Check out the Lipizzan Horse. And WHY there is a Spanish Riding School in VIENNA (?)
My Emu/Kiwi (!) friend is married to a gorgeous Englishwoman who is (was?) the editor of a major UK magazine all about Dressage.
I remember visiting them – out in the outback of Lincs – and seeing her horses.
#Beautiful.
P.S. Also – why did Robert le Diable aka Robert II de Bellême (de Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury, 1052 – 1113) import many Spanish/Arabian horses into his famous stables on the Welsh Marches? Apparently!
