The Lipazanner Stallions

I went to see the Lipazanner Stallions tonight. I had seen them before, but I was still impressed. They are stunning animals!

Sorry for so many. Hope you enjoyed.

Nice pictures! :D I saw them a few years ago in Florida. Their amazing horses, I loved it. I wish I could see them again though, since that was yrs ago when I was way younger and I didn't care as much as I would now. :p

Great Pics!! Awsome!!! I Love Lipizanners!! Such amazing Horses!!:D

Beautiful pictures, thank you for posting all of them. I enjoyed them all :)

I love Lipizzaner and Andalusian horses! :D
I saw the Lipizzaners here in Vermont a few summers ago.
I just love when they get totally airborne.
You got some great photos of them, thanks for posting them. :)

Thank you so much for posting.
I have always wanted to see the Lipazzane's and never have,
so your pictures were very much enjoyed. :D

:eek: Wow he can really stay on!!
I'd love to go to one of those shows.

Absolutely stunning! Thanks so much for sharing. I saw them once when I was a little girl but I can't remember them :( And I had forgotten this but do you know their winter home is here in Florida? One of my coworkers went a few years ago. I really need to go. I'll have to see how far they are from me. When I do go, you can bet that I'll take tons of pics.

Wow, I've always wondered how long it takes to learn to sit to a capriole/croupade (sp?), looks like this rider can still do it even when he loses his stirrup!

Thanks for sharing these great pics.

Gorgeous photos, thanks for taking the time to post them for us! I've not seen these horses, yet. They were here about 2 months bakc, and Ijsut couldn't get to the show. Beautiful!

OMG, just stunning! Anyone else ever read Magrite Henry books? She had one about Lippizans and the training at the Vienna Academy, and I recall studying the illustrations for this move - (a capriole?)
I remember seeing them live years and years ago when I was young. One big change I notice is that now there are several women riders,too. When I saw them, they were all ridden by men. I think you took alot of very nice photos considering how fast they move!

Me and my friend were talking about that too....this ride had a lot of female riders...probably half or a little more than half were female.

I haven't seen or heard of these in years! I've always loved them! Sure wish I could see them in person some day too! Gorgeous! Thank you for sharing these with us!
