racy // The cradle of the white horses

Lipica is the home of the Lipizzaner and the largest Lipizzaner stud farm in the world. 
 

The Lipizzaner is one of the oldest cultural horse breeds. You can learn about the rich tradition and history of the stud farm, which was officially founded in 1580, during a guided tour or an independent visit. Find out everything you want to know about Lipizzaner horses. The morning departure of the mares with their dark foals to the pastures and the evening return of the herd to the heart of the stud are particularly impressive. The Lipizzaner, one of the oldest cultural horse breeds in Europe and the world, has been evolving since the Lipica Stud Farm was founded in 1580.

Today we know the Lipizzaner mainly as a white horse. However, the horses we call white horses are mostly gray. Lipizzaners are born dark. Due to the mutated gene, however, they soon turn gray. Lipizzaners are special horses. They have exceptional strength and beauty and are elegant and adaptable at the same time.
