Slovenia In Your Pocket - Lipica

slovenia.inyourpocket.com In Your Pocket’s Tanja Trobec tours Lipica stud farm, home of the Lipicanci (Lipizzaner) horses. The breeding and selection of thoroughbred horses has traditionally been practiced here for more than 400 years. The 20th century saw the establishment of a classical riding school at Lipica, resulting in successful performances at international equestrian events, with the horses of course. Today, Lipica is something of a paradox; surrounded by unspoilt countryside yet boasting excellent facilities for guests two hotels (Maestoso and Klub), golf course, tennis courts, mini golf, saunas, swimming pool, gym and even a casino. Lets hope the latter is a safe distance from the white beauties in their historic stables. Inevitably, riding lessons on Lipizzaners and horse-drawn carriage rides around Lipica park are immensely popular, as are the classical riding performances (complete with dancing horses), great!
