Following that, there was an evaluation of the conformation of young mares for inclusion in the studbook. The highest-rated mare was our 135 Barbana XVI, born on April 18, 2019. Her mother is 243 Barbana III, and her father is 388 C. Allegra XLVI. She has a special story.<\/p>\n

In 2019, her mother sadly passed away one day after giving birth. We began to feed the filly with a bottle, but soon realized that it would be much better for her if we found a foster mother. After several unsuccessful attempts, we found an older mare named Capriola who accepted her but, unfortunately, didn’t produce milk. Despite this, Janez continued to feed the filly with a bottle, and Mama Capriola raised her as a diligent filly. This year, she start with basic training under saddle a few months before the evaluation and achieved an unexpected result. We are very proud of the mare, as she will be able to continue the Barbanas line in the future, and as owners, we are committed to preserving the breeding of Lipizzaners and promoting the work of Slovenian identity and living cultural heritage, which was also recognized in 2022 when it was added to UNESCO’s list.<\/p>\n
