the famous royal lippitan stallions in a breathtaking per formance that had to be seen to be bdisved most exciting part of the evenings programme was a routine called airs above the ground in which the horses pirouette on their hind legs a full 360 degrees also jumping high into the air and throwing out all four legs at the peak of elevation it was an ex traordinary performance that cannot be seen anywhere else in north america other than at a lippizan show the piece de resistance was courbette over hurdles in which the horse jumps over a hurdle complete with rider while holding its fore legs high off the ground an almost impossible feat with a rider aboard and not repeated by any other horse or rider anywhere i the world what made the performances even more unusual was the fact that in many cases the riders did not wear stirrups these great lippizan stallions were originally created for war their spectacular leaps and plunges were originally meant for use by mounted riders to inspire terror into the hearts of foot soldiers many a poor soldier must have had second thoughts of unhorsing a rider when confronted with 1200 lbs of kicking horse soaring above liis head fun league
