Schleich Lipizzaner Stallion

A detailed hand painted horse, blowing and prancing. Did you know: Lipizzaner stallions are highly spirited animals. That's why only stallions are trained in the Spanish Riding School's dressage movements. When stallions perform difficult "airs" like the capriole or the crowd-pleasing levade (standing upright on the hind legs), it looks far more fiery and dynamic than when mares or geldings do them. A Lipizzaner stallion's training at the Spanish Riding School lasts several years.
