After 65 years, this cultural legacy remains family-owned and committed to sharing the beauty of horsemanship with all that visit the farm.

Less than an hour drive from both Chicago and Milwaukee, Tempel Lipizzans is a European gem right in your backyard.

    Honoring veterans with special recognition during performance segment and discounted tickets. 
  • July 15:
    PLUS Day of the Horse ​
Designed for those who want to know more…
Our equine dancers may be born with the genetic material to perform their graceful moves, but it takes the intersection of a thoughtful rider and a willing horse to create the great expression of harmony through movement for which the Lipizzan horse is known.
Join us for a rare opportunity to see Lipizzan horses learning their dance moves in a serene country setting. You'll sit ringside at our outdoor arena while professional trainers and the most highly trained stallions go through the process of dance or “dressage” training. We will demystify how these gorgeous horses learn to do what they are best known for as you hear the sound of their hooves and breathing as they pass within feet of your seat. 
All segments are moderated live by our Program Director.

The Tempel Lipizzans

History, Art, Music in Motion

The mission of the Tempel Lipizzans is today as it has been since 1958; to promote classical dressage and the Lipizzan breed in the United States through a careful breeding and training program. Our on site public exhibitions and behind-the-scenes tours serve to educate on the history of this classical art through the beauty of synchronized movements, the harmony of partnership between horse and rider and the impressive athleticism and training of the airs above the ground, or haute école movements. The Lipizzan breed is now considered an endangered domestic animal with numbers of less than 12,000 worldwide. 

Located in Old Mill Creek, (Northern Illinois, just an hour from Chicago or Milwaukee, Wi) on the property of Tempel Farms, Tempel Lipizzans is a full time dressage training facility in which experienced trainers adhere to the standards of training established hundreds of years ago in the classical schools of Europe. As of 2015, the Spanish Riding School in Vienna Austria, after which our American program was modeled, has 450 years of elevating classical equitation and has been added to the list of UNESCO's "intangible cultural heritage of humanity." The foundation of the Tempel Lipizzans breeding program was directly from Piber, the stud farm of the Spanish Riding School. 

​In 1993, owners Linda Smith Buonanno and Martha Smith Simpson, received the Officer's Cross, Grand Decoration of Honor for Service to the Republic of Austria, for their "careful management of a cultural institution with such close ties to Austria".
