Wir hatten Stehplätze, dennoch war die Sicht super. Die Pferde und die Reiter waren toll anzusehen. Unsere Töchter, die wahren Pferdekenner und Reitsportexperten, waren total begeistert. Hat sich in jedem Fall gelohnt!! Fotos durften wir leider keine machen, sonst hätte ich sie hier gern geteilt.

Die Sprecherin war Super, man hat Sie sehr gut verstanden, und Sie hat auch die Geschichte der HRS erzählt !! Man hat gesehn daß die Pferde Ihren eigenen Kopf haben, aber die Reiter/in haben es toll gemeistert, das Pferd wieder in den Griff zu bekommen, was das Training interessant macht !! Es ist auf jedenfall ein Besuch wert !!!!!!!!

Watch the Lipizzaners at work during their daily morning exercise inside the Baroque Winter Riding School, accompanied by classical Viennese music for an authentic, unfiltered experience.

See real training as riders focus on loosening, gymnastic work, suppleness, and muscle development tailored to each horse’s age and training level.

Observe different phases of a Lipizzaner’s journey, from young, still-dark stallions learning the basics to fully trained white stars refining precision and balance.

Choose how you watch, with reserved seating or standing areas offering different perspectives on the arena and the quiet rhythm of classical horsemanship.

Fun fact: The famous jumps like levade, courbette, and capriole are rarely practiced during the morning exercise. The focus is on long-term health, balance, and muscle conditioning that allows the horses to perform safely for decades.

Easy booking and great event. No photos to share as the Spanish Riding School have a strict "no photography" policy when the horse are in the arena.

I was happy to see the stallions exercising but thought there might have been more of a dance performance included. In time with the music. Most of the time it was difficult to hear & understand the female announcer..

A rare chance to see the Lipizzaner stallions’ daily training inside the Baroque Winter Riding School, offering an authentic look at how centuries-old classical horsemanship is still preserved.

Getting started

The Spanish Riding School is located at Michaelerplatz, within Vienna’s Hofburg Palace complex. Enter through the Visitor Centre and arrive at least 5 minutes early to exchange your voucher for a physical ticket.

About the Morning Training Sessions at the Spanish Riding School

The Morning Exercise is not a show, but a working training session that reflects the real rhythm of life at the Spanish Riding School. Inside the Winter Riding School, riders guide the Lipizzaner stallions through loosening exercises, gymnastic work, and controlled movements designed to maintain strength, balance, and long-term health. Exercises vary daily and are adapted to each horse’s condition, making every session slightly different. While the famous jumps like levades or caprioles are only occasionally shown, the real value lies in observing how these horses are prepared over years to perform them safely and gracefully. This experience is ideal if you’re curious about how classical dressage works behind the scenes and want a quieter, more educational encounter with the Lipizzaners in their historic home.
