The experienced full time grooms are extremely attentive, building relationships with both the owners and each of the horses in their care under the watchful eye of the owner, Craig (who lives on the property). Each horse is checked twice a day; in the morning and in the evening. They are turned out into the post and rail paddocks on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s an understanding that each horse is different and they are treated accordingly (food, groom, paddock). The team is very attentive, nothing is ever rushed.<\/p>\n

Where requested\/ necessary, the team manages food supplements and medicine under the guidance of the owner or veterinarian.<\/p>\n

Both Sibu and Joe have long service at Ekuthuleni and live on the property.<\/p>\n
