Back in the days of sword-and-armor battle, horses were used as partners and soldiers in arms. One of the highest esteemed of the war horse breeds was the Lipizzan, used in 16th century Austrian forces. The breed was tailor made to have a born-in desire and athleticism to jump, leap, and kick their way through enemy lines. Thanks to the famed rescue by General Patton during World War II, these horses still exist today. Thanks to the Herrmann Family, these horses are in the United States and perform the same maneuvers that were used in battle and are displayed to this day in Vienna, Austria.
The Herrmann family Lipizzans date back 300 years to a horse that was gifted to an ancestor by Ferdinand II for use in battle. In the early 1960s, the family brought their horses to the United States and have been touring and performing ever since. Their beautiful stallions perform routines to music, as well as the famed and popular ‘Airs Above the Ground’ battle maneuvers.

Take advantage of the chance to witness this living piece of history in person, without the cost of travelling to Vienna. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled when they roll into town, as their barn areas are open during regular business hours for public viewing free of charge. Come and meet the horses that are referred to as “the art of the horse world, a symphony in white”, then return for a show to watch them perform their magic!
