Welcome to the United States Lipizzan Federation!  This community of Lipizzan breeders, owners and enthusiasts provides a registry for this rare baroque breed and actively works to preserve, protect and promote the Lipizzan breed.  Lipizzan horses represent over 400 years of select breeding for beauty, nobility, and a rare combination of courage, strength, ability, temperament, and intelligence.  This rare breed has captured the hearts of those of us in North America who have been fortunate enough to spend time with Lipizzans.
