Let's Ride…
Ride the Klein Karoo…
Ontdek die wonder van die Klein Karoo te perd met ons kundige span. Verken die mooiste roetes met ‘n rit op ons geharde & gewillige perde.
Doornkraal has always had horses. We have relied on them for many generations and the 140 years this farm has been cared for by the Le Roux family. And although horses are not used anymore in daily farming activities, they remain loved and trusted companions. We highly value a good temperament, willingness and kindness towards people in a riding horse.
Therefore DOORNKRAAL HORSES are carefully selected from various bloodlines of South African horses that were bred for local conditions – the legendary Cape Riding Horse, Boerperd and Nooitgedachter – known for their outstanding temperament, versatility, riding comfort and sure-footedness.
