This is a combined sales list for Ritter Dressage and White Horse Vale. If you are looking for a great deal on a top-quality Lipizzan... NOW is the time to buy. We are launching a massive Herd Reduction Sale to reduce our ever-expanding herd to a more-manageable size. In our need to reduce numbers, we are offering some horses for sale that normally would NEVER be offered for sale! And we have slashed the prices on a number of outstanding horses. If you are in the market to buy your next Lipizzan Star, do not hesitate to contact us by emailing us at ritter@classicaldressage.com or call us at (360) 631-1102, because these prices and offerings will not last for long!

About White Horse Vale: White Horse Vale is one of the largest breeders of top-quality Lipizzan horses in North America. Our horses are bred according to the Classical Ideal and are designed for Dressage. Whether you want to experience the wonder and joy of riding a horse that has been specifically bred for dressage for over 435 years, or you want to excel in Dressage Competition, we likely will have what you are looking for.

About Ritter Dressage: Ritter Dressage has been breeding Lipizzans and other breeds since 2000. We breed specifically for Dressage, targetting lines that produce outstanding movement and trainability. Because we believe temperament is paramount, not only for Amateurs, but also for Professionals looking for their next Dressage partner, we place a very high emphasis on breeding for kindness, generosity, high willingness to please, sensibility, trainability, and rideability. Our foals are handled regularly yet are also allowed to grow up out at pasture, so that their bodies can develop into their full potential. Even when we train for Dressage Competition, our training is strictly classical and we follow the Spanish Riding School and Reitinstitut Egon von Neindorff philosophies in our training. All young riding horses are started classically and carefully.

Please feel free to email ritter@classicaldressage.com or call (360) 631-1102 to talk about any horse that may interest you and/or to request a video.
