Heversham Farm is offering stallion incentives for the next two breeding seasons that are incomparable and unparalleled in the South African racing industry.
The first incentive, totalling a staggering R40-million, has been launched around the first progeny of Heversham’s imported stallion, Gustav Klimt (Galileo x Massarra by Danehill).

The second R40-million incentive will apply to another regally-bred stallion currently in the process of being imported to South Africa, also for the 2025/6 season. An announcement will follow shortly.
The first R40-million incentive applies to the first foal by Gustav Klimt born in 2026 that wins a Grade 1 race in South Africa before 31 July, 2031. He or she will win a bonus of R10 million for its owner, and a further R10-million bonus for its registered breeder.
The same incentive will apply to the first Grade 1 winner until 31 July 2032, that comes from the 2027 foal crop.
This amounts to a staggering amount of R40-million available for horses bred in Gustav Klimt’s first two years at stud. He will stand at a stud fee of R50 000 (R10 000 nomination and R40 000 live foal).
There are no entry fees or other qualifying requirements for eligibility, and Gustav Klimt’s book is limited to100 mares per season, so it is strongly recommended that breeders book their slots early.
As an added motivation, Heversham has procured subsidised transport for mares from the Cape and Kwazulu-Natal. In addition, an all-inclusive fixed boarding rate of R7 500 (excluding veterinary charges) per mare, will apply.
There are also a limited number of lifetime service rights to Gustav Klimt available for purchase.
