Founded in the 16th century for the exclusive use of the Hapsburg Royal family of Austria, the Lipizzan is unquestionably the rarest, most aristocratic breed of horses in the world. Assisting General Patton during World War II, the Herrmanns smuggled the royal stallions out from behind enemy lines to save them and feel the horses rescued were more precious than jewels. Only a few hundred have ever existed at any one time. Foremost among the leading breeders of Lipizzans is the Herrmann family who maintain a ranch in Florida to help insure the continuation of this extraordinary breed. The Herrmann Royal Lipizzans are the only horses outside of Austria authorized to wear the Royal Hapsburg brand.

The Lippizan is unquestionably the rarest, most aristocratic breed of horses in the world.

The Herrmanns bring their magnificent Royal Lipizzan Stallions to the Ulster County Fairgrounds for an amazing equestrian show. These majestic horses are world-renowned, having appeared in the Disney movie Miracle of the White Stallions, as well as Radio City Music Hall.
