The dancing stallions of Austria

If you’ve got a horse-crazy kid in your family, you won’t want to miss being at the River Center this Saturday when the royal Lipizzaner Stallions perform. These gorgeous animals, whose bloodlines date back to the 16th century, are world-renowned for their acrobatic abilities. Saved from extinction at the hands of the Nazis by none other than George S. Patton, these rare white horses have a storied history, and their refined haute ecole movements will enthrall horse lovers of all ages. Tickets are $27.50 to $20.50 at brrivercenter.com. Two performances, 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
