Kaapsche Hoop - Those Crazy Horses

There are many romantic stories about the origin of these feral horses. Most untrue. First seen around the Kaapsche Hoop area as far back as 1910 it is believed these horses escaped from their gold mining owners and became wild. These horses live in small groups (natural horse behaviour) that includes one stallion with a harem of around five mares.

Kaapsche Hoop has around 160 permanent residents (the human kind) and about 150 wild horses.

Thought he would munch on my car seat!
