The Lipizzaner Stallions have 400 years of European history, and were featured in the Walt Disney movie, "The Miracle of the White Stallions," depicting General George Patton's involvement in saving the breed.

The Lipizzaner is the aristocrat, the royalty, and the nimble dancer of the equestrian world. Its distant ancestors from the Orient bore Ghengis Khan from Asia to conquer much of the then-known world.

Also featured in the performances will be the Lipizzaner's forefathers -- the Spanish Andalusian and the Arabian.
