November, 2010 Breed/Herd Manager Jeff LaDue Returns to Tempel Lipizzans!

Former Breed/Herd Manager Jeff LaDue has resumed his prior position at Tempel Lipizzans! Owners and staff alike were immensely pleased to have Jeff return to his position.

Jeff has been diligently working with our young stock. The young mares have been visiting the Annex for evaluation. Some of these young ladies will be on our new "Sales List." The brood mares will be in excellent hands this Spring when we welcome 8 new foals!

Team driving is where Jeff excells. Next performance season will feature his return to driving a Lipizzan Team.
