Lipizzaner


The Lipizzaner is a spanish breed, it is one of the most impressive breeds of horse. These fine horses were bred at a stud in Lipica in Slovenia over 400 years ago. They grow up to around 15.1-16.2hh. They are usually grey but can be bay as well. This breed was started with just six spanish stallions that were mated with 24 mares. All of todays Lipizzaners are related to these six stallions.
