The Tempel Lipizzan Legacy

xoxo, Lauren

A few miles from my dad’s lake house (where we’re visiting now) are the Tempel Lipizzan Stables which house Lipizzans, Europe’s oldest domesticated horses, owned by the Tempel Smith family (of Tempel Steel).  The grounds are incredible and we love going to see the shows.
 
{The Stables}
 
According to Lippizan.com, “Lipizzans are Europe’s oldest domesticated breed of horse. They not only possess beauty and nobility, but also a rare combination of courage, strength, ability, temperament, and intelligence.
 
 
 
The Lipizzan breed had its beginning in 1580″… and was created by a combination of different breeds… They have been moved throughout the past 400 years numerous times to survive various wars including the Napoleanic Wars, and World Wars I & II.  “In 1945 General patton executed a daring rescue of the Lippizzans, the story of which is told in Disney’s The Miracle of the White Stallions.”
 
{photo of a photo I saw in the stables}
 
“In 1955, millionaire Tempel Smith (Tempel Steel) of Chicago, imported 20 Lipizzans from Austria, 11 from Hungary, and 6 from Yugoslavia…”
 
{Me creepily taking photos of one of the riders who was resting between performances…  he totally caught me- oops!}
 
…”Tempel Smith devoted 15 years, until his death in 1980, importing and breeding his herd to over 400 horses. Since Tempel Smith’s death, much of the herd was disbursed. However, Tempel Farms still breeds a number of Lipizzans each year, and they still successfully compete Lipizzans for Tempel Farms.”
 
 
{The Show…  The woman above was so beautiful & poised…  exactly what you would imagine. }
 
This year, the weather was perfect when we took Christian & Justin to see the show.  The horses are just incredible:
 
 
 
I can’t believe how high they jump!!!
 
 
The boys had so much fun and even 7-month-old Justin was into it…
 
 
 
 {I loved this photo from the stables}
 
And Christian loved the old “fire truck”-
 
 
I’m apey over the Guest House, which sits high up on a hill overlooking the grounds:
 
 
It can be rented for private events and there’s a pool in the back:
 
 
  
 
… which overlooks this:
 
 
And the stables house some of the best design I’ve ever seen:
 
 
The hallway was gorgeous.
 
 
 
They’ve kept everything as it was in the 50s:
 
 
Check out the heat lamps the horses use when being bathed:
 
 
…And of course I can’t see all of this and not start to think about interiors.  Oh my gosh, please someone call me with a horse fetish!!!  (err passion 😉  I’m dying to do a home for a horse-lover now!!
 
  Check out these photos taken by Roger Davies for Elle Decor of Mark Badgley and James Mishcka’s home:  Mmmmmm.. love it!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 And this one from Nuevo Estilo Magazine via La Dolce Vita:
 
 
(I can’t help but get a little bit excited for Fall when looking at all of these images but I’m holding it back because Summer’s still in full force.)
 
And one last picture of the horses as we drove by another day on the way home to the house…  You can see them right on Hunt Club Road:
