Die dag toe Irma Grigor vir die hoeveelste keer soos \u2019n pakdonkie by haar Plaaswerf-nasorg instap, was die dag wat daar besluit is \u2026 aikona \u2026 nou is dit tyd om regte perde in te span vir die pakkasie!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sy het die nasorg as-ook \u2019n dagsorg op \u2019n kleinhoewe op Despatch begin waar leerders van die nabygele\u00eb Laerskool Sonop na skool inklok vir verder leer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOp Vrydae het ons die kinders toegelaat om op die Walliese ponies te ry. Dit was groot pret. Toe besluit ons, vir so bietjie bederf gaan ons die kinders nou en dan by die skool haal met die perdekarretjie,\u201d s\u00ea Irma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By di\u00e9 nasorg is dit pure plaas. Wanneer huiswerk klaar is kan die kinders hulself op die speelwerf gaan geniet en selfs met die miniatuur varkies en hasies speel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cO vader! Die kinders stink party dae pure varkie. Ek glo \u2019n kind moet leer, maar speel is net so belangrike deel van leer. En hier speel hulle hulself pootuit!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2019n Kind moet kan vat aan \u2019n dier, ons leer hulle om mooi te vat want dit is \u2019n liefde om oor te dra en ook goeie terapie,\u201d s\u00ea Irma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die kleinhoewe en Walliese ponies behoort aan Gerhard Lotz, na wie daar spottenderwys verwys word as die Plaaswerf se \u201cskoolhoof\u201d. Sy oorlede pa, Abel Hermanus Lotz, was vroe\u00ebr jare bekend op skoue vir sy pragtige Walliese ponies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Di\u00e9 bloedlyn loop nog sterk en wanneer dit tyd is om met die perdekarretjie die kinders te gaan haal is dit Wayne (28) en sy hings-seun Rapier (24) wat ingespan word. Dan is daar ook nog twee merries, Pienkie en Robyn, wat kans kry om die karretjie te trek. Hy s\u00ea \u2019n Walliese ponie is oor die algemeen \u2019n rustige perd en ideaal vir kinders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gerhard is bekend vir di\u00e9 Walliese ponies wat ingespan word om vir troues en selfs matriekafskeide \u2019n spoggerige koets te trek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die gehaal van kinders by die skool met die perdekarretjie is nie elke dag se storie nie, want soos Irma s\u00ea, \u201cdit is \u2019n bederf, ek wil nie dat hulle dit as vanselfsprekend aanvaar nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wanneer dit tyd is om die ponies in te span, moet hulle vier ritte na die skool en terug maak om al die kinders by die nasorg te kry. Op hierdie stadium maak Gerhard haar nog touwys oor hoe om die perdekarretjie te stuur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSy is nog \u2019n learner. Ek sal haar lisensie vir haar gee as ek sien sy weet hoe om die ponies mooi te stuur,\u201d s\u00ea Gerhard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy is in die proses om \u2019n karretjie te omskep wat deur een ponie getrek kan word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDan sal dit vir Irma makliker wees om die karretjie te hanteer. Dit is nogal \u2019n slag wat \u2019n mens moet h\u00ea om die twee ponies te stuur,\u201d s\u00ea Gerhard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Irma s\u00ea die beloning van die ponieritte l\u00ea in die kinders se gesiggies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk s\u00ea nie wanneer ek hulle met die perdekarretjie gaan haal nie. As hulle ons sien is dit glimlaggies van oor tot oor. Dis vir my vreeslik lekker en dan is ek ook sommer vol smiles en dan is my hart happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs die ponies rus, stap ons, dit is goeie oefening en vir van die kinders die enigste oefening op \u2019n dag,\u201d s\u00ea Irma. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
