Lipica = Horses

The horses found at Lipica are WORLD FAMOUS. Their purest white colour is quite remarkable. You'll see in the middle of the picture a brown foal, and also in the foreground a dark brown mare. Of the two, only the latter is unusual. All Lipician horses are born with a dark coat, but 90% of them will turn grey and eventually white. The mare is an exception, she never turned white and never will now that she has reached maturity; however, surprising though it may be her foal developped into a white horse.
During the wars and various occupations of the stud farm in the past the original mares and stallions were divvied up and taken by the occupying forces; Italy, Austria, whoever had previously bought them from Slovenia now has their own- but none can come close to claiming the blood line.
Unfortunately Moose's presence caused the stallions to become all territorial and so he was confined to the children's play area, where we met the shetland pony- looking like he'd eaten even more than David did at Rok's nan's place.
Outside of the fence was as close as we were allowed. After Rok and Tom were politely asked to leave the stud farm last year we felt it best not to push the matter.
