by Frank Wayne Martin
This book is a fascinating memoir of a soldier who served as a forward observer for General Patton, often scouting behind German lines. One chapter is entitled, “The White Horses,” and describes the actual rescue of the Lipizzans, the ride to St. Martin, and the thank you performance of the Spanish Riding School stallions for General Patton. This is a fascinating first person contemporaneous account of a time so critical to the survival of the Lipizzans and the Spanish Riding School.
