Thank you for sharing! I too love these horses. I did my senior theme on them back in l971. They are truly amazing and their history is very interesting. We are so fortunate that they were saved.
I think there were millions of girls with horse books. I was fortunate enough to have a grandfather with Morgan horses - so I got to ride often. But this filming adventure was such a dream come true..
Thank you for posting this lovely video! You should know that all the movements are natural movements of the horse. Refined perhaps, but if one has ever seen a stallion court a mare at liberty, he will basically perform all these movements, including the arched neck.
+Jefferdaughter And, as another poster pointed out, other breeds can also perform these movements, though few know how to develop the horse physically and to train it to do them.
Beautiful! I had no idea these were in Slovenia, only at Piber and the school in Vienna. I had that Marguerite Henry book. I learned a lot from it too, really helped my seat. My cow pony was impressed! XD
Such gorgeous creatures! I would love to know how the riders are chosen and what their training is like. I did notice in the tempe passes their hind legs were not in sync with their front and would have deductions in the modern dressage world. I am not criticizing, just pointing out some differences in baroque and modern dressage.
I noticed the hind legs didn't change leads too, but I suspect this is the early part of their training done here. Further training would continue if they are chosen for the main stable in Vienna.
They have an intricate history. Very much tied to that of former Habsburg Empire. The original stud farm is in Slovenia, Lipica by which they were named. There was another farm in Kladrub, Czech Rep. which specialized in heavier horses for carriages. Also besides 6 main lines there are two other lines: Tulipan which was created by Count Jankovic in Croatia (namely Lipik - named after horses) and Incitato originally in Transylvania, Romania (then part of Hungary), later south-central Hungary.
Those are my favorites too! And i can't stop dreaming about meeting them, but i don't really think that my dream will ever come true, but i will always keep hoping for the best :') !
They decent from spanisch and arabian horses? Only the Pluto (Spanish ) and the Siglavy (Arabian) lines. Maestoso and Favory were Kladruber and Neapolitano and Conversano where Neapolitan stallions (this breed is unfortunaly extinc). Pluto is not just his name, it is his ancestory. This beautiful creature is called Pluto Monteaura. After his founding stallion Pluto foaled in Danmark in 1765 and his mother line Spadiglia (Karst mare) born in 1778. Monteaura is a name commonly jused in this mare line in Lipica. Other breeds can preform the airs. I know several horses who can do a levade and courbette (the jumping on the hind legs) and non of them are Lipizzaner. Lipizzaners have more space in a joint in there pelvis, this makes the collection more easy. did you know they used to have more colors. Gray is a dominant color and the royals preferred the gray coat, that combination and the relatively small breeding population made sure the majority is now gray (white horses are born white and have pink skin). Still there are some that never turn white. If you can find a copy of the movie "Miracle of the White Stallions" it is based on a true story. Alois Podhajsky's role is extremely exaggerated, but it is how the breeding herd was saved after WW2. For the end they used the mares of the Lipica Stud, the Piber stud did not want to have there mares rushed on by army vehicles again. Greetings from a Lipizzaner fan ;)
I saw that movie. It was long ago. My love of horse has been with me since child good. I had all the books I could find, from the library or from a purchase. This information that you share is familiar. I live in America, and always made shows when they visited. Marvelous, Impressive,👍👍👍👍👍👍 I could go on and on!!!💞💞💞💝💝💝
This style looks totally different to the spanish school of vienna even though they are the same breed ...this is much more forward..i like it ..not that either way is better..much more uphill too ..more coming from the hind quaters
@@RobinBenzle My niece got a Lippizaner, she does do dressage with her horse called Busted, he only gets love, no beating with a whipe or anything else, she trully loves her Lippizaner, kind regards.
This is a guilty indulgence.. Hmm, gray hoses = mega loaded investment in Quick Silver. If you have grooming OCD, gray horses give you a life purpose, lol. Very beautiful, they are.
the foals may be weaned at 6-8 months, but can stay in the broodmare herd till training age. Yes, the horses were overflexed causing restricted airways, it is a shame to see modern training in a traditional stable.
I don't ride, but this overflexed issue I have heard about. I wondered if that might be (saw another video and more than one person made that comment), and I saw similarity to said video and the horses head position. Why is this done? I also saw bridleless and it was beautiful💞💞💞
This video was taken 13 ago. I hope you changed your point of view towards horses since. The way of keeping the mares with foals now on pasture. The stallions in boxes instead of being attached in stands the day long. You practiced Rollkur! All things forbidden in our days because of animal protection laws.
SenyaSaysSo sorry they are protected so no one can have this horses only sloven sorry about that but other nations stolen to much of our things and called theirs so we protected the horse
I keep wondering why horses are often considered a 'girly' interest in American, when that is not the case elsewhere in the world. Even in the USA, many excellent horsemen (humans skilled with horses) are men!
@@RobinBenzle hello and Good evening. I have always felt something so strong for this horses and the skill and everything around this horses. We might be old souls who lived with and trained with the lipizaner horse who knows. Big hugs to you. 🙏🤗🇸🇪💖
I've been there too and it was wonderful! I will never forget it. 👍
Me, too. A great day in my life!
Yes, that was it for me too!
One of the most beautiful smart horse breeds.
You're absolutely right!
Thank you 🙏💖🙋♀️🇸🇪🤗
Wonderful...my favourite as well!!! This was a real treat!
I have a dream of them dancing in my ballet!
thank you so much!
Gorgeous animals, and such good mommies !
What a wonderful day that was!

Boy, aren't we! Thanks for writing..
Robin, thank you soooo much for sharing this. I was the little girl with the horse books too. :) Thank you!

I live in slovenia and I ride lipizzaners too and they are GRATE horses! :D I really enjoy riding them! they are a horses with big hearts
Even tho Slovenia is small, it has so many beautiful creatures. Lipizzans on example. Im glad I live in Slovenia
We enjoyed our time there so much, I look forward to going back. Beautiful country, lovely people!
Wow this has been my dream since I was 8 or 9 and first Came across them in my books. Thanks for sharing.
I think a lot of girls had that same dream. I was very lucky to have this experience.

Thanks for your input. I got all my information from Lipica and the people who run it. Sounds like these horses are part of your life..
ik ben hier geweest en was super zie mijn filmpje!!
Those are my favorites too! And i can't stop dreaming about meeting them, but i don't really think that my dream will ever come true, but i will always keep hoping for the best :') !
I've had many dreams about them, too (and that day my dream came true). Glad you enjoyed it. Will check out the music on your site.
Thanks so much!
For the moment, you can live vicariously through me!
Happy riding!

My next dream is to ride one!

Hmmm is it just me, or do some of these horse's heads have a rollkurish look? Would hate to think rollkur has invaded their training.
It might just be natural carriage, my boys the same and no rollkur used.
So glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for the feedback.
yeah :D they are soo great :D belive me they are like angels, when I gallop with them I feel like I fly :D they aree reaaaaalllyy great horses
Flotus Melania Trump is from Slovenia.
Her birth town Novo Mesto is only 1½ hours away from Lipica.
🐎🙏🏻💕🇺🇸
I know! We were there two years ago - such a beautiful, unspoiled country (just like our First Lady)..
Those people work so hard to train their horses
I know - for years!
yes ^^ thanks
The goals are on the mares for a couple of years are u sure its usually 6 to 8 months for horses
I don't know that, I was just going on what they told me..
Thanks for your knowledge, didn't know that they are a mixture of arabians and andelusiars, kind regards.
I certainly learned a lot that wonderful day!
@@RobinBenzle My niece got a Lippizaner, she does do dressage with her horse called Busted, he only gets love, no beating with a whipe or anything else, she trully loves her Lippizaner, kind regards.
@@saskiavanhoutert3190 Lucky girl!
@@RobinBenzle I am not so lucky I am unemployed, but love my nieces and nephews. My niece Lotte has a Lippizaner, kind regards.
I have to say that watching the Royal Lipizzaners in Vienna and watch these in Slovenia there is a difference
+Denise Shephard I've heard that before..
RobinBenzle where have you heard of that before
+Denise Shephard A Lipizzaner rider told me that the Viennese ones were more exact in their movements and the Slovenian ones were more graceful.
@@RobinBenzle well no suprise there, austrians are work tools for them and we spoil ours and they feel like royalty so they act more graceful lol.
Would love to know the name of each horse, as i have 3 from Slovenia. I'd like to see their close relatives.
You know your stuff!
@eurodestination They have Lipizzaners for riding and you can take a carriage ride, too.
This is a guilty indulgence.. Hmm, gray hoses = mega loaded investment in Quick Silver. If you have grooming OCD, gray horses give you a life purpose, lol. Very beautiful, they are.
typo in 1st line, lol .. you all know I meant "gray horses" :-P
good luck ;)
@JacobiteOrange Very cool horse!
You and me both!
@touchstoneacres Check out their website - they have a page with the horses for sale and all their names..

how can i hire a dressage trainer from Slovenia ?

Branded on their cheeks?!!!!
Most stud horses are branded in Europe. In the US they tattoo a number on the inside of the upper lip, much more painful
Sorry ...all horses and ponies if they are if sound body, can reproduce all of those movements!
I would LOVE to own one of these horses! If that was at all possible :)
SenyaSaysSo sorry they are protected so no one can have this horses only sloven sorry about that but other nations stolen to much of our things and called theirs so we protected the horse
they were on hay, not straw - note they are eating it.
It’s a mixture of hay & straw
Babies? I did not see any babies! Only foals... :-)
Not pleasantt o see the reins so tight in the final exercises...
I keep wondering why horses are often considered a 'girly' interest in American, when that is not the case elsewhere in the world. Even in the USA, many excellent horsemen (humans skilled with horses) are men!
Jefferdaughter That is very true, but I think boys take an interest when they're older. Every little girl wants a pony for Christmas..
It's not the spanish school of Vienna !!!!!!!!!!!
I ride Lipizzanar horses.But not in Lipica
Ana T You are lucky!
okay im sorry thank you for letting me kno the difference
What awfull ridden ??
Thank you 🙏🙋♀️🤗🇸🇪💖
