Lipizzaner History

The Lipizzaner horse breed has quite the remarkable pathology. Once referred to as the 'dancing horses of Vienna', they received their unique name from the Lipica horse, the stud this breed originated from. That famous stud was once called Lipizza and was derived in the late fifteen hundreds in Slovenia. A man named Archduke Charles II of Austria developed this breed and its popularity spread from that point on. During that era, many horses were primarily utilized for the strict purpose of traveling back and fourth from the Iberian peninsula as Krast horses. These horses that were sought after were generally white in color as the Lipizzaner breed is, and had to be, high stepping ones with a showy gait. At the time, the locals were seeking a horse that could be used for shows that was royal in appearance and could be utilized in court stables. They can be found currently in Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, and Lipica. Also, some can be spotted along the Adriatic Sea and in North America also.
