Lipizzaner

Breed Information
The Lipizzan, or Lipizzaner (Croatian: Lipicanac, Czech: Lipicán, Hungarian: Lipicai, Italian: Lipizzano, Slovene: Lipicanec), is a breed of horse originating in Lipica in Slovenia.

The Lipizzan breed dates back to the 16th century, when it was developed with the support of the Habsburg nobility. The breed takes its name from one of the earliest stud farms established, located near the village of Lipica (spelled "Lipizza" in Italian), in modern-day Slovenia. The breed has been endangered numerous times by warfare sweeping Europe, including during the War of the First Coalition, World War I, and World War II.

The traditional horse training methods for Lipizzans were developed at the Spanish Riding School and are based on the principles of classical dressage. Lipizzans have starred or played supporting roles in many movies, TV shows, books, and other media.
