Royal Lipizzaner Stallions of Austria and The Amish in Florida

Timber's Exclusive- Royal Lipizzaner Stallions of Austria
Payment is required with Reservations-
Description from the book One Tank Trips with Bill Murphy-
You can see these magnificent horses in training for only the first few months of the year. And while it may look like a real performance part of the training of the young stallions is to get comfortable in front of an audience. It all takes place under the close direction of Colonel Ottomar Hermann, whose family has trained the Lippizans for more than 300 years,
This is a rare opportunity to see the Magnificent Royal Lippizans up close. The Stahlians were saved from almost certain extinction at the end of World War II. Colonel Herman and his father smuggled their horses out of Europe under the protection of General George S Patton. Decades later these “original” Lipizzans are here for all to behold. It takes nine years for horses to learn “the capriole,” the move for which they are best known. Leaping on all four feet, they strike out with the hind legs. Once a battle maneuver of their ancestors, it is now part of this remarkable equine ballet.
