White Beauty - A Stallion's Life

52' (ENG, GER)

The Lipizzaner are famous around the world. A stunning documentary about the history of the oldest horse breed.

At the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, the white stallions perform a breathtaking display of beauty and power that celebrates a perfect harmony between horse and rider. These carefully choreographed and synchronized movements were originally intended for war. Then, only the strongest and most athletic of the horses were chosen.

The Lipizzaner stallion was bred for his courage, his strength and his character. Yet, he is at heart gentle and sensitive, responsive to praise, but rebellious to the use of force against him. The performance of the white stallions is the demonstration of a unique relationship between horse and rider, each reliant upon the other.

Also available as ‘Legendary White Stallions’ (53’), particularly highlighting the history of the Lipizzaners’ breed from the deserts of Morocco to the pastures around the Piber Federal Stud in western Styria, until their time in the famous Spanish Riding School in Vienna.
