Slovenia’s Lipizzaner Stallions

October 6, 2009

In his last post from Slovenia, Traveler photographer Bob Krist mentioned visiting the Lipica Stud Farm, the

original home of the famous white Lipizzaner stallions. Today, he sends us a more detailed glimpse inside the riding school. These horses “embody elements of the Slovenian culture,” says narrator Michael Benz of the Slovenian Tourist Board. They represent “craftsmanship, dedication to tradition, and the love of synergy with nature.”
