Lipizzaner Qualities
|
Some qualities of the Lipizzaner breed are that
they are distinctively white in color. Some mature later in life than others, but they all have
an equally sweet personality. Utilized for riding, for harness work, dressage uses, and most
commonly for classical equitation purposes, the Habsburg nobles took breeding these horses very
seriously and since the sixteen hundreds, the Lipizzaner breed has held steady in popularity in
their native country. You can see them in many shows around the world and they are rather
famous as stallions that perform with grace and elegance.

Lipizzaner History
|
The Lipizzaner horse breed has quite the remarkable pathology.
Once referred to as the 'dancing horses of Vienna', they received their unique
name from the Lipica horse, the stud this breed originated from. That famous
stud was once called Lipizza and was derived in the late fifteen hundreds in
Slovenia. A man named Archduke Charles II of Austria developed this breed and
its popularity spread from that point on. During that era, many horses were
primarily utilized for the strict purpose of traveling back and fourth from the
Iberian peninsula as Krast horses. These horses that were sought
after were generally white in color as the Lipizzaner breed is, and had to be,
high stepping ones with a showy gait. At the time, the locals were seeking a
horse that could be used for shows that was royal in appearance and could be
utilized in court stables. They can be found currently in Czech Republic,
Austria, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, and Lipica. Also, some can
be spotted along the Adriatic Sea and in North America also.
