A Lipizzan stallion is observing me and my camera. The Lipizzan is one of the most famous horse breeds in the world. It had its genetic origins in Spain from stock that included Spanish and Moroccan Barb blood. The Lipizzan has been selected as the national animal of Slovenia and can be found on coins from that country. The Lipizzan is a compact and powerful horse standing 15.1-15.2 hands (56-60″) at the withers and 1,000-1,300 lbs. The head is long with a flat or convex profile, and the neck is muscular and well arched. The chest is deep and wide, with powerful and sloping shoulders. Although sometimes referred to as “white” horses, they are actually gray, with the dark eyes and skin of gray horses.

The extremely neat tack room at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria. Dozens of saddles and bridles hang well sorted and neatly cleaned. Each Lipizzaner horse has two saddles: a training saddle and one saddle, which is ridden only during performances. It is a custom baroque saddle with a deep seat, specially adapted to the rider and horse. In addition, each Lipizzaner horse has three bridles. The bridles used during the performance hang well protected in glass boxes. Only stallions are ridden at the Spanish Riding School.

Vor 80 Jahren: Als die Cowboys die Lipizzaner retteten In einer spektakulären Aktion rettete vor 80 Jahren die Dritte Armee von US-General Patton die Lipizzaner der Spanischen Hofreitschule.

Vor 80 Jahren hat die dritte Armee unter #Patton die #Lipizzaner gerettet. Das „Ballett der Weißen Hengste” ist ein österreichisches Kulturgut, das sich bis ins 16. Jahrhundert zurückverfolgen lässt.
Das ist die Geschichte der "Operation Cowboy".

I’m quite excited how pretty these turned out!
