Owner Ben de Klerk - Indiana
Stud
She was born on 1 January
1961 from an Arab stallion
"Sieraad" and a Boerperd mare
"Blacky" This will turn
out to be a very memorable day
for the Indiana Stud.
"Exchange" as she was fondly
known was never shown under
saddle but made her mark in the
in-hand classes at local and
National shows. She won
numerous Reserve and National
titles as SA Junior and SA
Senior Champion Mare.
In 1965 she had her first
foal - "Indiana Girly-oh-My" by
the stallion "Indiana Moslem"
Girly hurt her hip as a yearling
and was never shown but turned
out to be a very valuable
broodmare. She produced
the SA Single harness champion
"Indiana Peppie". he was
also one of the horses finishing
the first two 100 mile
endurances events at Hofmeyr.
She was also the dam of "Indiana
Indian Chief" - another SA
Champion harness horse.
"Indiana Hundred Pipers" was
also one of her great
off-spring.
In 1975
she gave birth to a filly
"Indiana Sensational Fair Lady"
and what a sensation she was.
SA Junior Champion mare for two
years in a row and the triple SA
Champ - Senior Champion mare,
Champion 3 gaited and Champion
Single harness. This she
also did for three years in a
row. "Sensation" is the
mother of "Indiana Samorai" one
of our best sires who also had
an illustrious show career.
She is also the mother of
"Indiana Janine" - the ever
faithfull kids horse who taught
numerous children including the
Marais brothers, to ride.

In 1977 the filly "Indiana
Love Call" was born. She did
well in the show ring under
saddle but it was also in the
hand classes that she really
made her mark. First as SA
Junior Champion mare and later
as SA Senior Champion mare.
"Love Call" is the mother
of "Indiana Madiba" twice SA 5
gaited Champion as well as "China Girl" in turn
the dam of "Indiana Senorita"
 "Indiana
Senorita"
"Indiana
Madiba"
In 1981 a colt, "Indiana Top
Gear" was born. He was to
become a top sire and father of
"Indiana Sixpence" Top
Gear has a good show career as a
3 gaited riding horse. He
was gelded at the age of 18 due
to cancer and then went on to
become a top children's riding
horse specially in the under 10
walk/trot division.
"Indiana Fair Exchange" bred 4
foals of which 3 became SA
Champions. All her foals
bred National champions and
their offspring are now
producing the SA Champs - what a
horse. She would still
have stood her ground in any
breed class and would have still
been a contender for the blue
ribbon.
