South African Lipizzaners

The South African Lipizzaners is the name of a riding academy that operates according to the classical model in Kyalami, Midrand in the Gauteng province of South Africa. In contrast to other classical riding schools, only women ride and train the 40 Lipizzaner stallions. Public performances take place every week on Sundays. There is also an affiliated stud farm that provides horses for the academy as well as preserving a valuable genetic outcross pool for European studs. ()
