For the first time Lipica Stud Farm will present the Republic of Slovenia at the Expo 2015 in Milano from May 1st till May 15th. Visit us at the Slovenian pavilion!

We inform the riders and fans of the equestrian sport that the Alpe Adria DressageTrophy Qualifier, scheduled from May 1st till May 3rd in Lipica, is cancelled due to an insufficient number of competitors. Thank you for your understanding.

The Croatian town of Lipik lives for its Lipizzaners, just as Lipica does. But their story is different. During the war in 1991 the Lipizanners from Lipik were taken to Serbia, where many died because of starvation, diseas and negligence. After 16 years of “captivity” the horses returned to Lipik in 2007.

Today at one o'clock in the morning this year's first foal in the Lipica Stud Farm was born. His name is 784 Pluto Dubovina XXX, sired by 264 Pluto Samira XVIII out of 345 Dubovina XXX. Just like the last year's first foal Wera also 784 Pluto Dubovina XXX is characterised by a white star on his forehead. Soon after the birth, he was already standing on his feet and drinking his mother's milk.

Our broodmares didn’t run alone today! Lipica welcomed the runners of the 15th Karst Half Marathon, covering the 21.098 meter–long distance from Sežana to Bazovica, Trebče and Orlek back to Sežana.

Lipica Stud Farm joined the celebration of Prešeren Day, the Slovene national day of culture on February 8th. Visitors were able to join guided tours to the Stud Farm free of charge, enjoy carriage-rides along Lipica's avenues and get to know young Lipizzaner stallions – the “stars”of the photographic exhibition »Silent hoofbeats« by Milan Malovrh. In the restaurant of the Hotel Maestoso we prepared culinary delicacies from the era of the Slovene poet France Prešeren. The weather was sunny, we could feel the spring is to come.

This year's first snow brought more than 60 shades of grey to Lipica. A new experience for our foals – take a look at our photo gallery!

Selected stallions and riders of the Lipica Classical Riding School were the special guests of this year’s winter ball of the Djakovo State Stud Farm, entitled A Winter Night's Dream.

We have no snow this year, so Santa Claus came to Lipica by foot. Luckily, a Lipizzaner-driven carriage was ready for him in front of the Hotel Maestoso, so he invited the children to join the winter carriage rides! We also invited the children to join our Christmas workshops!

Christmas time is here. Saint Nicholas visited Lipica today and invited the children to join the carriage rides. Look at our photo gallery!
