Lipizzan

But I do remember once that my father used to ride.

He used to ride with the Lipizzano horses in Vienna, in Austria.

He was very fortunate because in the forces he was riding.

So they allowed him to go out.

He could do the liberty work.

He could do, uh, the Lipizzan drill, even though he wasn't Lipizzan.

I did square dance, flag drill, Latin act, dancing horses.

You name it, he could do it.

And I think people should pay attention, because there are tendencies in breeds of certain past personalities that do kind of run rampant in, in a personality.

Like, a lot of Quarter Horses, a lot, are more aloof.

Uh, definitely a lot of Lipizzans are more aloof.

We had a lot of Lipizzans in the dinner show, and I- they were very aloof horses as a rule.

[laughs]

[laughs] Do you just do horse or do you do Lipizzaner? [laughs]

[laughs]

A what?

A Lipizzaner.

What's a Lipizzaner?

A Spanish dancing horse.

[laughs]

However, many years later, with a new tranche of horses and, you know, I'm talking to you about, well, this is probably the end of the line for rural and blah, blah, blah.

And at the same time, I'd just been to Slovenia to look at Lipizzana foals.

So what is it that keeps us in this cycle? loop of difficulty with horses I mean we both we talked for about 30 seconds before this and then realized there's a kind of a simplicity to the essential message which like I think you said is you can't not

yeah yeah Yeah, I think for a lot of us, why do we do it? Well, it's because we can't not do it, you know, if that makes sense.

Just like, just like about the horses.

Robards should've had a line about the Lipizzaners.
