Slovenia In Your Pocket - Lipica

http://slovenia.inyourpocket.com
In Your Pocket's Tanja Trobec tours Lipica stud farm, home of the Lipicanci (Lipizzaner) horses. The breeding and selection of thoroughbred horses has traditionally been practiced here for more than 400 years. The 20th century saw the establishment of a classical riding school at Lipica, resulting in successful performances at international equestrian events, with the horses of course.
Today, Lipica is something of a paradox; surrounded by unspoilt countryside yet boasting excellent facilities for guests: two hotels (Maestoso and Klub), golf course, tennis courts, mini golf, saunas, swimming pool, gym and even a casino. Lets hope the latter is a safe distance from the white beauties in their historic stables. Inevitably, riding lessons on Lipizzaners and horse-drawn carriage rides around Lipica park are immensely popular, as are the classical riding performances (complete with dancing horses), great!

[Lipicanci]

@VendPrekmurec: thank you for your kind explanation, however you told me nothing I don't already know. And some of the stuff commonly known that you say is not true or at least not prooven. The Karst (and not Karantanian) horses used in Lipizzaner breeding are a myth.

Pretty similar opinion I holf for your explanation of the origin of the name Österreich, but there I'm no expert, while about Lipica and Lipizzaners I for sure know what I'm talking about.

And, this video above is of low quality.

@Lipicanci they cross breed Karantanian native white horse with Andalusian and Iberian horse...

This video tell basically nothing of lipica and the narrator's english sucks. I'm sorry, but this video is of extremely low promotional quality!
