of all ages and sizes. They are found in Johannesburg, Swaz, Lesotho, and Cape
Town, South Africa.
Boerperd’s stand at around fifteen hands in full grown size.
They are generally bred in any color, typically one solid color rather than
mixtures or patterns. They are a fit and lean breed with good shoulders and
hard feet, they also have great joints and a shorter back, which aids their

food and travel for miles without any issues, even in dangerous temperatures.
