Austin, TX –The 34th Anniversary tour of The “World Famous” Lipizzaner Stallions includes many of the traditional movements and exercises presented at the world renowned Spanish Riding School of Vienna.

Many of the horses and riders who appear in this special 34th Anniversary edition were handpicked by producer Gary Lashinsky to perform in this unique family oriented arena attraction. Over the years, 23 million people throughout North and South America, Great Britain, Europe, Australia and Hawaii have seen this internationally acclaimed spectacle.

Included in the performance is a segment called the "Airs Above The Ground." These are the spectacular leaps and maneuvers, once used by riders in saddle to protect and defend themselves on the battlefield, which are now preserved as an equestrian work of art. When you see the Lipizzans perform, it is like stepping back 425 years and viewing one of the greatest equine ballets in history.

The Lipizzan is a rare and unique breed; its history and culture is known worldwide. The Walt Disney movie The Miracle of the White Stallions, depicting General George S. Patton saving them at the end of World War II from certain extinction, created an even greater world-wide interest in the Lipizzan breed. Had it not been for Patton, there would be no Lipizzans today.

Harkening back to the time when the horse was a symbol of grace and majesty, the Lipizzaner Stallions are truly a great experience to be enjoyed by the entire family. One does not need to be a horse lover to enjoy the "The Dancing White Stallions"!
