FPSSA Na onal Show 2015 With the increasing popularity of the Friesian Breed in South Africa, the FPSSA Na onal Show provides an ideal opportunity to show case this phenomenal breed. The FPSSA is the only Friesian Studbook that is affiliated to the Mother Stud book in the Netherlands, the KFPS. This associa on has ensured that the Friesian breed has kept up with the interna onal breeding standards that are expected by the KFPS. Although the true characteris cs of the Friesian will always remain the same, it is important to remain in touch with what the market dictates. With this in mind the KFPS constantly research the breed and provide criteria and breeding principles that ensure that we con nue to breed a world class sport horse that is an interes ng prospect to buyers. This year FPSSA Na onal Show, held at Misty Meadows in October, was an example of the quality of horses that are now being bred in South Africa. Orlando van Doorndraai owned and bred by Marlise Botes of Doorndraai Friesian Stud, is an excellent example of this quality. This young Stallion ridden by Jean van Deventer is both the Supreme Champion In Hand and Under Saddle, bea ng many imported horses. In keeping with local is lekker both the Supreme Champion Junior In Hand - Octavia van Doorndraai and Reserve Supreme Champion In Hand - Sam van Aveleda are locally bred by Doorndraai Friesian Stud and Aveleda Friesian Stud respec vely. It is important to not lose sight of how important the importa on of horses from the Netherlands has been by many studs over the years. These horses have provided a much needed boost to the Friesian breed, that over the years had not always been bred correctly. Reinoud fan e Homar, now owned by Adelprag Friesian Stud and ridden by Chere Burger yet again won the tle of Champion KFPS Foalbook Breeding stallion & Reserve Supreme Champion Under Saddle. Wium van Huyssteen with Menno also owned by Adelprag Friesian Stud won Supreme Champion Dressage. Although much smaller this year the harness classes are always exci ng to watch. Auke V. owned by Weltevreden Friesian Stud won the Supreme Champion Single Harness. Doorndraai Friesian Studs Tjalf 443 delighted the crowds in the long lines with his magnificent movement crowing him Champion Studbook Stallion. 2015 has been an exci ng year for the FPSSA and the KFPS Friesians as we see this beau ful breed compete in more and more in both South Africa and Octavia van Doorndraai Supreme Champion interna onally.

During the lunch break in front of a massive crowd Friso fan S Sport, Tjalf 443 Sport, Kalvin fan Stal Bellafleur, Freark fan e Sjongedyk and Weibert Sport took part in a half an hour show where the versa lity of the breed was shown.

The lunch me display was kicked off by Weibert Sport (owned by Esme Venter) and John Smith who did a musical kur followed by Friso fan S. Sport (owned by Marlise Botes/Doorndraai Friesian Stud) and Alida De Jager that had the crowd at the edge of their seat. Young new stallion Kalvin fan Stal Bellafleur that was imported this year by Henson Friesian Stud showed his great temperament with a flawless performance in front of a very big crowd. Tjalf 443 Sport (Owned by M Botes/Doorndraai Friesian Stud) was the absolute crowd favourite when he was shown in the long lines by Jean van Deventer and Dumisani Khabo. The 16 year old stallion s ll performs like a youngster and is a true ambassador for the breed. The lunch me show was brought to an end by Freark fan e Sjongedyk (Owned by M Brits/Benmar) that wore a tradi onal Dutch costume. With his mane almost reaching the ground this stallion is also a well-known favourite. Friso fan S. Sport and Weibert Sport also made all Friesian fans proud when they led the Derby parade that took place before the final event on Sunday akernoon. They followed the Bagpipe band and led out the twenty something compe tors that would fight it out for the tle of Derby Champion. We will definitely be back at the Derby in 2016 and we thank all the supporters and studs that made the day such a big success! A New Studbook Stallion for South Africa WEIRD 409 AKer being the first stud to import a Studbook Stallion in over 50 Years in 2006 when they imported Ritse 322, Doorndraai Friesian Stud will be bringing their third Studbook Stallion to South Africa when Wierd 409 comes out of quaran ne at the end of November. He will be joining Tjalf 443 Sport and will form a very important part of the Doorndraai Breeding plan. Doorndraai currently have one Wierd 409 mare(neenke fan Bokkum Stb Star) standing at the stud and the combina on of Tjalf 443 Sport with Wierd 409 has resulted in the stunning mare Karien van Doorndraai Stb Kroon.
