Quick history lesson

One of the oldest breeds in Europe, the Lipizzaner horse began in 1580 when the Archduke Charles of the Austro-Hungrian Empire built a stud farm at Lipizza, hence the name. In what is now modern day Slovenia, they used Spanish horses and the local Karst horses to develop the Lipizzan breed through the 17th and 18th centuries. As you can see in Lipizzaners canvas prints, the most well-known feature of this breed is its iconic white coat, which was chosen because it was thought to best represent the imperial house. Another well-known feature of the Lipizzan which many might not notice at first is its Roman nose. The result of this extensive and careful breeding was a horse that was not only beautiful to look at, but strong and athletic as well. Our Lipizzaners canvas prints are great evidence of that process being a massive success.
