“The Home of Sport Horse Appaloosas in Africa”

Leopard Rock Virginia

Sire: Maluti Toby’s Many Moons [AHBSSA]. Dam: Wap’s Mamma Mia [USA - ApHC].

This purebred filly out of an imported dam and by a sport horse sire, was produced from the legendary dynasty of Waps Spot 2 and Waps Reflection of JG Appaloosa Sport Horses, Pa, USA. Her pedigree is unmatchable.

Born 06th/11 at 00h45. Dark grulla snowcap filly with some huge spots on shoulders and head, lightning flashes on all legs. Big star. White sclera, particoloured skin, striped hooves. 42cm / 16.5” from centre of knee. Exceptionally correct. Beautiful, small, dished head and ears curved in at top and well-defined cheek bones. Lovely neck with a natural arch to the poll, well defined throatlatch, good shoulder and well developed hindquarter. Long, long, long legs - should make 16hh+ easily. Very uphill and exquisitely proportioned. Lots of “look at me presence’’ and a showy attitude from birth. Judging by her superb movement and athleticism from day one, she has great potential as a top dressage horse and certainly as an eventer and shows great aptitude for jumping. She has a natural cadence and elevation which is becoming more evident with age. Very brave, independent, athletic and active. Enjoys people contact and has the nicest temperament one could ask for. Stands for the farrier, vaccinations, bathing, is very easy to work with and travels well.

After her sport career she will make an outstanding broodmare due to her conformation, movement and the fact that she is homozygous for Appaloosa characteristics. She is an unusual grulla colour with silver highlights throughout her coat. If she is bred to a Warmblood or Thoroughbred she will produce 100% Appaloosa characteristics every time.

Virginia is a true work of art, one of those rare horses which combine all the desirable and coveted aesthetic and athletic features one could seek - she is a true “Wap” for sure - the first real Wap horse to be born in South Africa! Named after Virginia Hood of JG.

She is offered FOR SALE and will make a superb sport and show horse for a competitive rider. Pedigree.

Our pledge to our clients

Our foals are not mass-produced, they are exclusive sport horses for the discerning rider.

Having said that, they are bred to be both higher level competition horses as well as family members. When you purchase a youngster from us, he or she will be well handled and socialised, i.e. they will be acclimatised to being bathed and groomed, and worked with on a daily basis. Our horses are fed top quality concentrates with minimal to no molasses and maize content, and ad lib quality grass all year around. No effort is spared to ensure that our foals will reach their maximum potential and be well adjusted in order to lead happy, long, productive lives.

All our horses are sold with a right of first refusal contract, and we also offer a home to any of our horses who for any reason cannot be kept anymore, or eventually retired, by their new owners. We also offer after sales service in that we are always available for advice and assistance with regard to the welfare of our horses.

The difference between a ‘horse breeder’ and a ‘horse farmer’ is that the former breeds a very limited number of excellent quality horses which can excel in All Breed Competition, giving knowledgeable and informed thought to genetics, matches, suitability and, very importantly, market, whilst the latter annually pumps out foals which they do not look after properly, and which are of questionable quality, resulting in a glut of too many of the same type of low quality for which there is an ever-declining market.

…When only the very best is good enough...
