Chief Empress, or Topsy, as she is known is one of a handful of thoroughbred mares in RSA ever to have received premium status with the SAWHS. It was hence an easy decision, to have her on loan from her owner Mrs Danika Vermaak for breeding purposes.

Flower Power was originally bought by Mr Henk Scholtz as a future riding prospect for him. Unfortunately the mare did not grow to be tall enough for Henk and other reasons resulted in him not selling the horse. Rivendell stud was offered the use of the mare for stud purposes and we were happy to take her into our mare group.

Juniper Moon was imported in utero from Germany in order to get the genetics of her sire into the country. Juniper Moon is by the stallion Jack Sparrow.

Papillon is owned by Mrs Karin Blignaut, and we were fortunate to lease her for a breeding season due to an injury. Papillon was produced by Karin and competed up to Prix St Georg level in dressage, highly successfully.

Amy, as she is called with us, competed at top open showjumping level under rider Lisa Williams for many years. Lisa says that she was the most amazing horse she has ever ridden. Owned by laura Kotze, Amy is on loan to Rivendell Stud and has already produced a filly, Rivendell Absynthe, by Rivendell Sirandipity, who will stay at stud.

The mare Grace, also internationally known as ‘Don’t touch’ competed at top CSI A level under Ben Schroeder and was placed several times at this level.
