The Lipizzan horse breed is known as one of the oldest horse breed and it origins from the area of today’s Slovenia. The Lipizzan was bred by the Habsburg Monarchy. They were originally used as noble and elegant horses to highlight ceremonial duties. The Imperial ‘Hofreitschule’ in Vienna became known as the Spanish Riding School. They are horses of royal beauty and elegance, sometimes reffered to the “Pegasus” without wings. Furthermore, they are easy to spot, thanks to their grey colour (even if they look white, they are classified as “grey” because of their black skin), narrow head with a slightly convex profile and large, expressive eyes and swan like neck.
