Lipizzan


 

The Lipizzan horses, or Lipizzaner, are very closely associated with what is called the Spanish Riding School, which is the oldest riding academy in the world. It dates back to at least as early as 1565, during the Habsburg monarchy. The horses take their name from the fact that the stud farm where they are bred is located in a Kras village Lipica (Italian: Lipizza), near Trieste in nowadays Slovenia.
