Dear Esther,
It is with pride and sorrow that the family of Esther and Tempel Smith announce the closing of the Tempel Lipizzans program. For a variety of reasons, our ownership family is moving in different directions. For 65 years and 3 generations, promoting and preserving the Lipizzan breed and classical horsemanship has been a passion for our family, those who have worked closely with the horses and community members near and far.
Over the course of the coming 1-2 years we will carefully place each horse and, as always, provide quality care for our horses. We will cease our public programming including performances and tours, educational programs like lessons and rider training and boarding operations for horses outside of TLC ownership.
On a personal note, this decision did not come lightly for me. These changes will make space for me to grow in new directions and to have more time with my family. The Lipizzan horse remains close to my heart and I’m certain I’ll find meaningful ways to support the breed in the future. I intend to update you here in the coming months on our progress and with gems from our remarkable history.
If you are interested in purchasing a horse or want to confirm you are still in our sales contacts please send your contact information to us and we will distribute sales information when it comes available.
