The Lipizzan or Lipizzaner is a horse breed named for the Lipizza Stud of the Habsburg monarchy. Generally gray in color, the Lipizzan is a breed of Baroque type that is powerful, matures slowly, and noted for longevity. The breed is closely associated with the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria, where the horses demonstrate the movements of classical dressage, including the highly controlled, stylized jumps and other movements known as the "airs above the ground". The horses at the Spanish Riding School are trained using traditional methods that date back hundreds of years. In Lipizzans, foals are usually bay or blackāand become lighter each year as the graying process takes place, with the process being complete between 6 and 10 years of age. Lipizzans are not actually true white horses, but this is a common misconception. A white horse is born white and has unpigmented skin, while Lipizzans have black skin and dark eyes under their light coat. .
