✨ What an unforgettable evening! ✨
Thank you to everyone who joined us for our "A Night with the Lipizzaners" Fundraiser at Simonsvlei — your support, generosity, and enthusiasm truly made the night one to remember. Thank you for raising a glass and some funds for the South African Lipizzaners 🤍❤️
A heartfelt thank you to Simonsvlei Wines , Igor Pinto, Willem and your entire team at ONS Restaurant for the generous use of your beautiful venue. The atmosphere, service, and food were absolutely fabulous — we couldn’t have asked for better hosts! 🍷
To all our auction item donors: your generosity made the evening possible, and to every bidder, prize winner, and spirited participant — thank you for making the auction such a success. Your contributions directly support the preservation and daily care of our extraordinary horses. 🦄
Each guest also had the chance to “take home their very own Lipizzaner” — in keyring form! Hidden among them were three special brown Lipizzaners, placed in honour of our three beloved brown stallions. The lucky guests who found them each received a special commemorative bottle of wine dedicated to our brown stallions🍷🤎
Each table was beautifully named after one of our stallions, complete with an information card about his unique personality, talents, and training journey, along with sponsorship options for guests who would like to support a horse directly. It was wonderful to see people reading, laughing, and recognising some familiar faces! 🥰
It was also an honour to share the evening with our FirstRand Youth Development students. Hearing them speak about their journeys — how the horses, the training, and the discipline have changed their lives — was deeply moving, and a powerful reminder of how the Lipizzaner continues to help us forge a brighter future.🙌
To everyone who donated on the night — thank you. And to those who would still like to contribute, please visit the link in the comments, which will take you to our Quicket page. Under “Tickets,” you’ll find a donation option, and any amount is deeply appreciated. ✨️
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us continue the legacy of the South African Lipizzaners. 🤍❤️
We can’t wait to welcome you again for our final Classical Performance of the season on 22 November 2025. 🎊
See you in the arena! ✨🐴
