Horse Power<\/h1>\n

9. – 10.5.13<\/p>\n

\"PageLines-<\/a>\"PageLines-<\/a>For once this note is dedicated to one topic. So everybody who is not that much into horses shouldn\u2019t continue\u2026.<\/p>\n

Leaving Triest behind us, we did a little side step to Slovenia to visit the famous Lipizzana stud farm. Our hotel is located directly at the farm so we had time to watch these beautiful horses.<\/p>\n

Tina the PR officer of the stud, which is owned by the government, has spent a lot of time with us explaining everything.<\/p>\n

We started our tour in the morning when the mares get out of the stables to the meadows. It\u2019s just fantastic watching 40-50 horses gallopping through the alley, they are really elegant.<\/p>\n

\"PageLines-<\/a>\"PageLines-<\/a>A separate group are the mares with foals; they have a separate range. The little ones \u2013 at the beginning they are black\/dark brown \u2013 are just cute. It was their first time outside, so they still were a bit shy, but when they detected the wonderful world there, they started jumping and running around. From time to time coming back to their mothers to get a little milk-snack J<\/p>\n

One could watch for hours.<\/p>\n

We also visited the training of the stallions, which are educated in the classical equitation in the Renaissance tradition of the haute \u00e9cole. This is hard work to achieve a level we have seen in the afternoon public performance.<\/p>\n

As this is just an effort to keep an old tradition alive, there is no commercial goal behind it. The stud farm in Lipica is only obliged to keep 4 stallion and 6 mare lines alive to be able to continue the breeding.<\/p>\n

A cultural heritage the Sloveniens are proud of!<\/p>\n
