Maine Chance Farms has announced the appointment of internationally experienced and widely respected horseman Ross Fuller in the capacity of Stud Manager, at the world-renowned historic home of champions in the beautiful Robertson valley in the Western Cape.

Ross Fuller was born in Zimbabwe and boasts a strong farming background. He has been associated in years past with champion South African breeding operations of the ilk of Wilgerbosdrift, Drakenstein and Ridgemont, and returns to the African continent after furthering his vast professional experience in Australia and England.
Ross Fuller said: “After spending a number of years abroad, I look forward to the opportunity of returning and working with an industry leader in Maine Chance.”
Dr Andreas Jacobs said that he believed that Maine Chance have appointed a man with enormous knowledge and experience.
“Ross Fuller has demonstrated that he shares our ethics and a love of the thoroughbred racehorse. He will be part of a dynamic team that includes passionate horsewomen in Hundra Prins and Danni Kuttel, horsemen Tom Quata and Jackson Nkomphela, and a loyal staff complement that we are justly proud of.”
Multiple champion breeders of a generation of champions, including recently exported 2023 SA Horse Of The Year Princess Calla, the Maine Chance brand has been at the cutting edge of South African thoroughbred breeding in the 21st century under the stewardship of the Jacobs family.
The Maine Chance banner has been carried by the progeny of late seven times SA champion sire Silvano, his Champion son Vercingetorix, past Champion 2yo sire Querari and Dubawi’s exciting son Erupt.
