Dear Members
The beginning of 2015 has been a busy year, I am sure you will agree. The FPSSA office
has been busy at work keeping up to date with the day to day running of the society.
As a society we are very proud of our posi'on in a world prospec've. Feed back from
the KFPS is posi've about our breeding and horses, as South Africa con'nues to improve. We are fortunate to be in a posi'on where our horse are ranked with the best in
the world.

As a society we con'nue to grow. Our membership is steady as we head into 2015 and
our financial posi'on remains stable. As a Board we are happy that our society sits in a good
posi'on with a broad base of members.
As a society, it is important to remain up to date with the KFPS rules, regula'ons and improvements of the Friesian Breed. We encourage our members to embrace the improvements con'nually being made by the KFPS. Much 'me recourses and money goes into the
con'nual research of the Friesian breed to keep it viable in todays market.
Over the past months cri'cism has been levelled at the FPSSA with regards to changes of
rules, new rules and regula'ons. Please remember that these rules, regula'ons and development are not ins'tuted by the FPSSA. We are given all our direc'ves from the KFPS as an
affiliated associa'on of the KFPS. We ask for your co-opera'on and understanding. We believe ul'mately that these rules, regula'ons and developments will only ensure that the Friesian breed will con'nue to thrive in South Africa.
With this in mind it is our inten'on to con'nue to promote the importance of being a member of the FPSSA. The FPSSA is the only studbook in South Africa recognised by the KFPS for
the registra'on of purebred Friesian Horses. The importance of this is significant when it
come to breeding and selling of Friesian horses. Buyers are becoming more educated and
the value of the KFPS paper is playing a significant role in the sale of Friesian horses. It is an
insurance to a well bred horse.

contain all relevant informa'on to the society and we would encourage our members to please take the 'me to read the informa'on.

FPSSA Survey 2015
At the Special General Meeng in Feb, we unfortunately did not have a corium to
vote in a new board member. It gave our members and the board an opportunity to
speak in an informal environment. During these discussions the following points
arose.
• The FPSSA Board needs a few more members to help run the organisaon, and
the urgency thereof
• The need for more social interacon.
It was decided by the board to get a general overview of the FPSSA members to help
us make the decision and to gauge how our members felt.
The survey was sent to all our members via Mail Chimp. This email system allows us
to see that the mail has been delivered and who has read it.
• It was received by all our members—no mails were returned to the office
• Of which 50 % of our members read the mail
• And only 18% of our members replied
Form the replies the general consensus is as follows:
• There is no need for a Special General Meeng to vote in new board members.
This can wait unl our AGM in Oct.
• A fully catered funcon in the Gauteng/Pretoria area to coincide with the Naonal show would be best suited.
• No members are willing to host or organise the event.
Taking the above into consideraon :
• Vong of new board members will be done in Oct at the AGM. Please look our
for all relevant informaon.
• Please consider if you would be prepared to stand as a member of the board.
• A fully catered funcon will be organised during the Naonal Show in Oct.
We could like to thank the members who took part in the survey and would please
encourage all our members to please parcipate in surveys such as this one so we
can get a beer representaon of our members.

Gabriele Boiselle visits SA
In April 2015 famous Equine photographer Gabriele Boiselle
from Germany paid a visit to South Africa taking photos of Friesians, Arabs, Percherons, Lipizzaner and many more for her
sought aIer calendars and coffee table books. To have your
horses photographed by Gabrielle is a big honour and during
her travels she visited three South African Friesian owners.
She started off by photographing Michelle Symingtons gorgeous stallion Dakota at Cape Winelands Riding in Simondium
from where she went to Marlise Botes from Doorndraai Friesian Stud where she focussed on capturing special moments
with big herds of mares, young horses as well as Tjalf 443
‘Sport’. Her last stop before photographing other breeds was
Millford Friesian Stud in Kwazulu Natal where the Midlands
landscape provided the ideal backdrop for some stunning photos.
In 2016 she will be visi'ng South Africa again to present an
Equine Photography clinic which will be organised by the HQ magazine taking place at Doorndraai Friesian Stud. Cost, availability
and booking details will be sent out and the clinic is planned for end of March 2016. Private photo sessions can also be booked for
this period. Send a mail to office@fpssa.co.za for more informa'on.
To read more about Gabriele Boiselle and her work you can visit her website at www.edi'onboiselle.de
SA’s First Model Mare
During the February 2015 inspec'on the first Model mare was registered in
South Africa. All other Model mares to date were imported having already
achieved Model status in the Netherlands.
Titske fan Kolderveen owned by Marlise Botes from Doorndraai Friesian Stud
became model aIer a very successful few months in the show ring.
She was the Supreme In-Hand champion at the 2014 FPSSA Na'onal Show as
well as the Champion Mare in Hand at the 2015 Horse of the Year
WORLDS BEST BREEDER
A big congratula'ons to Marlise and her Doorndraai Team.
Doorndraai are the best breeders of Friesian horses worldwide. What makes this even more momentous is that
Marlise is the 1st women to receive this award and the first
breeder to receive this award outside of the Netherlands.
Since 2012 the KFPS has compiled a list of the top 50 Friesian Breeders in the World. This list is compiled by calcula'ng 1st and 2nd premies achieved during annual inspec'ons world-wide. Foal and 3 year olds are judged at these
inspec'on receiving a premie that is awarded by the KFPS
judges using a mathema'cal evalua'on scale.
1st and 2nd Premies achieved in a specific calendar year
count towards the score for a breeder that will determine
his placing on the World Best Breeders list. 1st premies receive two points and a 2nd premie receives one point. Horses sold that achieve either 1st or 2nd premies will also count
towards the final score for the breeder. The premies are
achieved for all classes from Foal Inspec'on, Star, Model,
Kroon, Studbook Judging etc. will count.
Doorndraai Stud owe their success to years of dedica'on to
the Friesian breed, correct and clever breeding and true passion.
Congratula'ons!!!!

3 Great Stallions Lost
The past few months we had to say goodbye to three of South Africa’s much loved stallions. Jaring fan
Bokkum Vb Star, owned by Ilse & E'enne Combrink, Arjen Vb Star owned by Adelprag Friesian Stud as
well as Wietze de Leije Vb Star owned by Gawie & Henriet Stoltz . All passed away during the first part of
2015. Arjen ridden by Chere Burger was a mul'ple South African dressage champion, Jaring was known
for his prowess in the carriage and Wietze de Leije had a promising future in the single harness . This
was truly a big loss for the South African Friesian community.
