In 1962, 74 Lipizzans from Djakovo participated in the filming of Walt Disney's "Miracle of the White Stallions". Walt Disney, himself a great connoisseur of the animal world, was very pleased, so when he finished filming he said, "If it weren't for these wonderful horses, I couldn't have realized the idea. I was impressed by the beauty, obedience and fearlessness of the Lipizzaners."
