This area is quickly becoming the ‘horse centre” of South Africa and is often referred to as “South Africa’s French Rivera” The sweeping Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountains are the backdrop to our farm which was especially chosen as a home for the rare, precious, indigenous Nooitgedacht Horses! A stream running through the property is the head water of the Piesang River. It meanders along the boundary of the property and is framed by stony cliffs hiding rare ferns, cycads, Outeniqua yellowwood, ironwood and stinkwood. Spec- tacular view sites abound and can be enjoyed on a misty, early morning outride. An entire section of the farm has been left to natural indigenous Fynbos and with its huge diversity of flowering plants there is always a stunning flower show to appreciate. 1 About the Nooitgedachter Translated from Afrikaans, Nooitgedacht means “Never Imagined” an apt name for a horse that will exceed all your expecta- tions!
