  Horse Breeds - Lipizzan
The Lipizzan trace their history back to the early 1560's when the finest Arab blood was introduced and fused with the local athletic Spanish horses. Maximillian II brought the Spanish horses to Austria about 1562 and founded the court stud at Kladrub. His brother established a similar stud with Spanish stock in 1580 at Lipizza near the Adriatic Sea.
