Our Story

A journey through three generations and two farms

KLAVERVLEI STUD was founded in 1953 by John’s grandfather Ralph Koster in Beaufort West. Ralph imported broodmares from the best Irish and English families to his Karoo farm. These mares provided Klawervlei’s current genetic pillars. John has built on this remarkable legacy by expanding the current broodmare band with local and international mares of the highest quality.
