Synopsis

The "World Famous" LIPIZZANER STALLIONS includes many of the traditional movements and exercises presented at the world-renowned Spanish Riding School of Vienna. While maintaining a classical presentation of the Lipizzaner, also featured is the forefather of the Lipizzaner - the Spanish Andalusian - in a themed routine set to Spanish music.  Other exciting departures from tradition include a rousing number set to the big band music of the swing era.

Many of the horses and riders who appear in this Anniversary edition were hand picked by producer Gary Lashinsky to perform in this family oriented arena attraction.  Over the years, more than twenty-five million people throughout North and South America, The United Kingdom, Europe, Australia and Hawaii have seen this internationally acclaimed spectacle.

The graceful dance of the Lipizzaner Stallions is a breathtaking ballet over 400 years in the making.  A highlight of the performance is their spectacular leaps and maneuvers known as the "Airs Above the Ground" which were born in the fury of the battlefield. Now these stunning maneuvers are preserved as an equestrian work of art that you can witness from the safety of your seat!

The Lipizzan is a rare and unique breed; its history and culture is known worldwide.   The Walt Disney movie The Miracle of the White Stallions, depicting General George S. Patton saving them at the end of World War II from certain extinction, created an even greater worldwide interest in the Lipizzaner breed.  Had it not been for Patton, there would be no Lipizzans today. 

Harkening back to a time when the horse was a symbol of grace and majesty, the LIPIZZANER STALLIONS are a fun and entertaining family experience. One does not need to be a horse lover to enjoy the skill and beauty of the "The Dancing White Stallions".

    Worst Example of Horsemanship since a rodeo

    by blondetherapy on 7/27/09George M Sullivan Sports Arena - Anchorage

    I purchased front row halfcourt seats to best view the spectacular which I have been privileged to see twice in my lifetime. Both occasions were magnificent with superb horsemanship skills and breathe taking displays of airs above the ground. That was not what I witnessed at the Saturday night performance of the "World Famous Lipizzaners." My dressage trainer accompanied me to watch the show. We were greatly disappointed to watch riders with heavy/hard hands, noisy sloppy legs, massive over-cuing with the spurs, reins to the double bridle held incorrectly so that the pelham/curb bit was severely overused. The stallions were clearly unhappy, with teeth bared and ears pinned at each other as well as toward their handlers. The horses were ridden so heavily from the bit, instead of from the seat and legs, that their head carriage was far too high to successfully perform maneuvers such as the passage, tempis, spanish walk, all basic staples of the performances. The airs above ground should not have even been attempted. One poor stallion was in such poor position during the levade, that he fell forward, one leg scrambling to balance himself. While another stallion's courbette was weak and only attempted twice. Nothing compared to the 10 leap series I enjoyed about 7 years ago. I could go on with many specific examples.... stirrups too long, heels too high, poor hoof trimming angles on the horses, horses cross firing, counter cantering.... but I think you get the point.

    Lipizzaner Lollapaloosa!!

    by BigEd on 7/27/09George M Sullivan Sports Arena - Anchorage

    This was a fantastic show. It is so nice to be able to have events such as this one that the whole family will enjoy. The horses were beautiful; the riders were wonderful and the information about the history of this amazing breed of horse was perfect. I would (and did) suggest that anyone who has the opportunity to see this show to go and see for themselves. A-One Entertainment!

    The Lippizzaner Horses were fantastic

    by wolfwatcher on 7/26/09George M Sullivan Sports Arena - Anchorage

    The horses were wonderful and being able to see one of the rare Andalusians was an added treat. The rider from Nikiski was perfect. The others were good, but not on a par with what the horses deserved.

    Lipizzaner Magic!!!

    by greeneyedlady on 7/26/09George M Sullivan Sports Arena - Anchorage

    After hearing about these horse for so many years, we jumped at the chance to see them. Our little girl loves horses so we knew she would be thrilled. The show was absolutely magical. The adults were as mesmerized as the little girl. When the show was over, we couldn't believe that 2 hours had gone by. The price to see this show was very reasonable and we were very happy with our seats. This is a show that is great for all ages. Don't miss it!!!

    Lipizzaners are Incredible!

    by Marrhead on 7/26/09George M Sullivan Sports Arena - Anchorage

    Great show. Beautiful and well performed. The historical lesson on the horses and US patriotism makes it extra special. The story about the eight rescue horses is pretty neat, too.

    Stallions

    by Angieandmatt on 7/26/09George M Sullivan Sports Arena - Anchorage

    The stallions were fabulous! Unforntunely the Sullivan Area has the worst accustics/sound of any place I have ever been. I was three rows back from the middle of the area and could hear about one word every 20 words the conductor said. the echo and boom of the speakers muffled out everything he said. The horses though were awesome and riders were great! I would definietly recommend it if it wasn't as the sully.

    The Amazing Dancing White Horses

    by AlaskanLove on 7/26/09George M Sullivan Sports Arena - Anchorage

    The Lipizzaner Stallion show is probably one of the coolest shows I have ever seen. The horses are magnificent and they really do love the attention, you can see it in the way they perform. The riders handle the animals so well its almost as if they dont need to be there. The show also has a Spanish Andalusian horse in it as well and I believe that horse is the most beautiful one of them all. It is an amazing show for everyone young and old, horse lover or not.

    The World Famous Stallions were gorgeous!

    by WART on 7/26/09George M Sullivan Sports Arena - Anchorage

    Seeing these beautiful horses perform fulfilled a childhood dream. They are undeniably an awesome sight to behold and their stately performance set to classical music was something I'll remember forever. I had expected the riders to be all males in uniform. The female riders could pay better attention to their appearance. The horses are so magnificent. The riders should match that in their equestrian presence.
