Carriage Tradition
Since the breed’s origin, the Lipizzan has been used for driving.

Young Stallions
These horses are in the earliest stages of development. Watch the expression and power of these young students as they make their way around the arena.

Work on the Long Rein
Only a highly trained horse and experienced trainer are able to demonstrate this partnership. The subtly of communication between horse and rider and elegance of horse movement is what makes this segment a true art. |
All Steps & Movements of the Classical School
This segment is a tribute to the Olympic Sport of dressage; this is a demonstration of high level competitive dressage choreographed in a musical freestyle. Look for harmony, artistry and a high degree of difficulty. |
Work in Hand and Airs Above the Ground
The trainer leads the horse by a short rein while calling for specific movements. These movements require great strength and intelligence to demonstrate. The Airs Above the Ground were developed from their form as medieval battle techniques.
