Lipik Stud, Horse stud farm in Lipik, Croatia.

Lipik Stud is a horse breeding facility in Croatia dedicated to raising Lipizzaner horses, with animals at all stages of development across its grounds. The facility contains separate stables for breeding stallions, mares with foals, and younger horses in their growing years.

The stud was established in 1843 by Count Izidor Janković and grew into a major breeding operation with hundreds of horses on its grounds. Following wartime disruption, the facility gradually resumed operations and rebuilt its herds in the early 2000s.

The stud keeps five stallion lines — Conversano (1767), Favory (1779), Neapolitano (1770), Siglavy (1810) and Pluto (1765) — and thirteen mare lines, among them Batosta, Capriola and Allegra. The current breeding stallion, Favory Mara LII-3, was foaled in 2004. The stud runs educational programmes and workshops and is part of the tourist routes of Požega-Slavonia County.

Visitors can take carriage rides to see the grounds and watch how the staff cares for horses at different life stages throughout the day. Weekday visits offer the best opportunity to observe the animals and learn about the daily work involved in running the facility.

During the Croatian Homeland War the stud ceased to exist: more than 100 horses, mostly Lipizzans, were seized by Serbian Army forces and taken to occupied territory and Serbia or slaughtered. The surviving animals and their descendants came back from Serbia in 2007 and were added to the new herd.
