Lipizzans

By Lorijo Metz

The Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria gave fame to these graceful horses for their balletic dressage performances. The breed's noble history is traced, from its origins in the sixteenth century through its protection by the American military in World War II to its growing popularity around the world today. Great photographs of Lipizzans doing everything from performing the famous airs above the ground to getting some well-deserved downtime in their stalls are sure to entrance all readers.
