Lipizzaner Stallions

The Lipizzaner is a breed of light horse named for the Austrian imperial stud at Lipizza, near Trieste, formerly part of Austria-Hungary. Lipizzaners are of comparatively small stature with a long back, a short, thick neck, and powerful conformation.

The head, with a Roman nose, lacks the refinement of most light breeds, but they have attractive, expressive eyes. The colour is usually gray; bay and brown occur rarely. The best known are those trained at Vienna's Spanish Riding School.
