The Boerperd is a modern breed of horse from South Africa.

The first horses to be imported into Australia were of this breed, which thus contributed to the evolution of the Australian Waler.

By the end of the wars, numbers were greatly reduced and conservation efforts began.

[7] A separate association, the Boerperd Society of South Africa, formed in 1973.

[6] The Historiese Boerperd was officially recognised by the Department of Agriculture in 1996.
