Ritse 322 – Deceased
Oege 267 x Hotse 223
Ritse 322 was a majestic black Friesian stallion born on 21 September 1989, sired by Oege 267 and out of Katterine (by Hotse 223). Standing at around 160 cm, Ritse carried a noble presence and a gentle temperament, qualities that made him a beloved cornerstone of Doorndraai Friesian Stud.
He holds a special place in the farm’s history: Ritse was the first Studbook stallion approved on his offspring to make the journey to South Africa in nearly six decades. A talented competitor himself, he showed in the Z2 dressage classes in the Netherlands, demonstrating both athleticism and elegance.
Outside of his competitive life, Ritse was known for his warm heart and kind nature: many at Doorndraai fondly remember “the big stallion with the soft heart.” Tragically, he passed away on 28 June 2013, but his legacy lives on through his offspring and the lasting impact he made on the stud.
