There is nothing quite like a Lipizzan. They are incredibly bright and highly attuned to humans. Aliens in horseskins that intersect with our physical plane. Something like that. Hearsay has it that Anne McCaffrey's dragons with their swirling eyes were based on Lipizzans.

If you know dressage riders, please pass along that some of the most wonderful horses on this planet (no, I'm not prejudiced, why do you ask?) are up for sale: Judith Tarr's Dancing Horse Farm's Ephiny, Tia, and Khep. If you've followed the Horse Camp posts, you've read about them. I've watched Ephiny and Tia grow up. They're young and they'll be amazing horses when they're mature, they have the raw material to be top-level dressage horses. Or just beloved riding horses. Khep is older and is a wonderful ring and trail horse needing a good rider, which I'm not.

The details and some photos are here: http://dancinghorse.livejournal.com/231250.html.

Drop by and drool. And then tell all your friends.
