Lippizan Stallion performing the Capriole

Inspiration for this sculpture:  I have been fascinated with this maneuver since I was a little girl.  When I was about 4, I went to  Lipizzan show and it is forever emblazed in my mind. Another inspiration for this sculpture is the fact that there are very few Lipizzan sculptures in the hobby and none performing the Capriole that I am aware of.  This sculpture is still very much in  the 'gathering information' stage.

WHAT IS THE CAPRIOLE?

As defined by the Spanish Riding School in Vienna:  the most spectacular exercise of the  Schools above the ground.   Here the stallion jumps from he ground with all four legs at one time, stretches out with his hindquarters when his body is for a second horizontal in the air.

HOW AWESOME IS THAT!  This is the ultimate performance horse :)

THE SCULPTURE

He will have an  elegant clear glass or acrylic cylinder that goes up into the belly from a natural base with grass, and/or arena footing.

Update December 2006:  This sculpture has been in my thoughts for a few years now.  I have been gathering information and photos on Lipizzans and hope to start him this year.
