Training
"I will remain vocal all my life about the quality of horses that Ruconu has provided us with"
"The horses we use at Pegasus Retreats, whether it was in the Delta with our operation pre-covid there, or currently in Mozambique and the Bushveld - really NEED TO BE (note, not 'can be') surefooted, dependable and reliable to the utmost degree."
Success stories
"I will remain vocal all my life about the quality of horses that Ruconu (the brainchild of Mariann du Plessis) have provided us with, time & time again. The horses we use at Pegasus Retreats, whether it was in the Delta (Botswana) with our operation pre-covid there, or currently in Mozambique and the Bushveld (Waterberg) - really NEED TO BE (note, not 'can be') surefooted & be dependable&reliable to the utmost degree."
"A year ago searching for my dream horse I came across Ruconu Appaloosa Stud. Start chatting away telling Mariaan my journey with horses. Mariaan made my dreams come true with selling me Da Vinci, but with the whole purchase and waiting for Da vinci to come home, she listened and accommodated my needs and there was always a line of communication. Buying from Ruconu Appaloosa Stud was the best choice I've ever could have made and will support and recommend them a 1000%."

"I have been riding and have owned horses for 51 years. A good riding horse must have an even temperament, and that is where Marianne’s horses excel. The way she raises these youngsters is the key to their success. They are people’s horses. I have 4 Ruconu horses at present. They are outstanding riding horses, have huge personalities, good feet and are an absolute pleasure to own. Life is too short not to own a quality horse."
