About the Performances
The Matinee and Evening Performances have been largely unchanged in their essence since we started putting on public performances nearly 35 years ago. Our performances follow the development of a Lipizzan horse and are much like the performances that are put on at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. Tempel News
It is our ultimate goal to promote classical riding and the Lipizzan horse in the United States. From time to time the horses are featured on the news, in print, and even on the radio! Check out all of our news worthy appearances. |
