The true story of the flight of the Lipizzaner stallions from their famous riding school in Vienna to safety during WWII was made into a Disney movie, Miracle of the White Stallions, in 1963. One of my favorite childhood authors, Marguerite Henry, wrote the book White Stallion of Lipizza about a baker's son who dreams of becoming a riding master at Vienna's Spanish Court Riding School.
God, I'm horse nerdy.
Sarah, are you in?
