The Lipizzan is one of the oldest and most noble breeds of horses, originating from the Lipica Stud Farm in Slovenia, with many centuries long strict selection and long-lasting systematic breeding. Stallion and mare lines are the basis of breeding in stud farms. The Lipizzan breed today has 8 lines of stallion: Maestoso, Favory, Conversano, Neapolitano, Pluto, Siglay, Tulipan and Incitato. In the State Stud Đakovo, the breeding material consists of 7 lines of stallion, all of them previously mentioned, except for the Hungarian Incitato line. Young stallions are brought to the stallion station when they are 3 years old, where they are trained and do dressage and learn to move, ride or run properly. There are also tests of their working abilities, after which some of them become pepiniere. Those are the best-rated male stallions that are used for further selection and breeding. The State Stud Đakovo has a significant influence on the breeding of the Lipizzans by loaning their stallions. Some of the descendants of the renowned pepinieres are regular participants in numerous competitions in dressage riding and carriage driving competitions. They achieved remarkable results in national and international competitions, and they were a part of the Croatian national team at the world and European championships. In 2017 in the Republic of Croatia, there were 2,118 Lipizzan horses out of which there were 148 of them in Đakovo. The State Stud Đakovo successfully runs a breeding program and uses seven lines of stallions, and although they have a small number of horses, they are of a very high quality and of a widely recognized breeding.
