Yikers... something about that really scares me... I dunno if it is the horse or the pants..
He looks very Teutonic in that picture, to say the least.
It's a portrait by Annie Leibovitz, who is a damn good photographer, although unfortunately also a leftist, I believe.
Well, they ruined a perfectly good picture of a nice Lippizan by putting that guy on his back. The horse isn't posed right, and part of his forehead is cropped in the photo. Maybe there was a hand on his browband, holding him.
I used to hang out online with someone who really knew her Lippizans, and could tell the "family" of one just by the photo, and take a good guess at his parentage. Lipps are actually an entire "product line" of horses, from dainty-looking and Arab-like to heavy-duty draft types.
