Today we traveled to a farm of some of the famous Lippanzaner horses outside of Budapest.
There were demonstrations of riding, horsemanship (can you ride a stallion at full speed without spilling the full beer stein in your hand?), and theater ( lots of whip cracking).
I have seen them in shows and they were all white. I understand when young they are dark. Loved seeing them jump while on their hind legs performing the airs above the ground.
A stallion at full gallop without spilling the beer? I don't think I could. Gold stars to those who can :) Interesting the things horses can be trained to do.

Beautiful creatures! Thanks for the lesson. :-)
ReplyDeleteCool! I always thought the Lippizaners were Austrian. Shows how much I know.
ReplyDeleteYou're probably still correct, Steve.
DeleteMaybe these just strayed over the border a tad.
