The Lipizzaner Stallions have been performing their choreographed leaps and prances to music for American audiences for more than 35 years. The stallions bring a new show to the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa at 2 and 6 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are $21.25 to $24.25. Call (813) 301-2500.

The horses live and train in Manatee County, and visitors can watch them go though their paces free Thursdays through Saturdays through April 23 at Herrmann's Royal Lipizzan Ranch, 32755 Singletary Road, Myakka City, about 30 miles southeast of Bradenton. Training sessions are at 3 p.m. Thursdays and Fridays and 10 a.m. Saturdays. Donations are accepted. For more information, call 941 322-1501 or visit www.herrmannslipizzans.com
