WILLOUGHBY Lord (92) is \u2019n afgetrede boer van Hormeyr wat nou in die Erica Sentrum op Cradock woon. Hy is \u2019n dubbele Springbok-sportman, kampioen uithourit-perderuiter, outeur en nou ook kieriemaker van formaat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lord vertel dat hy in 1945 op \u2019n plaas in die Hofmeyr-distrik begin boer het. Met kieries as hulpmiddel het hy dit as \u2019n derde been vir homself gemaak om in die berge mee te stap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGedurende die afgelope 25 jaar het ek af en toe kieries gemaak en aan kinders en famiie gegee. Omtrent twee jaar gelede het ek ernstig begin aandag gee aan die maak van olienhoutkieries met vlakvarktande as handvatsels,\u201d het hy vertel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens hom neem hierdie kieries, met die hand gemaak, baie meer tyd en geduld om te maak. Om goeie, groot tande in die hande te kry, is ook \u2019n probleem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy vertel dat hy in die afgelope tyd ongeveer dertig van die spesiale kieries gemaak het. Die kieries is baie in aanvraag by die Bergkwagga Nasionale Park waar reisigers en internasionale besoekers dit graag koop en sy kinders wil nou ook van die spesiale kieries h\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lord was \u2019n bekende boer en het op verskillende landbou-organisasies gedien. Hy was onder meer ook vir twintig jaar op die bestuur van die Oos-Kaapse Vleisprodusente-organisasie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy vertel dat hy sy lewe lank tennis ge-speel het en in 2002 gekies is om Suid-Afrika in veteraantennis vir spelers van 75 jaar oud, te verteenwoordig by die w\u00eareldbyeenkoms in Perth, Australi\u00eb. Vyf jaar later het hy in die 80-plus-afdeling weer vir Suid-Afrika in Turkye gespeel waar die span sewende uit vyftien spanne gekom het en hy en sy maat \u2019n silwermedalje in die mansdubbelafdeling gewen het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs seun het ek op \u2019n perd grootgeword en later begin deelneem aan gimkana-kompetisies. Baie oefening is nodig om die kuns te bemeester en in 1963 was ek een van vier ruiters wat Suid-Afrika in Zambi\u00eb verteenwordig het. Ons span het gewen en ons het Presidant Kaunda by die Ndolaskou ontmoet,\u201d het hy vertel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uithouritte is ook \u2019n perdekompetisie waar man en perd oor lang afstande kompeteer. In 1979 is die eerste \u201cHonderd Myler\u201d (160 km) in die land by Hofmeyr gehou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lord het eerste gekom in \u2019n rekordtyd van 10 uur en 9 minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joggie Jansen, oud-Springbokrugby-speler, het n\u00e1 een so \u2019n Honderd Myler glo vir Lord ges\u00ea \u201cSo \u2019n rit eis meer van \u2019n mens se liggaam as \u2019n rugbytoets!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lord het ook \u2019n paar jaar gelede, glo op aandrang van sy vier skoondogters, \u2019n boek oor sy herinneringe en ander staal-tjies, geskryf. Daar was groot belangstelling en die hele oplaag is verkoop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
