Description
The oldest human bred horse in the world, ancestors of the Lipizzaners, have been traced to Carthaginian and Roman horses at the time Julius Caesar was Emperor of Rome.
The Lipizzaner breed itself dates back to around 1562 when Archduke Maximilian started to breed Spanish horses in Lipica, a village in the modern day Slovenia. It was the need for military horses of unusual strength, loyalty and courage that inspired him to import Spanish, Italian and Arab-Oriental horses for his breeding programme. Out of this grew the famous white horse – the Lipizzaner – as we know it today.
Company description
THE HORSES
All 6 bloodlines are represented at the South African Lipizzaner Centre:
Favory, Conversano, Pluto, Maestoso, Siglavy and Neapolitano.
About our Black/Bay Lipizzaner Stallions:
Lipizzaner horses are born dark. They gradually become lighter with each change of coat as they grow older, until they are silvery white. Although originally the breed represented different colours, today the Lipizzaner is almost exclusively white. Only a tiny percentage still today remains bay or black.
Today the Lipizzaner Centre has two bay stallions to uphold the century old tradition of colour in a Lipizzaner. Both Siglavy Arva 1 and Conversano Arva will remain bay for the rest of their lives. In addition a colt born in 2006, Siglavy Odaliska, shows signs of remaining black. He would take up the place of Conversana Pablo, our last black Lipizzaner stallion at the Centre, who unfortunately died in 2005 at the age of 22.
Our “coloured” stallions always get trained to highest levels and form an integral part of the performance.
