WELCOME TO FAVOUR STUD

Favour Stud is presently home to some of South Africa’s finest thoroughbreds and is acquiring a strong presence in equine racing and breeding since 2008.
Ernst and Engelize Du Preez acquired the farm in 2007. His personal involvement with the stud and winning philosophy have set the standard for Favour Stud’s team of dedicated professional managers and staff.
Favour Stud offers mares comfortable large bedded stalls, daily turnout and individual feeding needs. Attentive care provides scheduled vaccinations, reproductive care, with a selected farrier and veterinarian in close proximity. The management team – Renate and Jannie stay on the farm and night watch is provided by experienced employees, and constant communication with staff ensures safety for all the horses.
Renate and Jannie are continuously implementing the newest proven management and training techniques. The high rate of placements in the thoroughbred races are proof of their continued strive towards excellence.
The Stud Farm is a registered thoroughbred horse breeder and training facility with the National Horse Racing Authority and member of the Thoroughbred Breeders Association, The Cape Breeders Club and the SA Racing Association.
Meaning of Favour: Favour for us is an act done out of goodwill and generosity.Favour Racing Silks. Favour Stud breeds to race and race in its own racing colours and we therefore do not only breed horses but also actively race our own horses.
We actively enjoy and partake in the horse racing industry and ultimately experience the irresistible excitement and lifestyle filled with passion as racehorse owners and breeders.
KWEKERY & DAM RESTAURANT
‘n Nuwe jaar, ‘n wonderlike nuwe begin!
Hierdie Kwekery & Dam Restaurant gaan Dié PLEK in die groter Hessequa (en later wyer) omgewing word waar onvergeetlike oomblikke met geliefdes, vriende of kennisse geskep gaan word.
Die Maatskappy se naam is nie verniet: Beloftegrond nie. Met eienaars, Jaco & Reinette Swanepoel en ‘n vriendelike spannetjie: Ansie, Maurina en Elmarie in die Restaurant en Tania en Irwan in die Kwekery, beloof enige besoek aan hierdie besigheid ‘n sorgvrye belewenis te wees vol spesiale aandenkings.
Die spesiale geleenthede soos verjaarsdae, konferensies, partytjies en troues getuig reeds van heerlike kos en keurige bediening. Aldus een van die gaste: “Hierdie is die lekkerste troue (en glo my, ek was al by baie) met die lekkerste kos wat ek nog bygewoon het”. Elke buitelander wat met die Kwekery se toerismebordjies ry tot by die prageiendom, staan verstom.
Hul spreek hul waardering uit vir die uitsig, besondere atmosfeer, uitmuntende etes en warm vriendelikheid. Die Restaurant verwerf hierdeur 5 sterre op ‘Tripadvisor’.
Sondagetes is nou weer die norm. Spesiale tafelhoekies word geskep vir bespreekte gaste en etes word deur Jaco met sorg voorberei – vars elke Sondagoggend… en almal kuier heerlik in die gesellige atmosfeer wat heers. Die kontantkroeg is deurentyd beskikbaar.
Die Tentakkommodasie is reeds beskikbaar op ‘n Bed-en-Ontbytbasis (“die matras! Die beddegoed! Die mooi interieur! He-e-erlik geslaap en gestort!” Aldus ‘n gas). Gesellige kuierarea met TV en aandetes vervolmaak gaste se ervaring. Dierbare dwergkonyne en hoenders is heeltyd te siene; ganse loop in die weidingsarea en die lagduifies skep ‘n rustige atmosfeer.
‘n Baie Spesiale Valentynsete (14 Februarie) met ‘n dans agterna (met 2 verrassings!) gaan ‘n tendens vorm vir toekomstige romantiese aande waartydens paartjies kan ontspan en kwaliteit tyd met mekaar kan spandeer. ‘n ‘Ballroom’ instrukteur sal dié wat wil leer Ramba en Tango ens. so tussendeur met raad en daad bedien, of daar kan net gesellig gekyk word hoe dit gedoen word.
Lekker kuier, lekker eet en ja, nou ook lekker slaap – nou sinoniem van Die Kwekery & Dam Restaurant. Moet dit nie mis nie!
