Tulipan
The Tulipan line has it's roots in Croatia. At the beginning of the 1800,
there was a stud in Terezovac at the Hungarian border. The first
stallions and mares came from Lipica around 1860. Strong and fast
carriage-horses were bred and already in 1881 they had more than 55 mares
and 7 stallions. Then the Croatian lipizzan line Tulipan was created. The
early Tulipans were big, muscular and dark in color.
Many famous studs, like Lipica bought horses from Terezovac. At the end
of 1800 Terezovac was one of the best studs in Europe. Unfortunately,
they closed the stud after the first World War. The Stancic stud got some
of the horses and the Lipizzan line Tulipan. When this stud then closed
down in 1938, the Tulipan line moved to Lipik and later to Djakovo. The
black stallion Tulipan Maradhat (1925 Stancic) was especially used for
breeding in Croatia. You can find this stallion in almost every pedigree
of a Tulipan horse.
