The Lipizzan Horse breed is traced through eight foundation lines (dynasties), six of which originated in Lipzza, Slovenia in 1580. These six dynasties are the foundation of the famous Lipizzaner Stallions that do all the jumping and prancing about in shows. (The other two dynasties were developed in Austria starting in 1562.)
