MIDRAND – Lipizzaners host free show at Redford House.
The South African Lipizzaners based in Kyalami held a show at Redford House in Blue Hills, Midrand on 2 June, courtesy of Century Property Developments.
People came out in their numbers to enjoy a free show by the Lipizzaners.
“Century has a long-standing association with the South African Lipizzaners dating back to 2010,” said Geoffrey Crow, the head of marketing implementation at Century Property Developments.
“In order to enhance community spirit and support the local entity, Century hosts an annual free performance and invites guests to a wholesome family outing. We have hosted the event at the Waterfall Equestrian Estate, Waterfall Country Estate and more recently at the Redford House School in Blue Hills Equestrian Estate.”
Shona McVey, a student at the Lipizzaners, said she wanted to know more about horse riding because of her love for animals and riding.
“I was born in South Africa but I grew up in Scotland and have decided to move back to South Africa and pursue a career in what I love.”
Another Lipizzaners’ student, Sanela Langa, said he sometimes participates in the annual Dundee July as a rider and has joined the SA Lipizzaners to learn more about horse riding and to perfect his craft.
Midrand Reporter spoke to some of the people in attendance to find out more about their thought on the show. The guests shared that it was exciting to have a chance to watch the Lipizzaners for free in an open field because it creates a child-friendly and great family day environment.
