Lipizzaner

White dressage breed

Lipizzaner is a breed of horse known for its compact, muscular build and predominantly white or gray coat, though foals are born dark and lighten with age.

The breed originated at the Lipizza stud farm in present-day Slovenia during the 16th century and became famous through the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, where Lipizzaners perform classical dressage movements including the dramatic "airs above the ground." The Lipizzaners executed flawless caprioles during the exhibition.
