Zambia Horse Safaris - Our Horses
Kafue horse Safaris prides itself as having some of the best horses in the safari business and we have received many accolades on their quality and schooling.
All the horses are personally selected by Steven Rufus and are chosen with the same criteria as selecting an event horse i.e. pace, confirmation, ride ability and temperament. The various breeds include South African Boerperd, SA Warmblood, Quarter Horse cross and THB crosses. In particular we look for responsive horses that like to work, as well as be able to cope with the harshness of the African bush. They are all fit, in excellent condition and range in height from 14hh to 17.3.
The South African Boerperd (literal translation farm horse) is a wonderful breed, renowned for its hardiness, intelligence and paces. These horses have evolved to cope with extreme temperatures and terrain of Africa and you will be amazed at their sure footedness and bravery as they guide you safety through the bush.
All our horses are schooled in basic dressage movements - when not on safari - in classical English style to produce a soft and responsive mount for clients on safari.
