  • Arts and Entertainment The Western Carolinian 6 Thursday, November 20, 1986 The Saga of the Lipizzan The Lipizzan stallions have galloped boldly out of the pages of four hundred years of European history, into the hearts of millions of Americans. Walt Disney's motion picture, The Miracle of the White Stallions, depicting the rescue of the horses from Czechoslovakia by Gen. Patton's men during World War II, and their return to Austria, did much to publicize and create sympathy and admiration for the Lipizzaners in the United States. The Lipizzan is the aristocrat, the royalty and the light and nimble dancer and aerialist of the equestrian world. His distant ancestors from the Orient bore Ghengis Khan out of the wastes of Asia to conquer much of the then known world. The fleet Arabic strain in the Lipizzaners patrolled, guarded and raided teasure-laden caravans in the golden sands of the Sahara. Their masters were Bedouins, Tuaregs and riders from a dozen long forgotten tribes. It is believed that the forerunner of the actual Lipizzan was bred in Carthage, more than two thousand years ago. The Cartaginian stock was bred to the Vilano, a sturdy Pyrenees horse, and with Arab and Barbary strains. The result became the fabled horse of ancient Spain. During Spain's seven hundred years of Moorish domination, the breed remained essentially the same. Occasional crossing with fresh Arab and Oriental blood by the breeders of Cordoba and Granada assured that the fleetness and agility so prized by the Arabs remained qualities inherent in the stock. The Spanish began to export the horses after Spain rid itself of Moorish rule. The most notable stud farms were established in Italy and Frederiksborg, Denmark. The Danes produced excellent stock from the Spanish progenitors and the Italian "Neapolitan" blood line became famous in Europe.

Eighteen years later, Archduke Karl, ruler of four Austrian provinces, established a royal stud farm in Lipizza, in the hills of Karst, near Trieste. It was rugged, craggy country with little vegetation or water, but the Lipizzans thrived on it. They became famous for their endurance, strength and speed. They became almost exclusively the property of the nobility and the military aristocracy. The stallions were trained for battle. Theirgreat leaps and caprioles struck fear into the hearts of foot soldiers whoopposed their well born riders. The gentle, intelligent white mares became the coach horses of the elite. Fresh Spanish stock was systematically added to the blood line at intervals to maintain the strength of the breed. Oriental stallions were used occasionally for the same purpose. In the 17th and 18th Century, horses from the Northern Italian stud farm at Polesina and the highly regarded Neapolitan strain were brought to Lipizza to be mingled with the resident stock and the descendent of the original Spanish line out of Denmark and Germany. Gen. Patton was not the first to rescue the Lipizzaners from the exigencies of the war. In 1781, during the Napoleonic Wars, three hundred of the horses were evacuated in a forty-day march to Stuhlweissenburg. They were returned to Lipizza after the peace was signed. In 1805 they were again moved, to Slavonia and in 1806 to Karad, a Hungarian village with a population of less than four thousand. They returned to Lipizza but soon had to flee the advancing armies of France. From 1809 to 1815, they lived in the lowlands of the Tisza River, a Week at a Glance Music-English Building 2:00 p.m. Billiards Tournament Grandroom U.C. 7:00 p.m. Theatre: "The Foreigner" Niggli Theatre 7:30 p.m. Friday-Nov. 21 Jazz Ensemble Concert Recital Hall tributary of the Danube. The environment was hard on them. It took several years and an infusion of fresh blood to recapture the vitality and high standard of the line. Once again, in May of 1915, the Lipizzans were taken from their home turf. One group was taken to Laxenburg, near Vienna, and the other to Kladrub. The fall of the Austrian House of Hapsburg, in 1918, brought about the breakup of the old Austrian Empire. Lipizza became a part of Italy. The Italian and Austrian governments divided the lipizzan herd. Each took half. The Republic of Austria took their horses to Piber, in Steiermark. Piber, a privately owned stud farm, was founded in 1798 to breed calvary mount for the army. In 1858, it became a government breeding farm and supplied Lipizzans of another and lighter strain for stud purposes in the provinces. Although The Royal Lipizzan Stallion Show is not affiliated with The Spanish Riding School, a number of the horses appearing in the show were born at Piber Stud Farm. The Lipizzaner is a long-lived horse. Thirty to thirty-five years is their average life span. They are usually born black and change slowly through a period of six to ten years to their final, pure white color. Occasionally a Lipizzan colt is born pure white, but they are rarities. Those so born in the days of the Hapsburgs were chosen to draw the royal equipages. There are six significant blood lines in today's Lipizzaner breed. They originated with and the date back to following stallions: The Dane, "Pluto," 1765; the Neapolitan, "Conversano," 1767; "Maestosa," 1773; "Favory," 1779; "Neapolitano," 1790; and the Arab, "Siglavy," from the stables of Prince Schwarzenberg, 1810.
