  tephanus Phillipus Fouche (Fanie) can be seen as the "father" of the American Saddle Horse in South Africa. Practically all the the old champions in the show ring and many of today even stem from horses which he bred. The first horse that he imported was in 1933 - the four year old chestnut stallion Peavine Richard Couer de Lion. In 1943 he imported Proud Bourbon O' Goshen. Many of his off-spring fetched record prices. He imported Edgeview King ( known in the States as Juan Rex/ Edgewood King) in 1947 which sired an large number of great riding horses.
