Since 1580, Lipizzaners have been bred by the Hapsburgs, the Royal
family of the Austro-Hungarian Empire to be used in the Royal
carriages and as riding horses in the Royal Courts, including The
Imperial Riding School in the Hofburg in Vienna. The pure
Lipizzaner is a rare breed, due partly, at least, to its turbulent
history. There are approximately 3,500 in total in the World today,
of which the majority are in the State Studs of the countries that
originally formed the Austro-Hungarian Empire. These baroque horses
are especially famous for their exceptional schneeweiss colour -
snow white or silver white - and for their amazing ability to
perform all the athletic movements of the 'Airs above the Ground'
and the classical dressage to music unique to the Spanish Riding
School of Vienna. Packed with information about the breed's history
and stunning photos, this new guide is a fitting homage to the
world-famous Lipizzaner.
