Lipizzaners bring joy, light and love into the lives of everyone who meets them. As a Non-Profit Company, without public support we would never have achieved a legacy of over 70 years in South Africa… and counting!

Aside from coming to watch them perform, there are so many other ways to help us. Read below to see how you can make a difference in preserving this magnificent breed and the art of classical horsemanship.

We have an amazing team of volunteers at the South African Lipizzaners. Their help is invaluable to the successful running of each and every performance.

Our volunteers help with:

  • Running our souvenir shop
  • Managing our ticket office
  • Backstage assistance during performances
  • General event support

Many of our volunteers have been with us for decades now, and we are so grateful for their dedication and support.

Interested in becoming a volunteer?

We value dedication, passion and commitment above all else. The student program is intensive! What you put in is what you get out.

Our comprehensive 10-month program provides hands-on experience in all aspects of classical horsemanship, from daily care to performance training.
