Andreas asked me to post a picture of our 4 years old mare ( Maestoso Toscana-94 x KL-Rigoletta). Maybe you will meet her soon in Vienna, Andreas. I hope so!
As a foal, Rosana won her category during the international Lipizzaner horse championship in Herxheim, Germany (2005). At the end, she was rewarded as the best privately bred Lipizzaner of the show.
Unless I am mistaken, "The Rape of the Sabine Women" by Rubens has only a brown horse, the body of which is mostly obscured by the rider's abduction of a woman. Poussin's depiction of the same event, "The Abduction of the Sabine Women," contains a robust white horse.
But I would not use this example you suggest, nor would I suggest to insult his profession as it is not in my nature to do so. I also think this discussion detracts from the real subject of this post, the lovely KL-Rosana, and consider the matter closed.
Wow! She's very pretty!
AntwortenLöschenlovely mare but maybe a shade overweight!
AntwortenLöschenI hope so too! She's not overweight at all, a Lipizzaner should be like that :-)
AntwortenLöschenThat is beautiful mare! WOW !!!
AntwortenLöschenWow ! I like that type mare. She is really beautiful !!!
AntwortenLöschenIlona ~ She's simply lovely! How tall is she at 4?
AntwortenLöschenAndreas ~ There are few other Lipizzans where I live and my vet is always telling me that my two horses are fat. :-(
Thanks for sharing these photos. Always love to see more Lipizzaners! My favorite! :-)

hi emily, she is 157,5 cm now (i guess this is 5 foot 2 inches, no?)
AntwortenLöschenThank you, Ilona. (I think she would be closer to 5' 3" ..? Wouldn't it be nice if we all measured the same!)
