Breeds of Horses - Lipizzan
This page is dedicated to Lipizzan horse lovers, breeders, associations and registries.
The Lipizzan horses at Vucijak stud in Bosnia were suffering terribly from the ravages of the war. Where over 200 horses once thrived, only 46 remained. The horses had been eaten by the Bosnian people, which is understandable in that THEY were starving, but it had left this line on the brink of extinction. Mares, foals and stallions were starving, too. They lacked veterinary care, hoof care, pastures to exercise in, the barns were damaged.
A relief fund has been set up through The United States Lipizzan Registry. The money they collect is sent to the Lipizzan International Federation in Switzerland. Also, Sue Brander, a concerned horse lover, started selling t-shirts and donating part of the money to the USLR.

The Lipizzan Horse
The Lipizzan is a breed of horse who originated at the Austrian imperial stud farm at Lipizza, near Trieste, formerly a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The foundation of the breed dates back to 1580 with detailed records kept from 1700.
Ancestry of the breed is Spanish, Arabian, and Berber.
Lipizzans generally range in size from 14.3 hands to 15.2 hands; weighing from 1000 to 1300 pounds.
Lipizzans are born dark and lighten in color with age. It take several years for the Lipizzan to reach it's mature color which is usually gray or white. Only about 1 in 100 horses remain bay or brown throughout life. These are considered to be good luck.
The best known Lipizzans are those trained at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria.
The Royal Lipizanner Stallion Show travels throughout America exhibiting the skills of this beautiful breed in dressage.Recently I was blessed by my husband with tickets to this event. It has been a lifelong dream to attend a Lipizzan show - see, dreams can come true at any age!
So, my daughter, Maggie (age 7), myself and our friend Carol went to the Oklahoma State Fair Grounds and were touched by the beauty, grace, power and skill of these equine athletes. If you ever have a chance to attend one of these events, I would highly recommend it!
