  1. The foto marked "preparing for the Olympics" was labeled that way when I got it. Don't really know why.

  2. I think the first two photos (Ernst Lindenbauer, and Wenzel Zrust with EL) were taken in Olympia in London during an SRS tour to England in the 1920s or 30s. So perhaps the caption for the third photo (of Johann Neumayr? in levade - or courbette? should that near hind be leaving the ground!?) should read "Preparing for Olympia" and was mistranscribed by someone who didn't realize Olympia is a show venue in London! Are these from a US photo archive? That might explain the mistake - unless the SRS gave a display at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. I don't recall reading that anywhere , though of course Col. Podhajsky won his medal in Berlin. The third photo doesn't look to have been taken in Vienna - and the steel girder thingy in the background does suggest Olympia (very ugly, rather Crystal-Palace type building).

  3. so gefallen sie mir halt am besten, nicht im Viererzugmarathon......

    AntwortenLöschen
  4. I think you are right, it probably should be "Olympia". It looks like the stallion lost his balance in Levade, maybe. The angle of the horse does not look high enough for a Courbette.

  5. For sure a Rider (two strips at the Schabrack)

  8. One can't really tell, though I think it's a Levade. The rider tries to correct the Levade.

  10. Marcia sent me the last 5 foto's. This is what she said about them:


    >I have no information on these, except they were sent to me by a person in
    >Germany who was going to throw them away!

    >lip28, 30, 32 are just mare & foal cards. Might be Piber I don't know.

    >lip 29 & 31 are much more interesting. Both of these are contact prints.
    >They were made right from the negatives, Age? Hostau? The Lipizzaner side
    >view, everybody is smiling, must be a reason. The Lipizzaner front view,
    >there is a unseen man pointing to the rear leg.

    >Anybody want to comment on these wonderful old photos!

    >Happy Holidays!

  11. Paddocks in Piber

    The dark mares are warmbloods. Till around 1980 they brad also warmbloods beside Lipizzans in Piber. The warmbloods were old austrian breeds, for example Furioso, Nonius, Gidran and Przedswit.

  12. Don't the stallion look proud? I love the photo! Isn't the horse a beautiful creature?

    AntwortenLöschen

  13. Something about the horse is essential for the soul of humans.

    I love that in this foto, the stallions are so very intently watching what is going on.

    So much beauty, power and nobility in one spot.

  20. Foto's added for Marcia; Rider Lauscha on S. Morella and Podhajsky on C.Soja.

    Marcia's notes--
    "This is Rider Lauscha on Siglavy Morella. Note behind horse is James Franciscus and Lily Taylor. Photos were taken seconds apart, trying to catch the Courbette off the ground. Andreas, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the rider's position is perfect."

    "These postcards are Conversano Soja and Podhajsky. Note, "Chain of Pearls" Each horse should be right behind the next. The walking photo is a group of 4 and they would be "mirroring" the group at the other end. Can anybody ID the horse or rider behind Podhajsky? "

    AntwortenLöschen
  21. No, much later. The Disney-movie was released in 1963. So these pictures must have been earlier.
    Col.Podhajsky is riding 203 Conversano IV Soja here - he was born in 1952.

    AntwortenLöschen
  22. The postcards I am sharing are from the Movie and only the movie made in 1962/63. These postcards are identified by the uniforms and the banners along the wall. They used at least 2 performances and probably many short filming and cut work. 2 different stallions are ridden by Podhasjky. They are M. Alea I and S. Soja. As I keep sending postcard scans I will note the differences for everybody to see. As I stated, I believe some of the photos were taken behind the cameras during the filming. The platform used for filming was HUGE. Because they did not want tracks in the ground, the wheels are against both sides of the Riding Hall.

    When Robert Taylor enters the hall, you can almost see the shadows of the cameras.

  23. Added more foto's, starting with the foto labeled 28-SRS-600. The foto's labeled "1980's", I don't know if they are from the '80s, that is how they were labeled.

  36. Added lots of great new foto's from Marcia. Starting from foto labeled "List 2.1"


    Here are Marcia's notes on each foto:

    list 2.1--- 2 great photos of Hans Irbinger and Pluto Brezia

    list 3--Podhajsky & Favory Brezia

    list 5--This is Pluto Brezia. Handler is either Irbinger or Podhajsky. I question this because of the height of the Man. Podhajsky was taller than Irbinger.

    list 6--Podhajsky and Neapolitano Santuzza. Podhajsky said this was the best horse at the Capriole and was never jumped under saddle.

    list 7--Hans Irbinger & Neapolitano Ancona. Note this stallion is NOT in the movie. It has been edited out OR never been in the film. Apparently the Disney editors don't know how important a brown horse is during the performance. I can tell you that if Walt Disney was aware of this, this stallion would have been in the film. Walt always wanted accuracy if it was important. I have BEGGED the Disney archives to view this footage but they won't let me.

    list 8--This is a very important postcard. It is the only one I have found that shows Podhajsky entering the hall. In order front to back Podhajsky on Maestoso Alea I Josef Riedler on Siglavy Bona (I love this stallion!) Irbinger on ????????? Does anybody know? Earnst Bachinger on Pluto Wanda (I love his ears, they are always pointed back)

    list 9--Josef Riedler and Pluto Presciana I

    list 10--Podhajsky & C. Soja. That mane really stands out. Great photo, real b/w.

    list 11--Both postcards are the same performance. The same first 4 horses appear in both cards. Notice the top card is 12 Riders (Grand Quadrille, is that correct Andreas?) Bottom card is 8 riders but the first 4 riders are again the same. I still need the horse ID'ed for Irbinger. Anybody?

    list 12--Again 2 of these postcards show the same horses and riders in the first 4 positions. On the single of Podhajsky, can anybody recognize the other riders or horses?

    list 13--I believe these two postcards are also the same group. It is hard for me the see if that is S. Bona behind Podhajsky. The ID on the top card remains the same. S. Bona is behind Podhajsky Now the bottom card is harder This is what I have From Left Hans Irbinger Hubert Eichinger Herbert Irbinger Jr. From the right Karl Mikolka Wolfgang Dellefont Ignaz Lauscha Norman Tschautcher Can anybody help with the horses? That program would be wonderful! I didn't even know a program was printed for this filming.

    list 14--I scanned this one alone because it is different than the others. I see Podhajsky on the left. Can anybody help with the others?

    list 15--I have the riders Left to right as: Dellefont, Irbinger & Tschautsher. Can anybody help with the horses?

    list 16--This is the only postcard I have of the change of horses and line up. Is Podhajsky on M Alea I? This almost looks like Pluto T. The nose looks to pink. S. Bona looks to be the 3rd horse. Anybody able to help with ID's?

    list 19--I believe this order is the same Pluto Wanda's ears are GREAT!

    list 21--All 4 of these postcards are very slightly different. This is the last group from the Movie. I found many duplicates in the bunch.


    I loved sharing, I love my collection.
    Thanks to everybody for your help and knowledge. You won't be forgotten if I can ever get this put together.

    This is the Grand Quadrille. I am guessing the date to be 1940's. Can
    somebody else help with the age. Can you help with the riders. I don't
    think that is Podhajsky in the lead, so it might be 30's. Where was it

  60. I think that's Ernst Lindenbauer in the lead. It might be at Lainzer Tiergarten - there were quite a few outdoor photos taken there before the School left Vienna during the war. Maybe that's Johann Neumayr with an Oberbereiter's saddlecloth at no. 2? If so (and it's a wild guess), that would make it between about 1942-1944.

    AntwortenLöschen
  102. We still have this uniform and were supposed to wear it at a reception with Emperor Akihito in Tokyo! Originally a Gala-uniform from Habsburg times, it was "reactivated" in the 60s when Walt Disney shot the movie "Miracle of the White Stallions".
