Grooms / Mafoo
Our grooms (known locally as “mafoo”) work hard to ensure the highest level of welfare for our horses and ponies. Some have spent almost their entire working life at Lo Wu and still choose to stay. We encourage those of our grooms who show the required ability and commitment, to work towards formal instructor or stable manager qualifications.
