The Lipizzaner is a rare breed found only in Europe. They are related to the purebred spanish horse (pura raza española or PRE). Almost all foals are born pitch black, but get lighter until they are fleabitten gray or gray. Occasionally there is a chestnut foal born amidst all the gray, and it is considered lucky to have a chestnut horse in a herd. They were originally used as farm horses, but during Napolean's reign they were employed as warhorses and taught dressage skills such as the levade and courbette. Bred from near extinction, Lippizzaners still perform these moves. They descend from eight major stallions, each with its special brand.
