 Lipizzaner Stallion Show
The Lipizzaner
Stallions are horses of nobility - the ultimate
expression of an art form which dates back to the 16th
century. These magnificent stallions perform acrobatic
maneuvers that no other breed of horse can equal.
2008 will mark the 5th year the D.E. King Equine Program
will have hosted the remarkable performances put on by
White Stallion Productions. Two evening shows and
one matinee are presented and is usually held in the
winter. A portion of the proceeds from this event
help fund the program.
