These are our 2026 Kranshoek Youth Riders

Our Junior Team started their year learning about the importance of safety around horses, introduction to equine management theory and practical. Once they are assessed and pass, it is the official start of having fun on outrides at the most beautiful farm, in Plettenberg Bay, and introduced to riding lessons. During the same time our young horse lovers, also learn about horse behaviour and positive reinforcement training.

The blessing of being part of our kids journeys when they match with their perfect steed, one of our treasured rescued and rehabilitated ponies, which are also preserved on the farm, who also teaches how to respect and how to work on relationships, and work and when that deep connection is formed, is a true blessing to be a part of, for all of us involved.

Thank you to everyone supporting this dream; Cairnbrogie, AHF Chair Person, Marietta Van Rooyen, Plett Equestrian Community, Afresh Brands Pty, (Ltd), Equine-Librium College & Stables for treatments and for coaching our students, Robberg Equestrian Club, Plett Farrier Services, Coach Ali, WC Dressage Development & Transformation Officer Armin Fritz SA, Bomber Bits, all our beautiful Volunteers, Cairnbrogie Stables Staff & Clients, and most of all my Family, Kurt Plociennik , Ronel Naude Tarp Care, our church Plett, and all the saints who are our friends.

Sad News on this rainy day.

It is with great sadness that we lost firstly a Father and Grandfather to his family, an Equestrian Legend and Role Model to aspiring South African Youth, and our Africa Hoofprint Foundation NPC Founding Member and Director, Mr Enos.

Mr Enos we will always remember your beautiful soul and how much you believed in our worthy cause.

We will remember the Horseman that you were. I feel blessed to have personally known, and AHF feel blessed to have walked beside Mr Enos over the past 10 year's.

Thank you for being in the business of changing lives one Horse & one Rider at a time and mostly thank you for training our precious Semakaleng, AHF new Trainer, and for representing South Africa in International Equestrian Sports, before the world was ready for it, and creating opportunity for other's to follow .

Lastly, thank you for believing in me, Africa Hoofprint Foundation's vision supporting aspiring young riders and horses in need.

RIP Mr Enos

Thank you to Ward 7 Counselor, Annelise Olivier, who joined Kranshoek NPO's to keep kids busy constructively throughout the recent school holidays. 🤗

AHF offered an Animal Welfare Education Program and introduced the children who were nervous around animals to horses in a safe and controlled environment. 🐎

Positive animal education is the key to supporting our youth in animal welfare.

A huge THANK YOU to 's Travel & Tours – a proudly locally owned and operated company that truly puts the comfort and safety of our children first. ❤️🚌

A very special thank you to Trevor, the owner, and his outstanding driver, Mr. Smith, for your kindness, professionalism, and willingness to always go the extra mile.

During the July School Holidays, Jansen's Travel & Tours generously sponsored transport for the Africa Hoofprint Foundation NPC's Senior and Junior Riders, ensuring they could travel safely to and from Cairnbrogie for three weeks.

Without this incredible support, many of our Kranshoek youth would not have had the opportunity to spend valuable time with their horses and continue their equestrian journey.

Jansen's Travel & Tours also proudly sponsored transportation for our Kranshoek School Children Holiday Programme, supporting a wonderful new initiative where local NPOs worked together to create positive opportunities for our youth and strengthen our community.

Your generosity, commitment, and community spirit have made a lasting difference in the lives of so many young people.

Thank you for believing in our children and investing in their future. We are incredibly grateful for your partnership and support! 🙏🐴❤️

Horses are deeply rooted in human history. It's time we honour that connection and encourage our youth to respect themselves, their heritage, and animals. 👐

At AHF, we focus on 3 major pillars: Welfare, Education, and Preservation.

The Griqua Heritage Herd is part of South Africa's rich history. They are directly related to the original horses that reached the Cape, led by the Griqua people. That's why they must be protected. Preservation of this herd is a key part of our mission.🐎
