The disagreement between Captain Ramsey and Lieutenant Commander Hunter over the origin of the Lipizzaner stallions throughout the movie foreshadows and illustrates the fundamental source of friction between the two men, both insisting that their mutually exclusive version of reality is the truth. Ironically, Captain Ramsey (who believes the stallions are Portuguese) and Lieutenant Commander Hunter (who says they are Spanish) are both incorrect. The Lippizaner stallions are in fact Slovenian - they originate from a town called Lipica. However, the horses are generally associated with the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, Austria, so Hunter was technically closer to the truth than Ramsey.
