Lipizzaner stallions have a strong temperament.
Lipizzaner stallions have a strong temperament. This explains why only stallions are used for dressage exercises at the Spanish Riding School. Difficult aerial jumps, such as the caper or the levade (the horse stands solely on its hind legs), appear even more dynamic and spirited than on a mare or gelding.
Funny detail
The training of a gelding stallion at the Spanish Riding School lasts several years.
