Hermmann’s Royal Lipizzan Stallions Show 2016 in Bourne MA

Hermmann’s Royal Lipizzan Stallions will perform at the Upper Cape Cod Regional Technical School on Friday, August 26 at 5PM, Saturday, August 27 at 5PM, and Sunday August 28 at 2PM.

The 90 minute performance is held outdoors and all tickets are for general admission bleacher seating.

For years, thousands were drawn here by word-of-mouth to view the dazzling maneuvers of the rare white stallions. The Lipizzans were bred in the 16th Century by the Hapsburg royal family of Austria. A Herrmann ancestor, a knight, was given a Lipizzan stallion as a gift 300 years ago.

Ever since, Lipizzans have remained in the family. Some were among those saved by Herrmann’s father and grandfather alongside General George Patton’s operation to protect and smuggle horses behind enemy lines during World War II – a dramatic mission depicted in the Disney movie, “Miracle of the White Stallions.”
Proceeds from this event directly benefit the care of the stallions and our local community. This event is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Bourne-Sandwich.    Advance tickets are now available online t www.rotaryclubtickets.com and are $15 for adults and $12 for children.
