pesu - Feb, 26 2009 10:02am Tony, do they a show there like in Vienna? porto - Feb, 26 2009 11:02am I like this Tony,are these two horses camera shy or just bowing? pesu - Feb, 26 2009 12:02pm No, Fred, not the horses are camera shy... ;-) jacko1 - Feb, 26 2009 03:02pm Petra, all the horses that are shown at the Spanish riding School are bred at the Lipice Stud, their initial training is here and then they go to riding schools all over the world, the only true blood line is at Lipice. They are treated like royalty, the grooms sing to their charges, a day at Lipice will never be forgotten. I have more pics. jacko1 - Feb, 26 2009 03:02pm No Fred, bowing in honour of a cockney cameraman!. porto - Feb, 26 2009 04:02pm Good reply!.......... jacko1 - Feb, 26 2009 05:02pm Thank you for the recognition Fred, coming from a Scotsman I feel honoured!. aufgehts - Feb, 26 2009 09:02pm I was lucky enough to see them in practice in Vienna..thanks for bringing back nice memories. jacko1 - Feb, 27 2009 08:02am In Lipice Stud it is possible to visit all the stables and the paddocks and they also present a full show in the arena most days, it is not expensive! unless of course you live in theUSA. By the way the foals are all born brown and turn white at about 1 year. pesu - Feb, 27 2009 08:02am Think Lipice is even more interesting than the show in Vienna. jacko1 - Feb, 27 2009 08:02am I uploaded a previous picture of a groom in the stables, when the mares and foals are in th paddock the mares bring their babies to the fence to be stroked and admired by the visitors, Magical!
