Ouma stap parkrun 250 keer
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Nuwejaarsdag was ‘n besondere mylpaal vir Hilda Louw wat haar 250ste parkrun gestap het. Hilda is 78 jaar oud en een van die oudste damesstappers by die Matlosana Bird Park Run.
Sy verjaar in April. Hilda het in 2015 die Klerksdorp parkrun begin stap en het na haar 200ste keer gesê sy mik vir die 250ste een. As ‘n afgetrede onderwyseres by Wesvalia en KPS, en met ‘n stywe been (‘n besering na ‘n motorongeluk) het sy dit met wilskrag aangedurf. Sy het geen einde nie en sê sy sien nog kans om nog 50 parkruns aan te pak.

Jong ruiter ’n dapper muis
deur Magda Lourens
Klerksdorp Rekord, Klerksdorp - Elke keer as dié jong ruiter op haar perd se rug klim, is sy in haar “happy place”. Klein Riané Groenewald (5), is ‘n danige ruiter, wat nie skrik as sy afgegooi word nie.
Riané het voor 2-jarige ouderdom al die eerste keer op ‘n perd se rug geklim, en het dit só geniet, dat sy vandag steeds ‘n minimum van drie keer ‘n week 10km per rit, op haar perd Farris, ry.
Ma Amé het in 2017 ‘n perdryskool begin, Azar-Ali Endurance, wat spesialiseer in uithouritte vir ervare ruiters. Riané se liefde vir perdry kom van haar ma af, wat self ‘n groot diereliefhebber is en uithouritte ry. Amé vertel dat Riané vir niks skrik nie. Sy is baie lief vir enige dier en kompeterend. Sy is baie sportief en speel netbal, hokkie en tennis, doen Acro en Dance Mouse.
Riané se rede waarom sy juis van perde hou, is dat dit haar gelukkig maak om op haar perd se rug te wees.
