You must...

...have seen the ads on TV,
the Lipizzaner's are coming, for us to see;
those white stallions, who seem to dance,
they've been trained, it doesn't happen by chance.

This breed goes back one thousand years,
long before there were any cheers,
moved by wars from one place to another,
they now reside in the land of their mother.
Trained as soldiers, these mighty beasts,
now lauded oftern, for our eyes a feast;
not all of them are in shows of course,
you can own one, your choice of horse.
Ahh, but the secret, they train so well,
riding dressage, or the show ring will tell,
tales of white horses, everything right,
the star of our show, right here, tonight!

NOTE: The spellings are different, either is correct - both blogs today with the same feature. (same name, different spelling.)
