South Africa - Cape Town - 20 October 2020 - Every day in Cape Town’s industrial areas, horses that haul carts of scrap-metal and wood, face traffic hazards and even bullets from gang fights. Their existences are tied to the character and fate of their owner or driver. The ‘carties’, as they are known, work in the tradition of their fathers and grandfathers, and depend heavily on the horses for their livelihood and the horses in turn depend on their owners and drivers for their welfare. In this, they are assisted by the Cart Horse Protection Association (CHPA), but the relationship is not without its tensions. Picture Leon Lestrade.
