HENLEY-ON-KLIP. – Cordale Stud and Stables recently attended the Eastern Cape Welsh Championships in Cradock. According to Dale Brits, instructor and owner of Cordale, it was a great and very successful show.
Bukkenburg Garth, owned by Brits and shown by Alex Steenbeek returned with their title of Supreme Champion Welsh under Saddle for the second year running.
Alex also drove for National Stud, winning the Girls Fine Harness. Llaneli Ballerina, owned and shown by Veronique Opperman, walked away with a fifth in the Supreme championships, as well as many other prizes.
Henrich Kruger, riding Ben Hur Gerald for the National stud, did very well. He did not receive anything less than fourth class in any of his classes.
This same pony, however, returned with the title of Supreme Welsh in hand on show.
“Congratulations to all the riders, once again you have made me proud,” says Brits.
