One of my dreams has always been to see a performance of the famous Lippizzaner Stallions. Last night was the night that dream came true. The evening was warm, the air still. Armed with a camera, I settled down in a perfect spot to watch the show with some of my friends. The announcer entered the ring followed by a single line of some of the most beautiful horses I have ever seen.. The show began..........
The Lippizzan horses are an Austrian treasure, highly trained and skilled they have served as masters in military defense, where rider and horse become one. They set the standards of Dressage, the elegant dance and precise execution of commands. They did not disappoint.
Imagine though for a moment, how you might react if you had never known two of your closest friends were also the masters of two of these horses. How I ever collected myself from the shear shock of recognition, is still a mystery. Due to the fact that the horses and riders are in constant movement I was able to capture fairly good pictures, just slightly blurred. These two remarkable women,Louie and Darby, were the stars of the show. Louie was even wearing her pearls , very Vittonish.
An evening I will never forget, stunning horses, talented and gifted friends, truly a wish come true! Another Photoshop moment.
