“HERRMANNS’ ROYAL LIPIZZAN STALLIONS” – Myakka City

Activity Level: 3

Myakka City – Witness the beauty and grace of the original Lipizzan Stallions of Austria, unquestionably the rarest and most aristocratic breed of horses, with no more than a few hundred existing at one time. At once intense and focused on precision, yet aesthetically beautiful, the Herrmanns’ Lipizzan’s present a widely varied program. Classical dressage on long lines (the first step in dressage training after the old European tradition) and an exquisite Pas de Trois (wherein three stallions are presented in a drill of balletic grace and precision) combined with the dramatic and difficult Airs Above the Ground to form the basis of the first half of the Lipizzans’ presentation. Exceptionally difficult maneuvers such as the Courbette, the Capriole, and the Levade, all highly refined leaps performed only by stallions of great strength, intelligence and endurance are included in the celebrated Airs Above the Ground.
The Herrmann Family has owned and operated Herrmann’s Royal Lipizzans in Myakka City, Florida, since 1962. This is the winter home for the horses where they are proudly trained. Guests are invited to come and witness what is rapidly becoming a dying art. This is an outdoor event; reserved bleachers seating are provided for our group.

Lunch stop at Der Dutchman Amish Restaurant & Bakery included after the performance. Serving traditional Amish family and buffet-style meals.
