The Spanish Riding School Vienna

The world of Lipizzans!





In one of my trips I arrived in Vienna. It is a wonderful city full of history, parks and a lot of things to see and do. As I was going for a walk in the city, I discovered The Spanish Riding School, right in the middle of the town, in a place called Hofburg. I didn't had much time, but I went to the "Morning Exercise", which they do every morning from Tuesday to Friday between 10:00 and 12:00. I think it was the greatest way to start my day. I was really amazed about their beautiful white horses, as they were accompanied by classical Viennese Music. I could see the specific strengthening and building up of the muscles, the horses natural movements, which were developed into the perfect figures of the "High School of the classical Horsemanchip". 
The most important thing is that they have only Lipizzans, which are Europe's oldest horse breed.They are bread from Spanish, Italian and Arab bloodlines, very intelligent and lively, with their classic physique and grace. These horses are perfectly suited for the representative style of the High School of Classical Horsemanship.
There you can also see the performances of those incredible creatures.You will be very impressed to really see the result of years of training of horse and rider in more than 70 classical performances a year.
Another great thing is that you can be apart of a guided tour, behind the scenes of this incredible school. You can have an insight into the most important areas and the stables.
