The Highveld Horse Care Unit is one of 4 Units in SA: the others are Eastern Cape Horse Care Unit ( EC HCU), a branch of HHCU, KZN HCU based at the Kloof and Highway SPCA, and WC HCU based at Grassy Park SPCA - the latter two being based at and managed by their respective SPCA’s. HHCU and EC HCU are independent Section 21 Companies, independently operated.

All of the Units obtain their income by various fundraising ventures, appeals, sponsorships and operational charges. All four Units liaise with each other on operational matters, national problems etc.

Today the Highveld Horse Care Unit is a Section 21 Company in its own right, responsible for its own management, funding and operations, and is the largest equine welfare organisation in the Southern hemisphere.

The National Thoroughbred Trust which initially managed and channelled funding to the Units, has evolved into the National Horse Trust, and is now an administrative and fundraising body

The National Horse Trust (NHT) is one of the main funders of HHCU and EC HCU - we benefit from every cent raised.  NHT sponsors two of our staff - Megan Hope of EC HCU, and Ashley Ness, trainee inspector HHCU. NHT also funds approved special projects at other Units.

STABLES AT THE UNIT:
We have the facility to stable 30 horses at the Unit. Very often we have more than this in custody, so horses may have to sleep out, or, in a few rare cases, share a stable!
