TWO ANDALUSIANS



IF YOU GUESSED LIPIZZANER HORSES, YOU ARE MISTAKEN...OR AT LEAST PARTLY RIGHT!

THESE BEAUTIES ARE ANDALUSIANS, ORIGINALLY FROM SPAIN.  ANDALUSIAN BLOOD WAS USED, HOWEVER, IN CREATING THE LIPIZZANER.  LIPIZZANERS ARE NOT AUSTRIAN--AS IN VIENNA'S PERFORMING LIPIZZANER'S--THEY ARE HUNGARIAN. (HUNGARIANS WERE GREAT HORSEMEN AND FANS OF HORSES.)
