Michaelerplatz 1, Vienna

 
 
Don’t miss the daily Morning Exercise, which offers an insight into the years of training of the Lipizzaner horses and their riders. Accompanied by classical Viennese music the riders and their horses do simple relaxing exercises and exercises aimed at refining and perfecting certain movements. Each rider is personally responsible for the training of the stallion entrusted into his care.

Through the specific strengthening and building up of the muscles, the horses’ natural movements are developed into the perfect figures of the “High School”.  This tour gives you great – almost personal - insight into the daily life of the horses and the riders.
