Doorndraai Friesian Stud

2012 HOY Success

admin@doorndraai — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 12:05:59 +0000

The 2012 Horse of the Year was yet again a huge success for Doorndraai. It was a very exciting show for us as we took Tjalf 443 ‘Sport’ to compete in the single harness for the first time rather than do a lunch time performance in the carriage. Jolanda Schreuder also took part in the ‘Strictly come Showing’ class with Friso fan S. where her experience and Friso’s lovely character ensured a good position. They came second in a big class of 30 horses and it was nice to see other friesians such as Geduld, Reinhoud and Klaus also take part.

Tjalf 443 ‘Sport’ won the FPSSA Champion Single Harness title and went through on the Sunday to compete for the HOY Supreme Championships and we are very proud that he walked away with the title. The other revelation of the show was Wynand van Doorndraai. It was his first show under saddle ridden by Alida Copeland-De Jager. The young stallion has caused a lot of excitement as it was his first show under saddle and also because he came in ahead of a number of imported stallions to become the Senior Champion Stallion. Doorndraai is proud that on more than one occasion our locally bred stallions (Troye van Doorndraai, now owned by Benmar Black and also Bart van Doorndraai) have outperformed imported horses with more experience including our own Friso fan S. Looking forward to the FPSSA National Show taking place in April we can expect another few good and exciting results.

Fillies, Fillies and MORE Fillies.

Our last foal arived earlier this month and it has been a dream season for us. With twelve fillies and only seven colts we were popping champagne rather often. We were hoping for a filly from our Voorlopige Kroon mare Pandora van Doorndraai but unfortunately it was a little colt. With most of our studbook mares giving us fillies we couldn’t really complain. We allready have allmost twenty foals for next season and hope it will be dominated by fillies again. Watch this space to see how our foals do at the April 2012 inspections.

We were truly saving the best for last and hoped Pandora, our Voorlopige Kroon mare would give us a filly after giving us Hector van Doorndraai in 2010. Our run of fillies ran out and our last foal for the season was a colt. We’re holding thumbs this stunning mare will give us a filly next season.
