The origin of Lippizaner horses resides in 9 stallions and 24 mares of Spanish horses imported by the Archduke Carlos II of Austria in 1580. The Archduke founded the stud farm in Lipizzia (Slovenia). Denzel Washington, states in the film that the horses are actually Spanish, which is partly true. Spanish horses (originally bred with horses from Northern Africa) were bred with horses from Germany, Denmark and local Slovenian horses to create the Lipizzan breed (they're called Lipizzan in American English).
