Lipizzaners are a famous breed of horse that have been raised at the Lipica stud farm in southern Slovenia since 1580. They are known for being calm, intelligent, and beautifully white - though they are born dark and only turn white over years.
Foals are born grey, brown, or black. As they grow, their coat slowly lightens until they are almost white by the time they're around ten years old.
Lipizzaners are famous for classical 'dressage' - a kind of dance on horseback - and perform at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.
The Lipica stud farm is one of the oldest working horse breeding farms in Europe.
Draw a Lipizzaner foal AND the same horse fully grown - colour one dark and one white.
