THE LIPIZZANER, imperial horses in the lands of Provence

By the banks of the Durance river between the Côtes mountain chain and the Luberon, La Roque d'Anthéron resounds with crystalline notes! Known for its international piano festival, this beautiful village of Provence lives henceforth to the rhythm of the Lipizzaners : the oldest horses of pure race in Europe.

The Philip brothers, breeders born in the region and founders of the French Lipizzaner Horse Conservatory in La Roque d'Anthéron, know the history of this imperial horse down to the tips of their hoofs  and are proud to promote these powerful stallions, as white as snow, the exclusive mounts of the horsemen at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.
