Middlepoint Appaloosa stud is owned by Hennie Oosthuizen and his family near Verkeerdevlei. The stud started in 1963 when Hennie’s father (Gert Oosthuizen) bought a few spot mare named Fairlayne with a near leopard colt on an auction at Excelsior from a black man from Lesotho.The colt was named Smoke Signals and was crowned as the first horse completed 1000km in organized endurance riding in South Africa.
Fairlayne bred us another 12 foals. One of her foals named Alphaloosa also did well in endurance riding and completed 8 Fouriesmith Endurance Ridings. Fairlayne and her foals formed the base of Middlepoint Appaloosa stud.
Stallions that had a great influence on our stud were: Southeren Baue(USA), Middlepoint Vonk, Middlepoint Kolbooi, Middlepoint Rendezvous, Temple Island Moonglow, Middlepoint Genetic Explosion and Alpha Toby’s Go Lightly.
We are proud to announce our new stallions: Alpha Toby’s Moonshine, a few spot leopard who bred eight national champions and Middlepoint Moonshine's Reflection.
Our goal is to produce Appaloosa horses with excellent movement, conformation and temperament that will be able to compete in any kind of equine sport and showing.
