20. SOUNDBITE (Serbian) Sladjana Preradovic, Vucijak farm breeding specialist:
"Every Lipizzan horse at Vucijak farm has a registration certificate stating its name, names of its parents, its date of birth, coat color, the (serial) number of its microchip and five-generation pedigree. In that way, all our Lipizzans can be traced back, horse by horse, to the foundation bloodstock of their breed."

22. SOUNDBITE (Serbian) Mico Zuna, horse trainer at Vucijak farm:
"They are among the most temperamental, the most energetic and proudest horses. But also, if you train them properly and win their trust, the most obedient. After you win their trust, they trust you forever. But give them just one reason to mistrust you and they will never trust you again; hurt them once and they will stay hurt forever."

24. SOUNDBITE (Serbian) Mico Zuna, horse trainer at Vucijak farm:
"I train up to 20 stallions at a time and not all are of the same nature. Some can be trained within a month, and some require a half year of work. But still, they all can be trained if you give them patience and love. If you do not give them that, expect nothing. Everyone who has love (for the horses) can learn how to ride them, but if there is no love, you can forget about it. One is simply born that way, to be loved and trusted by the animal. Mistreatment, beating or anything similar are not allowed."
