Herrmann's Royal Lipizzan Stallions

The “Royals” are making a visit to Goffstown in late summer and the public is invited! The centerpiece of a special fund-raiser, the Royal Lipizzan stallions of Austria will be performing a series of performances at UpReach Therapeutic Equestrian Center August 31 through September 3. “We’re thrilled to bring these amazing horses to the area this summer,” said Karen Kersting, Executive Director at the UpReach Therapeutic Equestrian Center. “It will truly be a one of a kind experience that directly benefits our programs and services.” Founded in the 16th century for the exclusive use of the Hapsburg Royal family of Austria, the Royal Lipizzans are unquestionably the rarest, most aristocratic breed of horses in the world. The breed was first established by Archduke Charles at Lipizza (now part of Yugoslavia) and only a few hundred have ever existed at any one time.
