Poster with a beautiful image of a Lipizzaner. A horse breed that is best known through the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, popular in equestrian sports mainly dressage.
In connection with the crown princess being named Victoria, an idea was born from stallion keeper Josef Major. The Swedish Lipizzaner Association would donate a two-seater to the princess, called the Victoriaspannet.
In the court stable there was already a carriage named after the former Queen Victoria, which was also pulled by two Lipizzaner horses in the queen's time.
After completion of running in and training, the horses were handed over to the princess in the summer of 1980. The Lipizzaner horses thus became residents of the court stables and had to continue their training as driving horses. They also got new names: Capriole and Croupade.
Over the years, the two Lipizzaner horses have been ridden in official contexts and have also been given a special place in the heart of the royal family, as they were allowed to accompany them every summer to Solliden, the summer paradise on Öland.
1996 was the last year that Capriole and Croupade were allowed to shine in the court stables. After long and faithful service, the two Lipzzaner lords have now had to retire to Ragnar Palmér's farm outside Kungsbacka. The couple retired together, as care was taken not to separate them in old age.

We deliver worldwide and always offer free shipping! Depending on which country you are shipping to, the delivery may mean that certain customs fees and taxes are added - there is no duty or tax on deliveries within, for example, the EU, USA or Norway.
The delivery time is normally 1-3 working days within the Nordic region, 2-5 to the rest of Europe and 3-8 working days in other parts of the world. As for canvas paintings, we make them by hand in our factory in Sweden.
The canvas needs to dry before we stretch them on a wooden frame and send them to you. The delivery time for a canvas painting is therefore approximately 7 working days within the Nordic countries, slightly longer to other countries.
