USEF Affiliate

We are pleased to be able to announce that the Executive Committee of the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) has chosen our organization, the Lipizzan Association of North America, to be an Affiliated Association.

We at LANA are proud to have been chosen to represent the Lipizzan breed. The USEF has more than 90,000 members and recognizes 120 Affiliated Associations.

This recognition as an Affiliated Association is the first step toward being able to promote the Lipizzan horse through USEF national shows and competitions.

Our next step is to compile and submit competition rules for the Lipizzan Breed to the USEF for inclusion in the USEF Rule Book. Anyone interested in helping to put these rules together is welcome to contact any members of LANA’s Board of Directors to become part of the Show/Competition Committee.

About LANA

In 1992, members of the oldest American Lipizzan registry, the Lipizzan Association of America, joined with members of the Lipizzan Society of North America to combine their interests and form the Lipizzan Association of North America (LANA). LANA is a North American representative to the Lipizzan International Federation, a world-wide association of Lipizzan owners and breeders.

The LANA website includes information on classical dressage training, contact information for Lipizzan breeders, photos of Lipizzans, the history of the Lipizzan horse, links to the Lipizzan stallions of the Spanish Riding School & Austrian Piber Studfarm, and gift items featuring Lipizzan and Baroque horse pictures.

LANA’s prime objective is to provide members with accessible, accurate, and verifiable pedigree information, not only from American breeders, but also from overseas sources. To this end, LANA has established the Lipizzan Pedigree Trust to research and maintain pedigree records of purebred Lipizzans. This trust operates under a separate Board of Trustees and functions as a historical repository and research center. Partbred Lipizzan horses are recorded in a separate division of LANA.
