Shuffling off

I have to finish packing... what does one wear to see Lipizzaner stallions anyway?

Cords and sweater. And bring me coffee!

lederhosen?

the word "lipizzaner" makes me think something with tassles.

Not always. (http://www.bhs.org.uk/Breeds/Lippizaner.htm)

Well, leather...

Oh, I didn't mean the horses should be wearing tassles--I meant you should! *g* Pretty picture.

I second cranky's cords and sweater suggestion. Go comfortable.

I saw the tour about 5 years ago, and enjoyed it. (Although I was tired by the end - I was pushing the horses through the routines along with their riders!)

I went by the academy in Vienna to catch a very early morning rehearsal. This was almost 20 years ago. But I still have fine memories. Enjoy!

The Royal Lippizan stallions on tour are NOT from the Spanish Riding School in Vienna (although I think many of the touring horses come from Pieber (sp?) - one of the Lippizan breeding farms). I caught a SRS morning rehearsal in Vienna, too, about 35 years ago. The touring Lippizans are pretty good, but the "real thing" is even better. :happy memories:

I WOULD love to see the "real thing" (if only for comparison).
