Although most well known for their amazing ability in performing the airs above the ground and the true classical dressage by the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, they were also the Royal carriage horses.
Because of the strict selective breeding over the centuries, these unique horses are one of the most useful all round performance horses in the World. They have excellent bone and hooves, very rarely having leg or foot problems. They are highly intelligent with a genuinely kind temperament. They are long living, often able and willing to work in their late 20s or even 30!
Throughout the World today, Lipizzaners are very successfully being used for dressage, trials driving, endurance, le trek, combined training and more!
For more information on the Lipizzaner please read The Lipizzaner published by Allens and see the DVD The White Horses of Lipizza by TR Films. Both of these can be purchased from the LSGB shop.
We are proud to have as our President Hofrat Univ. Doz. Dr. Jaromir Ouleha, Former Director of The Spanish Riding School of Vienna and The Austrian State Stud at Piber.
