The Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria gave fame to these graceful horses for their balletic dressage performances. The breed's noble history is traced, from its origins in the sixteenth century through its protection by the American military in World War II to its growing popularity around the world today. Great photographs of Lipizzans doing everything from performing the famous airs above the ground to getting some well-deserved downtime in their stalls are sure to entrance all readers.

      Gr 2-5-Each volume covers the breed's physical characteristics, history, and what it is known for today. While young horse enthusiasts will enjoy the abundant photographs, this series is not without problems. Photographs and captions do not always relate to the accompanying text, and the narrative flow can be choppy. The glossaries are incomplete, e.g., Lusitanos discusses but does not fully explain the concepts of "the airs above the ground" jumps and "working equitation." Friesians incorrectly states that a studbook for the Friesian horse was started in the Netherlands in 1897 rather than in 1879. Overall, the "Horse Breed Roundup" series (Children's Press) is a better choice.
