This afternoon a stakeholders’ meeting was held to discuss the status and future of the Rooisand horses. The meeting was hosted by Ward 9 Councillor Grant Cohen, at the Kleinmond Municipality, and was attended by members of Rooisand Horse Watch, CapeNature, landowner Craig Saunders, ward members, municipal and conservation personnel and a representative of the local press.
It was agreed the horses will be sensitively and safely moved off Lamloch over the next few days. We are especially appreciative of the landowner’s expertise in this process, to ensure that the transfer is without incident. We also appreciate all the members of the community who showed their love and compassion and support for these magnificent wild horses.
In an exciting move to further ensure the future of the wild horses, the participants agreed that a management committee will been formed to oversee their wellbeing. The committee will be headed by CapeNature, with all parties committing to look after these national treasures.
We wlll continue to share news and visuals of the Rooisand horses’ future. Please like and follow the Rooisand Horse Watch Facebook page for updates, or join our mailing list by signing up at www.horsewatch.co.zaor email info@horsewatch.co.za.
We encourage the community of the Overstrand and beyond to celebrate with us and to move forward.
