one of our first range trotter mares was a 'safari' mare, mbalenhle - now a champion in endurance and proven producer of quality safari bloodstock. thandiwe & thandeka are the great-grandfoals of that original safari mare that sparked our love of these markings. a signature characteristic of our african mares & stallions is their creamy coats - champagne, cremello, palomino - and our twins are no exception; champagne & buckskin with their sire's jackal markings. we couldn't have asked for a better cross in colour and temperament with the safari stallion zouai. all of the waiting since permission for zouai to cover one of our mares was given long ago has paid off! they're a beautiful little family.

the twins have now grown into two beautiful young horses, both hard-working and willing like their great-granddam so long ago. thandeka is a feisty young mare, as loud, tempermental and annoying as a mare in heat only it's like her cycle never ends. to some she does show them that kind eye, like her family, twin and pasturemates. we're hoping it's just a phase, right?
