Re: [RC] [RC-Digest] Vol: 03.3206 Lipizzaners - Chipnml

That movie was called "The Miracle Of The White Horses."  I'm a little behind in reading my ridecamp digests, so I'm sure someone has already said this.
 
There is an excellent Lipizzan group here in the US--the Tempel Lipizzaners, based just north of Chicago.  I've seen them perform a couple times and also have been to their facility.  They are truly awesome...no comparison to the other US groups.  When they do a capriole, the horse is literally higher than a man.  Also, a bit of trivia, if you've seen the movie "Hair", the two mounted policemen at the beginning were riding Tempel Lipizzaners...the black one was named Maestoso Prima Donna.
