The Lipizzan, or Lipizzaner (Slovene Lipicanec), is a breed of horse closely associated with what the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria. It dates back to the 16th century, when it was developed with the support of the Hapsburg nobility. The horses take their name from one of the oldest stud farms where the breed developed, Lippiza, a Kras village now known as Lipica (Italian: Lipizza), near Trieste in modern-day Slovenia.
Breed characteristics
The typical horse of this breed measures between fourteen and sixteen hands. They are compact and muscular, with very powerful hindquarters, allowing them to do the difficult "High School" (Dressage) movements, sometimes known as the "airs above the ground." They generally have a strong-featured head with a convex profile, set high on a well-muscled, arched neck. They have short cannons, their legs have good bone, and well-sloped shoulders. Their gaits are powerful and elastic, although different in style from the Warmblood breeds seen in many Dressage competitions. Lipizzans are naturally balanced, well-known for excellent trainability, and are very intelligent.
