About the company
The stories told by Lipica leave a lasting impression. Because they are one of a kind and written in the embrace of its beautiful estate. Every activity is steeped in a centuries-long tradition, and coloured with picturesque scenes of nature and marvellous images of white horses.
The mission of the Lipica Stud Farm is to ensure prime services in the breeding of Lipizzan horses and equestrianism, as well as the protection, preservation, and development of the cultural and natural heritage and its promotion through advanced tourism products designed on the basis of harmony between horses, people, and nature.
The vision of Holding Kobilarna Lipica, as the original stud farm of the Lipizzan horse, is to become an internationally known equestrian centre operating in accordance with the protected values of the cultural landscape in the setting of the historically protected architectural centre and the Karst landscape. The Lipica Stud Farm will become a driver of tourism development for the entire region, and one of the three best known destinations in Slovenia.
The Lipica Stud Farm is well aware of the importance of working in a sustainable manner and of its social responsibility. As a stud farm that has been operating for more than 400 years, it is interdependent with the people and the environment in which it exists. The company follows all modern guidelines for sustainable operation, and takes care to return to the environment as much as it takes from it. Lipica is a tourist destination and is also considered a tourist resource. Every tourist resource has limited capacities, and the stud farm is no exception. Through our work, we want to show the stud farm to everyone who would like to see it today, but at the same time we are trying to ensure that it remains the same for all future generations. Within its social responsibility, Lipica is a thoughtful and positive talking partner for all stakeholders. Employees come first, as they are the heart of the company, and at the same time we maintain a continuous and fruitful dialogue with the local community, and all our partners and stud farm supporters.
Welcome to the Lipica Stud Farm Media Centre, where you will find press releases, as well as a photo gallery and information about the stud farm, Lipizzan horses, and Lipica’s tourism offer.
The employees of Lipica are part of the heritage and tradition, without which Lipica would not be what it is today. Professions such as blacksmith, groom, and rider are part of Lipica’s history, and preserve the tradition of working with horses and the Karst landscape.
