At Tempel Farms in Old Mill Creek, a rare horse breed known as the Lipizzan stallion is trained a form of equestrian riding called dressage.
“We’re trying to keep the art form alive, the training and the history … one of the only places still doing it,” said head trainer Bill Clements.
Thanks to our sponsors:
When the Lipizzans are about 4 years old, they begin their formal training.
“A lot of people don’t realize we put a lot of time into these horses before they’re ready to perform,” Clements said. “It is a lifelong endeavor for both the rider and the horses.”

He had a 32-year career at Warren Township High School District 121. He taught in biology, health, science and physical education and coached football and wrestling.
