HOW A LIPIZZAN STALLION LEARNS TO DANCE!
Join us for a rare opportunity to see Lipizzan horses learning their dance moves in a serene country setting. You'll sit socially distanced, 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. Less than an hour drive from downtown, Tempel Lipizzans is a European cultural gem right in your backyard. Every session will be different.

Visitors get access to the daily routines of our equine athletes that are in active year round training with a tour guide. The tour begins in our stallions stables where individual care of the horse is a high priority. There are opportunities to pet some noses as you learn about the history and care of these rare stallions. Tour content may be guided by the interests/age of the group.
|
A good portion of the tour takes place in our indoor arena where guests have an opportunity to watch the horses in their regular training program. Dressage training is often likened to ballet in which the dancers developing musculature is key to the development of advanced skills. The horse trainers welcome questions as they enter and exit the arena.
