One of Europe’s oldest horse breeds, the Lipizzan originated in the 1500s during the time of the Austrian Empire. The breed gets its name from Lipizza (Lipica), Slovenia - the location of one of the first established stud farms. Today, the breed is highly sought after for their natural talent in performing classical dressage.
Tempel Lipizzans of Illinois, was founded in 1958 to promote this incredible breed and promote classical dressage, and is the largest privately-owned herd in the world! Through their breeding and training program, they combine some of the oldest Lipizzan bloodlines with the same classical traditions and principles as the Spanish Riding School. Each summer, they offer public exhibitions which showcase the Lipizzan and the progression of classical dressage training.
