The Spirit of the South African Boerperd
The Boerperd is more than a breed — it’s a symbol of balance, courage, and partnership. Rooted in South Africa’s history, the Boerperd was shaped by endurance, adaptability, and heart. Today, it carries those same qualities into the modern arena: a calm, trainable temperament paired with an elegant, athletic way of moving.
At LePona, we believe the Boerperd represents the perfect harmony between heritage and performance. Our vision is to honour the breed’s traditional strength while refining its natural rhythm and balance for the demands of modern dressage.
Our Vision
We are dedicated to breeding horses that combine:
Correct, athletic conformation
Sound and balanced frames built for longevity.
Rideable, intelligent temperaments
Calm enough for learning, forward enough for performance.
Elastic, expressive movement
The kind of motion that carries natural cadence and grace.
Every pairing is intentional. Every foal is raised with patience and purpose, to develop into a horse that reflects both the history of the Boerperd and the elegance of sport.
Why the Boerperd for Dressage?
Few breeds carry such natural rhythm, suppleness, and connection to their riders as the Boerperd.
With its strong hindquarter engagement, uphill build, and generous character, the Boerperd adapts beautifully to the demands of modern dressage while keeping the authenticity and heart that make it unmistakably South African.
To us, this isn’t just breeding. It’s about shaping a future for the Boerperd, one where the breed stands proudly alongside international sport horses, defined not by fashion but by function, partnership, and soul.
