  1. Thank you for sharing! Here is a picture of Karl Mikolka performing levade on Siglavy Roxanna, in case you don't have this one. There are other pictures of this stallion, and also Pluto Bonita (Brownie and Blackie) on his website.

  3. I love the greys as an ensemble, but I've also always loved the painting with the palomino. Who is the artist?

  4. M. Rubina is magnificent!!! I have never before seen a chestnut Lipizzaner. Where is he and who are his parents?

  5. He is privately bred in Hungary by Mr. Lajos Sebestyén. His pedigree however bears mainly Romanian-lines (Sambata de Jos). This explains his robe.

    He is owned by the present General-Secretary of the LIF (Lipizzan International Federation), Mr. Christian Manz in Austria.

    He is really a very special horse!

  6. just out of interest - Conversano Arva has Arabian Fading Syndrome ... hence the white 'splotches' that incidentally change all the time. He also has some on his body.

  7. What a fabulous collection of photos! I've seen numerous pictures of chestnuts although there may only be one here in the US. Loved the photo of Pluto Lina from 1913 -- where was he bred?

  8. Had C. Bonavia in my clinic in La Roque d'Antheron. He is a very good horse!

  9. Is he an approved breeding stallion? What's the opinion of the LIF on colored horses to breed with?

  10. In the former imperial court stud of Lippiza (1580-1915), the cradle of the Lipizzaner breed.

  11. He is located in Conversano, Italy at this moment. Due to his nickname ("vranac") I assume he is their stallion from Djakovo (Croatia).

  13. In my time, the official rule was: the greys are preferred, but all varieties were allowed. That is to say, if genetically possible and explainable, of course

    Piebolds definitely died out. Black, bay and brown simply appear regularly. Chestnuts are very rare, and only existing in Romanian families. Dunn is extremely rare, and only remained in the classical lines of Topolcianky (SK).

  15. Well... to be honest... this is the only grey horse in the collection. But because these extreme spots, I thought it was an interesting picture within this series.

    I do not know the terms in English, but it is an extreme "Forellenschimmel", with those specific blooded spots as well. (Just as f.e. "Favory Alea I" in the SRS had, but then with a black basic color)

  16. Atjan, do you know where this photo was done?

    AntwortenLöschen
  17. No, in the imperial stables in Vienna (die kaiserliche Hofstallungen). Nowadays the "MuseumsQuartier"

  18. According to the (German) source, It was during a tour somewhere in Germany, before WW2.

    The strange thing is, that it was dated 1932. But there was no tour in that year. If we look at the historical list of SRS-Tours, it could have been Berlin (1925) or Aachen (1927). And the next tour in Germany was 1939. So this picture is a sort of question mark.

    It is a picture of the German "Bundesarchiv", with the title "Wien.- Spanische Reitschule, Reiter auf einem Pferd"

    However, a second picture of this series at the same unknown location and the same horse/rider, was dated September 1930 !

    With the following text:
    "Die weltberühmte Spanische Hofreitschule zu Wien will demnächst in Deutschland gastieren! Morgenarbeit der weltberühmten Wiener spanischen Reitschule, dessen Leistungen bisher unerreicht sind."

    As far as I know it concerns OB Neumayr, who was in duty between 1917 - 1945.

  19. No, in the Lipp-dynasty there were no piebalds.

    AntwortenLöschen
  20. So which lines or families were piebalds?

    AntwortenLöschen
  21. In other words: Which of the stallions at the SRS has piebald ancestors?

    AntwortenLöschen
  22. Of present stallions in the SRS? That is something I should investigate in the original studbooks. I do not have this data immediately available! The last piebalds were bred in the 19th century.

    The English piebald crossbred `Dolly´ came in Lippiza in 1835. She disposed her robe. All piebald horses, which were used in the harness for Empress Elisabeth in the 2nd half of the 19th century were descending from her. As far as I know by head, also all other piebalds in the 19th century.

    In the (more colorful) 18th century we have data as far as the studbooks reach. There are not many piebalds in this period either! The background of this color in the baroque period is not always known, as the origin of the horses is not always defined.

  23. Scroll down to nearly half of the document. There's a photo of the stallion Nymphensittich, a son of Pluto Lina.

  24. Pluto Lina was born 1913 in Lipica

    his dam Lina was half trotter born 1899 in Lipica

    Lina was a descendent to the english halfblood mare Dolly, born 1835, to whom they breed in Lipica

    the stallion Pluto Lina was later sold to Paul Lehmann in Germany where he founded the piebald herd
