Lipizzaner Stallions returning to the Ocean Center Jan. 2

The “World Famous” Lipizzaner Stallions will take center stage at the Ocean Center Jan. 2, and tickets are on sale now for the 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. shows.

The stallions are embarking upon their 40th anniversary tour with new music, choreography and routines, demonstrating the movements of classical dressage, including the leaps and maneuvers known as the "airs above the ground."

The Lipizzan is a rare and unique breed, and its history is known worldwide. The 1963 Walt Disney movie, “The Miracle of the White Stallions,” depicted Gen. George Patton saving them at the end of World War II and created a worldwide interest in the Lipizzaner breed. Had it not been for Patton, there would be no Lipizzans today.
