A pretty colt saw the light of day on January 21st at the Lipizzaner stud in Piber. The baroque pedigree horse is the first offspring this year.
Well, if you have to listen to the noble name “Neapolitano Presciana”, you probably still have a lot to do in your life. We are talking about the first offspring in the new year at the Piber Lipizzaner stud. The pretty colt of the baroque breed is cause for joy, because as a descendant of the school stallion “Neapolitano Sessana” it has the best qualifications to follow the father to the Spanish riding school in Vienna.
Like the colt, Lipizzaners are usually born black, but also brown or mouse-gray and do not get their typical mold color until around four to ten years old. The foals spend the first six months at the side of their mothers in the “nursery” in the Lipizzaner stud Piber in western Styria. Around 40 foals of the oldest cultural horse breed in Europe are born there every year, where only the best stallions are selected and trained for the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.
Visits to the Piber stud are currently not (yet) possible due to the Covid-19 measures, but you can also sponsor the noble horses and thus develop a special relationship with the Lipizzaner.
