What a way to end the year – the BSR Pub Run was nothing short of legendary! Residents arrived at the clubhouse dressed to impress (and some to make us laugh), ready to walk, run, or ride their way into festive glory.

Our four pop-up bars were the real stars of the show!
First up, PA Rum PA Rum Rum, where the rum flowed smoother than Santa's sleigh.

Next, Jingle’s Jogs Hydration Station kept everyone refreshed and jingling all the way. Stop three?

The Naughty Who Hut – where some of you might have secured a permanent spot on Santa’s naughty list.

Stolen Cheer Tavern, featuring an epic water-gun tunnel that made sure no one left without a splash (and maybe a little revenge plotting for next year).

BSR, you showed up and showed out – here's to many more laughs, sips, and memories in the new year! Cheers!

Who says you can't have a horse-themed cake when you live in an equestrian estate?
Around here, it’s practically a rite of passage!

For those who don't know, one of our talented residents is a baking wizard. Meet Elmarie, the creative force behind The Bakehouse.

Elmarie has been whipping up delicious masterpieces for years. From show-stopping wedding cakes and adorable baby shower cupcakes to intricately decorated royal icing cookies and festive Christmas cakes, she does it all—and she does it brilliantly.

Looking for something sweet and unforgettable? Elmarie's got you covered (in icing, of course).

🎅About the Christmas Carols evening hosted by the Van Buuren family:

This past weekend, residents of Blue Saddle Ranches and friends gathered at the "Fun" Buuren Ranch for a heartwarming evening in support of children living with Rett Syndrome. Father Christmas made a special appearance, bringing joy as children eagerly shared their wish lists, posed for photos on his lap, and enjoyed festive treats.

The evening concluded with a heartfelt prayer and a touching explanation of how Father Christmas works for Jesus, followed by the much-loved Carols by Candlelight. Set against the stunning Blue Saddle sunset, with rumbling clouds adding to the magic, more than 120 attendees sang their hearts out while the children ensured their place on the 'nice list.'

"A big thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed so generously to the Rett Foundation. Your kindness and support made the event truly memorable.

God bless you and your families. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!" Giulia Van Buuren.

I might get into serious trouble for saying this, but it’s totally worth it. It’s not every day you meet someone who radiates kindness, compassion, and an unstoppable drive to make the world a better place.

Meet Roelien, owner of Earth and Leaf. Her passion for gardening has blossomed into creating the most delicious treats under her brand, 'Tails' of Flavour. From flavored salts and pesto to handmade pasta and now festive stuffing, Roelien’s creations are nothing short of extraordinary. And here’s the best part—every single cent of profit goes to supporting our local animal welfare.

Sometimes, if I’m lucky, I get to visit her little sanctuary in Blue Saddle Ranches. Among the plants, with bees buzzing and chickens clucking, we chat about dreams of a kinder, greener world.

Roelien is also a proud part of The Happiness Project. She was one of the driving forces behind our recycling unit and is always deeply involved in the many charities we support here in BSR.

Thank you, Roelien, for reminding us all how much one person can achieve with a big heart and boundless passion.

07/12/2024

As we embrace the festive season, we are reminded of those less fortunate. This week, we had the privilege of spreading joy in a special way. Roelien, from our Happiness Project, teamed up with Helen from Rainbow Nation Animals to visit the Randvaal Old Age Home.

Helen introduced Loofy, a lovable therapy dog, to the residents. Loofy’s role is to bring love, cuddles, and countless smiles, and he certainly succeeded!

We are also delighted to share that Boskind Creations donated an incredible sensory blankets, thoughtfully designed by Annalien (the owner), specifically for individuals with dementia. These blankets provide comfort and stimulation, helping to improve the quality of life for those who use them. For more information, visit www.boskindcreations.com

A heartfelt thank you to all our sponsors for their continued support. Our Christmas Drive boxes are still at the clubhouse, and we encourage you to contribute by donating food, old clothes, bedding, or any items you no longer need.

Soon we will be extending our support to the Ebenezer Shelter in Orange Farm. Together, we can make a meaningful difference this festive season.

28/11/2024

With Christmas just around the corner and another year nearly complete, it's the perfect time to pause, count our blessings, and give back to those in need. This year, we are doing it in style by supporting some incredible local charities:

Rainbow Nation Animals
Lethabo Crèche
Randvaal Old Age Home
Ebenhezer Shelter in Orange Farms
If you’re doing some spring cleaning, or if you can add an extra can of dog food, a toothbrush, or a tin of food to your shopping, please consider dropping your donations into our beautiful donation boxes at the clubhouse. The Happiness Project team will ensure each donation reaches the right charity, making a meaningful impact.

For monetary donations or additional support, please contact Sue, Roelien, or Cindy, who will gladly guide you.

“We make a life by what we give.”

Let’s come together to spread joy and compassion this festive season!

Great things are never done by one person, they are done by a team.
Saturday's It's Not About Me Christmas Party was a shining example of the magic that happens when people come together for a good cause.
Three children’s homes, with 50 incredible individuals, were treated to a day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments.

This would not have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors:
• Nu-Chem - Wayne Carnell
• Roeline and Sue
• Rochelle and Chad
• Esme and Family from PolarNyx
• Paul and Family
• Wayne and Family
• Prisha and Jaco
• Hannah and Family
• Cindy and Gavin Dean

• Greg Van Zyl and Family
• Kerry Sharp
• Bev Nicholson
• Juanita Le Roux
• Tamsin Rawlins
• Kerri and Family
• Ash Karow
• Dudley
• Crusaders and friends - Joburg South
• Happiness Project Team

Thank you for going above and beyond to make this day special!
Your contributions helped bring smiles to these children’s faces, and the joy on their faces was priceless.
Whether it was splashing on the slippery slide, enjoying a delicious lunch, or receiving their gifts, every moment was made memorable because of YOU.
Blue Saddle Ranches, you ROCK!
Together, we’ve shown that a team effort can truly change lives. Thank you for making this day extraordinary!

Tonight's storm swept over our beautiful equestrian estate, bringing both powerful energy and serene moments captured by our residents. The skies danced with lightning and rolling clouds, casting dramatic scenes over our open fields and lush landscapes.
In the calm after the storm, soft light illuminated mist rising from the paddocks, capturing the tranquil beauty of our community. These moments are a reminder of why we live here—surrounded by nature’s stunning displays and a community that cherishes every breathtaking view our estate offers.
