Knoll Lipizzans prides itself on breeding the finest Lipizzans
for the sports of Dressage and Eventing (Combined Training).
This noble, yet versatile breed is already known throughout the
world as a quality Show Jumper and Dressage specialist. Butterfly
Knoll seeks out pure and intact Austrian bloodlines, often
directly from the Piber Stud Farm, for development and training
in the equestrian triathlon of 3-Day Eventing.

One
of Europes oldest and most storied breed, Lipizzans were always
preferred as the premier mount for military horsemanship. The worlds
first true eventers, they were developed in the crucible of war
and carried the Royal Cavalry into battle. What better horse to
face the grueling test of the 3-day event?
In
February 2002, Butterfly Knoll Lipizzans came into
being. With both indoor and outdoor riding arenas, 50 round
pen, and multiple pasture areas, the training, boarding, and breeding
of Lipizzans is a delight to behold. A sampling can be viewed on
this Web site or by scheduling an appointment to visit the farm
in Northern Virginia.
