WHAT WE DO
The Cape Breeders Club has focused largely on Grooms Education.
We regard as one of our main purposes. We have educated 195 grooms through our programme to date, which includes a broad spectrum of horse and stable management as well as computer courses, which we have run through the Graham Beck School of Excellence. We have also introduced farm courses which have focused on the following topics:
“The Sick Foal, Sales X-rays – why do we do it, Horses and Worms, Skew legs in foals”
Taking care of the horses post racing has become much more of a focus for the club.
We support a number of the horse-care units, including African Horse Sickness Trust with their “blanket vaccinations” and donate to the AHS task team as well as providing other benefits to the breeders such as G1 Goldmine Stallion Match & True Nicks, and certain publications. The funds are also used for the functions that the Cape Breeders Club undertakes, primarily the Stallion Auction, Awards Dinner and from time to time, seminars. The Club relies solely on the magnanimity of the stallion and mare owners and without them the Club would not be able to do what it does.
