Lipizzaner's in Slovenia

We recently got the opportunity to visit the Lipicia Stud Farm in Slovenia. The Lipica Stud Farm is the one of the largest farms of Lipizzaner's in the world, more than 300 live there now.  It's history dates back to 1580. It is actually the origin of the Lipizzaner horses. Lipica is open year round, and in the summers they have performances and you can actually ride the horses too. A few years ago, they refurbished some of the barns, because they had a very important visitor, the Queen of England. That day we got to take a tour of the barns, and museum, I'd love to go back in August and go for a ride. This trip was definitely up my alley.
