Young horses from the Lipica Stud Farm used to be bred in dislocated units of the Stud Farm for centuries. One of them was the Bile estate, mentioned in the historical sources already in the 18th century. Part of the former stable for the Lipizzaners at Bile was renovated and reconstructed in June and July by the Slovene Armed Forces and the Colorado National Guard.
