Description
Herrmann's Royal Lipizzan Stallions of Austria When: Sunday, Sept. 15, 2:00 p.m. Where: Cogswell's Grant, 60 Spring Street, Essex, Mass. Phone: 978-768-3632 Admission: $12 adult / $10 child in advance on website, and $15 adult / $12 child, cash only at the gate. Discounts available for members of Historic New England. BRING YOUR OWN SEATING. Advance tickets available online at www.historicnewengland.org/lipizzans. The Herrmann family, breeders and trainers of the famed Lipizzan horse for over three hundred years, demonstrate the highest levels of horsemanship in three shows. The stallions of the Herrmann line are among the last horses capable of executing the "Airs Above the Ground" maneuvers. These dramatic leaps and plunges were developed as aggressive battle maneuvers in the sixteenth century, and are now among the most beautiful displays of equine grace and strength. The shows run for ninety minutes. Please bring your own seating and bug spray. Snacks and souvenirs are available.
