The Lord Stirling Stable hosted the world famous Hermann's Original Royal Lipizzan Stallion's Sunday afternoon.  The arena was a full house of nearly 1000 guests who got an up close view of the historic horses.  The 90 minute show featured a number of different routines performed by the horses.

The stallions were originally trained for battle and would kick the foot soldiers of the opposing army. 

"What a beautiful day and a terrific event," said program coordinator Nancy Meola.
