They were employed by colonial settlers in farms and stables to take care of horses, being pastrolists with experience in horse rearing. Thus, they had permission to live around that area.

Saw @owaah say the same thing and thought it didn't add up. Makes sense with your explanation.

Maybe it was moved to Ngong racecourse where they still race horses to date. Or that existed independently. I can see Ngong racecourse working better for them because it is closer to Karen where a lot of them lived.

Edit: seen this mentioned in @mzeya's pics
