Doorndraai Friesian Stud

Welcome to Doorndraai Friesian Stud!

Doorndraai Stud is the ONLY Friesian stud in South Africa with FPS Studbook stallions approved for breeding with full "Studbook Status". These stallions include Ritse 322 (approved on offspring) and Tjalf 443 Sport.

At Doorndraai we take great pride in our excellent broodmares. We currently have 17 Star mares (of which 7 are Studbook mares) in our breeding herd, and in 2009 Loret was the first mare in South Africa to be awarded Preferent status.


At the Inspections that took place on 25 May 2010 Pandora van Doorndraai was awarded ‘Voorlopig Kroon’. What makes this exceptional is the fact that Friso fan S. is the first Foal book Stallion in the World to have offspring awarded the Voorlopig Kroon status. ... More info on Friso fan S.	Tjalf 443 ‘sport’ arrived in SA in December 2009 and is settling in nicely. It didn’t take him long to get into the swing of things and we already have 15 mares in foal with him. ... More info on Tjalf 443 Sport	The Doorndraai Inspections went very well with Pandora van Doorndraai achieving ‘Voorlopig Kroon’ status. Other good results was two of our Fillies receiving 1st premies and our only colt Guthro van Doorndraai receiving a 2nd premie all sired by Friso fan S. Two of our Studbook mares achieved Star status, Tjitke B and Tiffinie van Doorndraai.
