Serves 6, CURRY DRESSING .% teaspoon salt the most valuable "high school" stud in the world, were brought to this coun- try, About the year 1500 the Sultan Ab- dul Hamid presented two snow-white stallions of the finest Arabian breeds to the, old Austro-Hungarian mon- archy. Later other Arabian stallions of Sultan Soliman were captured, when he besieged Vienna and was beaten back in 1683. These stallions were bred to the best of the ancient breeds of Andalusians and Neapolitanians in the Karst moun- tains above Trieste. The result was the remarkable half-breed Lippizzaners, which are most powerful and can carry more weight for a greater distance than any other horse, One of the granddams of Pluto ran 34 miles, six furlongs, in one hohr and 50 minutes carrying 200 pounds, There are other ancestors of Pluto which are said to have even exceeded their in- credible record. Emperor, Charles VI established the renowned Spanish High School Riding academy in Vienna for the further im- provement of the breed. Here, over a period of centuries, they were scien- tifically trained in all the many man- oeuvers used by medieval knights in tournaments and combat—rearing, side stepping, pirouetting, prancing, spring- ing and sudden changes of pace. Only those horses which could meet a rigid test . were retained. Down through the years these horses devel- oped until 'they seemed to be almost as intelligent as a man and as affec- tionate as a child; often following the instructor around ,like a dog. When the Germans seized Austria in 1938 they also seized all of these Lippizzaners. But the Germans had never owned any of these horses and found they could not handle them. The prized horses refused to respond to any command of their new owners. In spite of the intelligence and endurance of the Lippizzaners they were virtually dis- carded by the Germans' for war pur- poses. e fru, r ....Li horse can be ridden only by the most skilled horseinan who has under- gone years of training, They Must lie handled most' delicately- and directed not with reins, but by pressure from the inner leg and calf with an almost imperceptible movement in the seat, This permits both hands always to be free. The captured Lippizzaners and thor- oughbreds cannot be purchased from the government. All-offers from breed- ers, which have ranged from $100,000 to over $300,000 for some of the choice stallions, have been refused. Under the army horse breeding program it is the intention to continue in this country the scientific breeding and training of these horses, as it was started in the days of the Holy Roman Empire in Europe. Some of the great instructors and riders at the Spanish High School Riding academy in Vienna have been brought to this country to help in this work. The horses are now stationed at Pomona, Calif, While these horses will not be sold, they will he offered to the public for a stud fee of only $10. This modest charge compares with a stud fee of from $1,500 to $2,000 charged by some of the private breeding stables in this II ponntry. - , ‘, Arty Small farmer or horSe-lover may get his mare bred for this modest fee to the noblest and most ancient horse blood of Europe and Arabia. A nutn- 'her of such requests have already been 'received from South America. It iS thus possible that within a few years (By H. C. Nicholas, in St. Catharines Standard) One of the most valuable prizes Am- erican troops captured in Germany Were nine of the famous and beautiful Lippizzaners. Horse lovers regard this prize as a greater treasure than the fin- est art collection in all Europe. These beautiful animals are the oldest and most remarkable breed of horses in the world and had they been destroyed their loss would have been irreparable. They are second only to the pure bred Arabian in antiquity. Their his- tory is even more glamorous as they are direct descendants of the horses ridden by the knights of the Middle Ages. This breed of horses is so amazing- ly intelligent that for 500 years they have been known as the "high' school" horses of the world. Horsemen are in agreement that the Lippizzaners are justly entitled to be called the super- horses of the animal kingdom, They cannot run as fast as the thoroughbred which is bred primar- ily for the race track, but in every other, respect they are vastly super- ior. The manner in which these Lippiz- zaners were captured and thus saved from extinction is in itself a fantas- tic story. American troops had cross- ed the Rhine and the Russians were fighting ferociously to reach Berlin ahead of us, Germany was completely ;demoralized. While U,S. troops were attacking Monsbach, a Wehrmacht officer ap- proached their fines carrying a white flag. When conducted to the field commanding officer, he said "A ter- rible and unbelievable thing has hap- pened. "We have the finest string of horses in the world, some of which have been bred for many centuries We hear the Russians have 'captured some of our stables and are killing and eating Our horses." "However, there is one of our Jsreeding stables the Russians do not know about and we have 30 Of 0.4 fittest l'OtseS there,' I Want t sur- render them to Xg.t1 hnd save their irVes, Plied 'these horses were transfer- red to U. S. lines and experts exam- ined them and their breeding records, they found that they were indeed some of the finest hOrses in the world, thor- oughbreds which had been taken from Poland, France and'Austria and which had been formerly owned by royalty and ;such noted persons as Baron Rothschild and Aga Khan, However, what made the eyes of the experts almost pop out of their heads were the famous Lippizzaners, horses which it had been feared had been lost to the world and which had once been ridden by such fabulous Knights as Richard the Lion Hearted, In spite of the great shortage of 'shipping, nine of them, including Pluto I HAMILTON OPTICAL CO. , Iv, R.
