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".
