This is the story of the world-famous Lipizzaner stallions - from their origins in ancient times to the almost unknown drama of their rescue in 1945. The program begins at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, where the white stallions perform an impressive display of beauty and power that celebrates a perfect harmony between horse and rider, movements originally intended for use in war. The Lipizzaner stallion was bred for courage, strength and character, but the horse is also gentle, sensitive and responsive to praise.
