A new foal is born - right at the viewpoint!

Surrounded by curious young bachelor stallions, the mare rests while the foal gains the strength to stand, ready to travel with its herd.

Such is the life of these incredible creatures - getting on with living in the now.

Okahandja to the rescue again on behalf of the Namib's

So timely and so appreciated, Thank you!

Thank you again

The Foundation is again appealing to the public to enjoy the horses as they are, rather than choosing to intercede. While feeding the wild horses may have good intentions, it unfortunately leads to excruciatingly painful deaths.

Concentrates - in this instance cubes - are far to rich for these horses and has lead to the death of several horses including 5 mares - and their foals at foot.

Additionally, a fair amount of sand is ingested because the cubes are on the ground which is additionally detrimental to them.

Please do not interact with the Namib's horses in any way - it is better for their well-being when they are admired from afar. Contact with humans always leads to tragedy as more and more horses are killed on the road, having associated vehicles with food.

If you wish to support these remarkable horses, please consider donating to the Foundation (banking details on the donate page of our website (www.wild-horses-namibia.com). Funds are channelled to projects which support the horses well-being - such as resolving the current water crisis at Garub 2.

Thank you for your consideration

There is a bit of a water crisis at Garub 2 as the pump is not coping/is faulty. A lot of game moved into the area because of the abundant grass - see image of the ostrich hanging around the water point awaiting their turn to drink.

The Foundation has to investigate the borehole again and is appealing to the public to assist with donations - the estimated cost is around N$ 17 000.00

We hope to sink a new borehole in better substrate in the future as the present location is too sandy and at 105 meters (the water level is at 93 meters) is costly to keep repairing.

Thank you for your continued support of our remarkable wild horses - we appreciate the public's interest in ensuring their well-being.
