Garub wild horses ‘in good condition’
News in short
Good news from the Garub area is that all the wild horses there are in good condition. “Even the foals are thriving thanks to the rains which fell in September 2023,” Dr Telane Greyling said.
She added that there is still enough grass to last a while, perhaps even a year, and plenty in places the horses have not even started grazing yet.
“However, our priority now is the need to find and drill a new water source for Garub 2, which feeds the viewpoint waterhole. The water supply is not sufficient for all the wildlife that use this waterhole and the environment ministry is currently bringing in water to replenish the tanks every day.”
In light of this, the Namibia Wild Horses Foundation is appealing to the public to assist in financing the drilling of a new water source. “All this is being done with the approval of the ministry, and has now become a matter of urgency,” Greyling said.
