Lipizzaners are fabulous horses. On May 19th 1580, a decision was made to set up a prince’s farm at Lipizza, which is rocky and situated on top of the Karszt Hill. This is where they tried to produce outstanding, durable horses to display the economy in all its splendour for the Imperial Court. Breeding, in compliance with the fashion of the time, began with Spanish horses, but they searched the whole of Europe for any stallions and mares appearing to meet the required objectives. A total of 8 stallions took part in development of the breed and they founded some lines still recognised today (Pluto, Conversano, Favory, Maestoso, Neapolitan, Siglavy, Incitato, Tulipán).
It is a classical representative of the Baroque style. It is willing to learn, very obedient, ready to work, hard, resistant and not too demanding. Its movement is distinctive, expressed in lithe and active motion.
