Lipizzans

by Lorijo Metz

The Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria gave fame to these graceful horses for their balletic dressage performances. The breed’s noble history is traced, from its origins in the sixteenth century through its protection by the American military in World War II to its growing popularity around the world today. Great photographs of Lipizzans doing everything from performing the famous airs above the ground to getting some well-deserved downtime in their stalls are sure to entrance all readers.

About the author

Lorijo Metz lives with her husband and little brown dog in the great state of Indiana. Though she has a degree in acting and directing, she much prefers the anonymity of the keyboard, allowing her characters to revel in the spotlight while she sits quietly sipping tea or coffee, nibbling on cookies, and dreaming up ways to complicate their lives.

WHEELS, Lorijo's middle-grade, Science Fiction, Adventure, which reviewers say is, "Brilliant," "Whacky, loads of fun," and "...one I know I'll reread," was awarded a stipend from ACX, Amazon's audible division. Look for it on Amazon.com, Audible.com and iTunes in time for the 2014 holiday season.

In 2013, Lorijo made her début as a lyricist. She wrote the lyrics for the title track on PUPPY DOG JIG, performed by children's singer and songwriter Owen Duggan on his newest CD.
