White Stallion of Lipizza

White Stallion of Lipizza

The magnificent Lipizzan stallions of Vienna come to life as never before in this exciting story from Newbery Awardâ€“winning author Marguerite Henry, now back in print in a gorgeous hardcover gift edition.

A young boy named Hans dreams of one day working with the famed stallions of Lipizza. But coming from a family of bakers, Hans is discouraged from ever becoming a rider. That is, until the day he is invited to watch the extraordinary Ballet of Lipizzanersâ€”from the Imperial Box!â€”and his life is changed forever.

Marguerite Henry artfully includes authentic details about the skillful training of both horse and rider as she weaves the story of Hans and his beloved Lipizzan stallion, Borina. The brilliance of Hansâ€™s dazzling public performances and his devotion to the art of classical riding make this story uniquely rich in history and horsemanshipâ€”a tale to be treasured by horse lovers of all ages.

This beloved story from Newbery Awardâ€“winning author Marguerite Henry features the original text and illustrations in a gorgeous collectible hardcover edition.
