Lipizzaner stallions are highly spirited animals. ThatÕs why only stallions are trained in the Spanish Riding SchoolÕs dressage movements. When stallions perform difficult ÒairsÓ like the capriole or the crowd-pleasing levade (standing upright on the hind legs), it looks far more fiery and dynamic than when mares or geldings do them. Fun fact-A Lipizzaner stallionÕs training at the Spanish Riding School lasts several years.
