Lipizzan
Noun: 1. A breed of horse: A Lipizzan is a specific, rare breed of horse, historically associated with the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria. It is known for its compact, muscular, and sturdy build, intelligence, calm temperament, and exceptional skill in classical dressage. 2. A characteristic color-changing horse: A Lipizzan is notable for its unique color progression. Foals are typically born dark (black, brown, or dark grey) and gradually turn white or light grey as they mature, usually by the age of 5 to 10 years.

It implies a direct lineage to the founding stud farm in Lipica (modern-day Slovenia), a history of Habsburg aristocracy, and a centuries-old tradition of classical horsemanship preserved at the Spanish Riding School. It is not a generic term for any white horse or any dressage horse.
