1st of January 2000 was a very special day the day of entry into the world by our future sport horse prospect, Africa's Wap. His entry was the culmination of years of pre-planning and dedication by all concerned. He is the first Appaloosa to be conceived via frozen semen in South Africa and is a worthy fore-runner for all future progeny conceived via this method. We owe a great deal to Cheri Moats owner of Wap Spotted - from Kismet Farms USA - for her willingness to help us. Her knowledge and expertise has greatly contributed to the future of our stud.
Africa's Wap (the Appaloosa colour gene is represented as "wAp". The "w" is for the white gene, the "Ap" for the Appaloosa white gene.)
is siring foals with bone, excellent conformation and size. His Dam is El Jay's Brackenwood a Warmblood mare from Wachmann ll lines and his sire, the internationally acclaimed Appaloosa Sport Horse Wap Spotted.
We are delighted with Wap's first show experience where he achieved 67.7% in his pre-novice dressage test, subsequently winning his class. Then he proceeded to win the stallion - in - hand class at the 2004 East London Agricultural show.
Ridden by Jennifer Whyle he also entered the East Cape Dressage Championships and had magnificent results after only being back in work for 2 months after an injury to his neck whereby a 15cm long, pencil thick piece of wood penetrated his neck and caused paralysis of his face. They came 2nd in the Pre-lims and 3rd with 60% in the Novice dressage test - competing against very experienced novice horses - the winning score being 63%
