Round #86 won by Portolan
Submitted by AlanS. Peruvian Paso horses during a performance at Hacienda Mamacona in Lurin, Peru. Known for their extremely smooth ride which is a result of a unique four step gait. They inherited this gait from European predecessors, strict breeding and training, though some claim it resulted from walking on the hot sands of coastal Peru. During the performance the horses wore ribbons to signify their prior show successes.

Where was this photo taken?
What breed are these horses?
Jerez, Spain. The famous Andalusian horses of Jerez.
Not Spain. or the famous Andalusian horses.
Ireland, an Irish Warmblood.
Sorry, try again
Last try, Austria, Lippanzaners.
It is Cluny France.
The Boulonnais, also known as the "White Marble Horse", is a draft horse breed. Could be this breed.
Smiling Sam has it correct.
Photo taken in Vienna, Austria.
These are mama and baby Lipizzaner horses and were on display next to the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, Austria.
Lipizzaners don't turn white until older.
Did you take it or is that a stock photo of the horses in the arena? When we visited, photography was strictly prohibited during the Morning Exercise and performances. We only watched a Morning Exercise, but there were "minders" roaming the gallery ensuring there were no cameras!
Every carriage driver in Vienna claimed his horses were Lipizzaners!
They could have been. Their hair coloring was natural, no white shoe polish or dye. 
AlanS ; Yes the arena photo was taken by my hubby when we visited Vienna on our own a couple years prior to the Tauck trip (Imperial Europe). We were unaware, until after this quick arena photo, that pictures weren't allowed. The camera was quickly stowed away.
A friend who joined us for the Morning Exercise quickly and surreptitiously got a shot or two through the gallery balustrade with her phone or small camera- I didn't see her do it.
