	THOUSAND OAKS, CA. - For the first time in more than 15 years, the Spanish Riding School of Vienna and its amazing troop of 30 dancing Lipizzaner stallions are coming to the U.S.A. this November and December.  Brother and sister acting duo Bobby Edner (Spy Kids 3D –Game Over) and Ashley Edner (The House of Sand & Fog) had a chance to meet and ride one of the stallions at a recent promotional appearance on the Garrison Ranch.  The tour coincides with the 60th anniversary of General George Patton’s rescue of the 425-year-old Lipizzaner breed. Said Bobby about the experience; “this is one awesome horse!”  Replied Ashley, “Of course!"  For more information on the tour check out www.spanishridingschool.com  » Click here for more photos from Celebrity Photo
