Slovenes are very proud of the Lipica Stud Farm, located in the western part of Slovenia, where the thoroughbred white Lipizzaner horses have been bred for more than 400 years.

People use several words for horses. A very popular one among teenagers is a gee-gee. Here you find a short description of a gee-gee breed – the Lipizzaner.

This horse is used for equine disciplines and is occasionally a carriage horse. The Lipizzaner was bred for sport and show, including the highly controlled jumps and other movements. The Lipizzan breed dates back to the 16th century, when it was developed with the support of the Habsburg Monarchy.

Most Lipizzans measure between 147 and 157 cm. They have a long head, small ears and large but dark eyes. The legs are well-muscled and strong. The tail is carried high and well set. The feet tend to be small, but are tough. Most Lipizzans are grey and have a white hair coat. They are born dark — usually gray or black — and become lighter each year.

The breed takes its name from one of the earliest stud farms established, located near the Karst village of Lipica (spelled "Lipizza"), in modern-day Slovenia.

Lipizzans have starred or played supporting roles in many movies, TV shows, books and other media; for example in a Walt Disney (1963) movie Miracle of the White Stallions (a live-action, relatively realistic film set against a World War II). In the 1960s, the Slovene poet Edvard Kocbek wrote a poem dedicated to the Lipizzan horses.
