Western Cape, Soweto and Tembisa, Johannesburg where horses are used to collect wood, plough fields, pull logs and deliver coal. It has always been the vision of the Cart Horse Protection Association (CHPA) to provide the carting community with skills development as a way to ensure the welfare of the working cart horse, contribute to the upliftment of the carting community and the sustainable development of the carting industry on the Cape Flats. This vision is steadily becoming a reality with the entry of training programmes from the International League for the Protection of Horses (ILPH) in England.
