Official Training
+ admission to the stud farm
Watching a training session in Lipica is a great opportunity to see first-hand the methods and approaches of the Lipica Riding School. Under the watchful eye of the main trainer, the riders perform all the movements you can see in the Lipica Riding School’s show, but in a somewhat more relaxed atmosphere. At the end of the training, you can ask the main trainer to tell you a secret or two about what makes Lipica unique.
The admission fee includes:
- Unlimited access to the grounds of the Lipica Stud Farm during opening hours
- Opportunity to watch the official training of the Lipica Riding School
- Meeting more than 300 Lipizzan horses
- Guided or independent tours of the stud farm
- tour of Velbanca, the oldest stable
- tour of the Jubilee Stable
- walk along the centuries-old avenues
- tour of the Lipikum Museum
- tour of the Carriage Museum
- tour of the Avgust Černigoj Gallery
- access to the souvenir shop
More about official training
The Lipizzan horse is extremely teachable, and progresses quickly in the hands of a proper rider. Schooling starts when the horses are three years old, and can last for over six years. During this time, the horses are taught the highest-level movements, socialisation with other horses, and they also become acquainted with people and their characteristics. At the beginning, cooperation between horses and riders primarily means the building of trust, because this is the foundation that later makes it possible to also teach the horses movements they rarely do naturally.
Training is done throughout the year and takes place in the riding hall.
