In which European city is the famous 'Spanish Riding School' located?

Player #3366575, they were saved at the end of WWll by General Patton’s troops, and brought out of Czechoslovakia before they could be trapped behind the Iron Curtain. A very dangerous and nifty move on his part. Which he didn’t ask permission to do. But since it turned out so well, he wasn’t in any hot water over it. Maybe a few raised eyebrows.

seen them both in Vienna and at their stud in Piber.... clever strong and beautiful

I used to ride a Lippizaner, such a clever, gentle, beautiful horse.

Nearlyfit, I saw them in person they came to Portland Oregon when I was a girl

Player #2939617, Saw them in Vegas when I was 8 or 9. They're magical!

They are so lovely and graceful, almost seeming to float.

Player #2939617, I saw them in Texas, nearly all riders were women. I have ridden all my life and the connection between horse and rider was almost completely seamless. The special moves the horses perform were used in battle. The foals are born almost black and they grey out by the time of four, five years.

this breed if horse originated in Slovenia as Lipice but was changed to Lipizzaner when horses were brought to Austria.

I saw them perform when I was a little girl

Lippizaner stallions are actually from Lipice, Slovenia. the name was changed when they were taken to a German speaking country.

I saw them in Indianapolis, Indiana-amazingly beautiful and entertaining. I took my mother & she loved it.

Tricky question. Named not for location or founders but for the horses that were bred for Lipizzan lineage.

JezzerLX, how did Spanish riding come to be in Austria?
