Today’s video is an amazing look at the beautiful Lipizzan horse, a breed that has survived against almost all odds & perhaps the foundation for the unicorn myth itself.
A Noble Beast
The video features Lipizzan stallion KL-Siglavy Rigoletta and utilizes specialized lighting & filming equipment for the sole purpose of capturing muscle movement and the deep contrast of white hide against dark arena. The result is rather magical and goes a long way to preserving the mystery of this beautiful breed. Enjoy!

Breeds, Breeds
There is such a long list of horse breeds that it’s impossible to choose just one as a favorite. However I think the Lipizzaner has to be in my top 10, simply for the toll WWII took on their kind and the fact they bounced back.
