Etymology

Lippizaner comes from the place Lipica (Italian Lipizza) and literally means 'from Lipica'. This is a helpful memory: the name points to the famous stud farm where the breed was first created, so a Lippizaner is a special, carefully bred horse known for its strong, compact body, calm nature, and skill in classical dressage.
