Please notify the Secretary if you will
attend the AGM
All motions have been put into place to ensure that we as
Percheron Horse Breeders
form an integral part of the new Constitution. This document
will be tabled at the
upcoming AGM for acceptance by members present, to be confirmed
as the new
Constitution of the Perheron Horse Breeder's Society of South
Africa.
Die proses vir die daarstel van 'n opgedateerde Grondwet is
hoofssaklik deur 4 lede
gedryf. Die lede wat die mosie en verandering in werking gebring
het was
G van Zyl, (Almarada stoet)
Peter & Christine Watt ( Outeniqua Moon)
Bennie Marais( Kuta)
Marcelle de Wet roos (Purple Skye).
Een lid se dienste is opgeskort en 3 het intussen uit die
Genootskap bedank.
Mev Watt het die totstandkoming van n Namibiese Percheron
Genootskapis van
stapel gestuur.
Lede moet kennis neem dat die nuutgestigde Namibiese Genootskap
nie geaf-
filieer is met die Percheron Perdetelers Genootskap van
Suid-Afrika nie.
Daar bestaan geen verbintenis tussen die twee genootskappe
nie.
Indien lede diere wil oordra na die Namibiese Genootskap moet
die diere uitgevoer
word waarna die perd sy Suid-Afrikaanse registrasie verloor.
Lede wat uit die
Genootskap bedank se diere word gekanselleer
The future of the Percheron Breed in SA has never looked better,
with the best
bloodlines available to improve our genetic stock. The direction
of the Percheron
horse in SA lies in the hands of the breeders. Our aim should be
to breed top quality
horses that will impact positively on the horse market in the
country. Top breeding
animals still fetch top prices.

Working with and breeding horses runs in our family. As a young
boy, I ploughed with Percherons, fondly called “Kanonpoot perde”,
on a farm in Venda land near Levubu in the far Northern Transvaal.
When I decided to get involved in breeding, my brother-in-law, Paul
Lubbinge, got me interested in concentrating in Percherons and
Miniature horses like him-self and my Dad, who breeds Arabians.
Needless to say I got totally hooked. On the farm we have 3 studs,
26 Arabian horses, 10 Miniature horses, 4 of which have been
imported from America and 6 Percherons, 2 of which I imported from
France, 3 have just been imported from America and lastly, Chrystal
was locally bred. As far as my “older” Percheron horses are
concerned, Crystal is still my favourite. She is locally bred and
was awarded the Supreme Champion of Percherons at the Horses of the
Year show in 2011. Vanina was the under 3 year mare champion and
Victoire came third in the mares class, Chrystal taking first place
in this class as well.
I have al-ways been fascinated by big black horses, now I know
why as I have found the horses that fit my dream in America.
I am no Percheron
horse expert but was very aware that in order to en-
hance our gene pool, I
would have to look at importing. After writing to the Percheron
society in America and explaining that there are only a few
breeders in SA who are importing new blood to boost our local
Percheron genes, they fortunately put me in touch with Gerald
Allebach of Windermere stud in America, he was very helpful
in getting me top class horses in America.
By Hannes van der Walt,
Sterkfontein Percherons
I have just imported a colt Windermere Wicker who turned 1 year
old on 2 May, Lykens Valley Cayla, a mare born on 16 February 2012
and Silvae Krissy born on 20 March 2012. Wicker has been registered
as Grey whereas Cayla and Krissy are registered as Black. These are
the first black imported Percheron mares into the country. I am
sure these horses will make their mark within in the Percheron
community with their exceptional genes and my dream and wish is to
WOW the South African Horse Society so that these gentle giants get
their rightful place and are respected for not only their size but
their versatility and gentle na-ture. I found quite a big
difference in the appearance of the “American” Percherons vs. the
“French” Percheron’s The French horses are much more bulky whereas
the horses from America have a more athletic look. This can be seen
from photos of Whicker's Sire, Dam and Sister vs. Victoire and
Vanina. I love them all the same for their gentle temperament.
I have spent a considerable amount of time and money to get my
horses trained so that they can pull carts and they are a pleasure
to ride. One needs to be able to use your horses for what they were
in-tended to do; this brings pleasure to owner and horse. We are
busy upgrading facilities on Lapanzi Farm and we will be able to
accommodate 24 people in 4 game lodges on the 2 farms (1000
hectares) and our new stables on Lapanzi will be able to
accommodate another 20 horses. My intention is to get people from
the city, like myself, to escape to the outdoors with or without
their horses and be able to come and enjoy horse riding, carting or
just enjoy the farm’s game drives and excellent fishing.
Sterkfontein farm is quite popular with the Bass fishing
enthusiasts. Visit our farm at

Windermere's Whicker. His sire is Windermere's North American
Maid (Moose) current Supreme World Champion and he stands 19 hands.
I quote the Windermere’s website. “We started calling North
American Maid "Moose" because he was always such a big colt. Now he
moves with incredible action. Moose marks the start of a new era of
Percheron breeding at Windermere Farms. He is the complete stallion
and he is ready to make a mark on the Percheron breed. His
impressive front end, quality of bone and extreme size come from
both sides of his pedigree. In short, we feel this horse is a
living example of what we have been breeding for during the past 30
years. We feel that Moose will take our breeding program and our
customers' programs to a level that has not been reached in the
Percheron breed. Breed-ers who are looking for a massive, modern
stallion but wish to retain their style, quality of bone, and
tightness of joints should consider Moose for their mares. We feel
Moose is the complete package in a Percheron stallion; one where
you can acquire the size to be competitive in the show ring without
sacrificing style. Moose had an incredible show season in 2010. It
included big wins such as Grand Champion Stallion at KILE, Supreme
Champion over all breeds at the MGLI and most importantly, on
Oc-tober 21st, 2010 he was crowned Supreme World Champion. His Dam
is Wapsi View Fantasy who has won three times at World shows and
produced the
World Champion mare Winder-mere's Diedra. Wapsi View Fantasy is
one of the most suc-cessful halter mares to ever hit the ring,
Wapsi View Fantasy helped put her sire, Windermere King Cong, in
the Premier Sire spot for two years. She is an example of quality
in motion and is a big mare standing 18.1 hh. She has produced some
of the best horses we have ever raised. Fantasy was All-American in
2003. Sadly Wapsi view Fantasy passed away 2 months ago. His sister
Windermere's Deidra, “a four time All-American and Supreme World
Champion 2008 daughter of Wapsi View Fantasy. “
The pictures of the Mares
speak for themselves consid-ering their age. I trust they
will
both be 18 hands plus.

Celia se betrokkenheid by Mnr Jan Mor-

vir Celia n geregistreerde merrie te gee
as teken van waardering vir wat sy vir sy
stoet beteken. Celia het reeds die aan-
soekvorms ontvang om as lid aan te sluit.
Werklik n
pragtige
wyse om
harde werk
te beloon.
Baie geluk
