Watch living history perform by the late day light.  An Evening Toast and Performance begins with a champagne toast to the Lipizzan Breed and honored guests. The performance program which is set to classical music will follow the varying stages of the development and training of the Lipizzan horses. From Young Stallions through Airs Above the Ground to the Quadrille, or Ballet of the White Stallions, this program follows almost the same format as the Matinee performance. Following the performance guests are invited into our stables and stable courtyard for a self-guided tour where complimentary hors d'oeuvres, wine and beer will be served as the sun sets.
