Story or poem :
In the Moment By Baby bunnies! (impersonating the horse)

The crowd is in awe
as I snort and paw
to leap in the air surrounding
You could even hear my heart pounding
I lept in the air
and felt the people stare
at my marvelous figure flying
How many years had I been trying?
Finally I was a star in the sky
for there is no limit to those who try
Like a shooting star I fall back to the ground
and in the room there is not a sound
Words were swept away with astonishment
as I made my first accomplishment
I am a Lipizzaner
And I am proud to hold that banner

Later on in the stable so dark
no dogs would bark
The darkness would creep
As I fell asleep

What is 'Airs Above the Ground?' Airs Above the Ground is a series of different classical Dressage like movements in the air. It is a higher level, aka Haute ecole, of the classical Dressage in the air. Some moves that they are famous for are the levade, capriole, courbette, croupade, ballotade, and the mezair. Basically it is a dance in the air with a horse, often with a human by it's side. Quite eye catching and beautiful to watch.

What does the Crown and P mean? (added to original form) The crown and P symbolizes Royal Crown of Piber. This means that this Stallion was born at the Piber stud which is the official breeding farm of the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria.

Congrats! This was tough to judge folks. I enjoyed the art for this, the poem , and the extra info on the brand. So congrats! His age almost threw me off, but it takes roughly six years to fully train a stallion, so your answer was correct.


Arrows, your form was my second choice, so as a runner up I'll give you the choice of one free breeding or custom.
I'll add proper information soon- when I have my laptop.


Keep an eye out for my second pretty Prancer! It'll come after the line edit free period is over, but it will require lots of work.
