In 1581, 24 brood mares and 6 stallions were brought in from Spain to form the foundation of the stud - and thus giving the name “Spanish Riding School”. In the centuries to follow, under patronage of the Hapsburg Emperors, the stud farm in Lipica was renowned throughout Europe for the grace and beauty of the white stallions, which performed movements that are still today the basis of international dressage events. It was the Emperor Charles VI of Hapsburg who ordered the erection of a grand salon in the Hofburg in Vienna, so the white stallions had a place to perform before royalty and invited guests. In the early 19th century , when Napoleon we conquering most of the region of what is now Italy, Austria and Slovenia, the stallions and mares were moved to Hungary in an effort to protect the breed. As political turmoil and wars encompassed Europe, the breed was further split with mares and stallions being sent to Austria, Italy, Germany, Denmark and the Czech Republic. Following the end of World War, the horses were brought back to Austria and the Federal Lipizzaner stud in the village of Piber in southern Austria, with only 11 going back to the original founding stud in Lipica. Today the beautiful white stallions of the Spanish Riding School perform in Vienna, as well as around the world.
