Happy Spring Day! 🌸

Watsi has crossed over the rainbow bridge. 🌈

Watsi was a gentle and kind boy. He was known as a giant puppy to most. It was a very unexpected loss and a great one at that. We will always cherish the memories we have of you and wish you a smooth journey to the big paddock in the sky. 🤍

Thank you to Dr. Mike Last & everyone at Northrand Veterinary Clinic for all their assistance, kindness & care for our sweet boy.

Patti Pie is also a sleepy pie!

We are absolutely loving the warmer temperatures with springs' arrival just around the corner. Perfect subtle warmth for some afternoon horse naps! ☀️

Well done to our riders who competed at Champagne Tour! 🍾

We saw some lovely jumping and dressage from our team! As always, when it comes to horses, there are triumphs and learning curves. What matters most is that whatever comes our way, we take it in stride. 💪

You always leave a show with something, and it doesn't just have to be a rosette to be considered valuable! 👏

Best of luck to our riders competing at Champagne Tour tomorrow! 🥳

We're looking forward to seeing everyone put their best foot forward. 👏

Amidst this cold weather, I think we're all a bit stiff, and just like us, our horses can get stiff too! 🥶
Yesterday Ruby had an early morning visit from a fantastic physiotherapist to help loosen things up. 💪

25/07/2024

Joined Carina on one of her special morning walks with Patti Pie! Nothing quite like a good chat and a walk by the spruit with your favorite pony in hand. 👏🐴

22/07/2024

Dust bunnies? More like dust buddies! 😆

The lack of rain has made just about everything dusty, including our little riders' hands! If you didn't leave horse riding with a little extra dirt on your hands, did you do it right?! 🐴

Pearly whites all around the stables this week! 🦷

A big thank you to our incredible dentist, Pieter Mienie, for taking such good care of our horses and for continually making it a calm and pleasant experience for them all. 🐴👏

I think we should all take a page out of Goofys' book this week. He knows just the way to warm up! ☀️

When the temperature is 0⁰C ❄️ but you're fully committed to your riding! 💪

We hope you have a lovely day, filled with relaxation and loved ones. 🤍

28/06/2024

Through Gails' consistent and hard work on the lunge, Bestie is looking better than ever. Now it's time to build that topline! 💪

Horses are animals through and through. They require schooling and consistent schooling at that, it takes a team. Schooling horses is rarely ever as straightforward as it seems. Some days, it can be two steps forward one step back and correctly addressing any new challenges thrown your way. When you have a well established team, anything is possible, and we have just that! 👏🐴

Well done to our riders who competed at Champagne Tour this Sunday. 👏

We are continuously proud of the progress our riders display at each event, we can't wait to see what the rest of the year has in-store for our Rangers! 🤞

Thank you to all of the parents for all of their assistance and preparations. It made the day run smoothly for everyone! A big thank you to our newest Ranger Gail for all of her hard work and guidance. 🐴

Did someone say horse biscuits? 🍪

A sequence of photos following Avalanches many facial expressions as he gets a whiff of snacks, finishing off with his satiated door licks. 🐴

Teamwork makes dreamwork 👏

16/06/2024

11/06/2024

Bestie is coming into action!
Gail has begun working on fundamentals with her, such as ground work and lunging. 🐴

Time and patience are very important when it comes to young horses and set the course for their riding career. With positivity, a good foundation, and attitude towards work, anything is possible! 👏🏻

Our Story

What started out as a small collection of ponies, has grown into a family of equine and human (and feline) members.

Ranger Stables is a community-based Equestrian Centre situated at REEA, the Rand Epileptic Employment Agency in Craighall Park.

The Rangers work with several community and municipal organisations, such as City Parks, JMPD, Joburg Water, Rand Water, HIV/Aids NGOs, schools and local Residents’ Associations.

Established several years ago, with just two horses, today Rangers proudly houses 23 horses and ponies, most of whom are rescues from dire circumstances that we have managed to rehabilitate and teach how to trust again. Some have taken years to recover, and with rescuing the road is often sad and painful for both horse and human, but each time we are able to give them a happy home, unconditional love and show them there is goodness in the world.

They serve the community through daily patrols along the Braamfontein Spruit, monitoring ecological, social and security conditions.

The Rangers’ equestrian activities include instruction, outrides, competitions, pony parties, pony rides, disabled riding and providing assistance at events as such market days and school fairs.

Although it is a small community of riders, we are a family that is dedicated to helping touch peoples lives and show them just how wonderful and beneficial interacting with these animals can be, while bettering the lives of each incredible animal that crosses our path.
