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 geaffilieer 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.
Percheron Council.- Percheron Raad
By Hannes van der Walt,
Sterkfontein Percherons
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 himself 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.
Lykens Valley Cayla
I have always 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 enhance 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.
Silvae Krissy
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 nature.
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.
Windermere Wicker
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 intended 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.

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. Breeders 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 October 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 Windermere's Diedra. Wapsi View Windermere’s Norht American
Fantasy is one of the most successful 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 considering their age. I trust they will
both be 18 hands plus.

Summerwind Stud se uitstalling by die Agri Mega Week
Vulkin Chateauguillon by die Agri Mega week
te Bredasdorp het vir 'n opskudding gesorg met die vertoon van die Franse hings, Vulkin Chateauguillon. Gou
was die reuse perd op almal se lippe en is daar met
trots na hom verwys as ' Hy is Agri Meg 2013' en sy
eienaar Johan Henning is herdoop na 'Die man met die
Summerwind stalletjie by die Agri Mega weeek
'Groot Perd' Die uitstalling het weereens bewys dat die

overall winner of the Team Event.
Sir Humprey came 6th in the Individual Working Riding Class.
Great performance by a Percheron, competing against Warmbloods and Thoroughbreds.
Well done Elani and Sir Humphrey.

Celia Nel/ Perch Morg Stoet
Celia se betrokkenheid by Mnr Jan Morgan se Percherons het hom oorreed om
vir Celia n geregistreerde merrie te gee
as teken van waardering vir wat sy vir sy
stoet beteken. Celia het reeds die aansoekvorms ontvang om as lid aan te sluit.
Werklik n
pragtige
wyse om
harde werk
te beloon.
Baie geluk
Celia.
Gemini Percheron Stoet
Gemini Murdoch is verkoop aan African
Horseback Safari’s buite Cullinan. African
Horse back Safari’s is n organisasie waar
daar met leeus aan jou sy geloop kan word.
Gemini Murdoch gaan verseker nie leeukos
word nie. Sy nuwe eienaars beplan om meer
Percherons tussen hulle ander uitrit perde te
vestig.
Die meeste sal Sumari Taljaard onthou as die dame wat die Percheron Registrasies by
SA Stamboek handteer het. Met die verwikkelinge by Sekretariaat het Sumari aansoek
gedoen vir die pos by die Sekretariaat vir onder andere die
Percheron Genootskap. Haar deelname by skoue as aankondiger en
betrokkenheid by die ras nog voor
haar aanstelling het die Raad baie
opgewonde gemaak om haar in ons
span te kry. Sumari,baie welkom by
die Genootskap. Ons weet jy gaan
