Final Croatia installment.

So the second half of our day trip to Slovenia took us to Lipica, birthplace of the Lipizzana horse, famous for the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.  As we arrived, a huge thunderstorm broke out leaving us running for the indoor arena where we were treated to a dressage and driving show by the most talented of the white horses.  As a pony mad teenager I always longed to see these horses in action, and here I was.  Whilst it was a poignant moment for me, I could see that it was all a bit lost on my poor hubby who prefers his horse power to run on wheels.  Fortunately, the rain calmed down a little after the show which allowed us to take a tour of the stud and learn more about the horses.  My favourite part would have to be all of the cute little foals running around in the fields.  I think my husbands favourite part of the trip was getting back to the hotel in time for dinner!
