Loret was the first South African bred mare to become Preferent in South Africa and was sadly lost to us shortly after the inspection to the West Nile virus. Another one of her offspring, Yster van Doorndraai, became star at the 2011 inspections and her last colt Bakkies became star in 2012 which gives her six stars! Let’s have a 1closer look at what it means to achieve the Preferent Predicate.

Mares registered in the Foal Book and the Studbook may become Preferent on offspring. The Preferent predicate can be requested from the The KFPS by either the mare owner or the owner of one of the offspring. For the mare to be considered, four quality offspring has to be produced. The following will qualify for the Preferent Predicate:

1. Ster or Model mares.
2. Ster geldings.
3. Foal Book Ster stallions.
4. Studbook stallions.
5. Stallions that made the second viewing of the stallion inspection.

This mare is the only offspring out of Wancy van Geyerspan at Doorndraai. She passes her good movement and correct conformation on to her offspring.

One of her fillies, Alma van Doorndraai, achieved first premie star status at the 2012 inspection and she gave us another first premie foal in 2013, Maggie van Doorndraai.

The loss of Katinka was a great one for Doorndraai.

Rita passed away in early 2016 from colic and it was a great loss for the stud.

Rita became only the second ever South African bred preferent mare in February 2015 when two of her offspring became star at the 2015 Inspections.  Gordon van Doorndraai Rb (S: Glenn ‘Sport’) became Star as well as Juliette van Doorndraai Bb1 Stb Star which was a fantastic result for the stud.  Gordon also achieved 77 for his ridden IBOP test which means Rita now has 5 Star offspring (Destinie van Doorndraai, Mieke van Doorndraai, Anneke van Doorndraai, Gordon van Doorndraai and Juliette van Doorndraai)
