Calvinia Horse
Country of Origin: South Africa
Intro
Also called the Hantam Horse the Calvina is incredibly rare, if any purebred animals exist at all.
Origins
This is a relatively new breed as was developed during the 19th century in the western cape of South Africa. The Hantom horse is the result of a cross between Arabian & Thoroughbred animals to local cape mares (Boer horses). More recently Friesian, Oldenburg & Cleveland Bay has also been added. The resulting animal has a great attitude and graceful conduct.
Since 1983 when a breeder’s society was formed these animals have been known as the SA Vlaamperd, a rare breed found only in western South Africa.
