Die Abwicklung der Tickets verlief in jeglicher Form einwandfrei, und man konnte entspannt dem Training beiwohnen, welches on top sehenswert, geradezu sogar etwas majestätisch war und sehr informativ. Natürlich ist der Verbot von Fotos und Videos während des Trainings verständlich. Die Pferde würden sicherlich vom Blitzlichtgewitter abgelenkt oder vielleicht erschreckt werden. Jederzeit würden wir wieder bei Headout buchen. Vielen Dank.

Although Headout could not guarantee seat location or offer senior rates which Spanish riding school did offer, our group thought the experience very worthwhile. One of our group is an experienced dressage rider and she was able to explain everything to us, Highly recommended

The pre-purchase of the ticket made for a much easier entry into the venue. It was also very convenient that it was on my phone which didn't require printing out.

The entrance to the arena was not clear. The arena was impressive with chandeliers. We purchased seats, which were hard wooden foldaway, at the top side of building, unfortunately we could only see half of the arena. We were able to stand as there is only one row of seats, however we still had a limited view. If I was to attend again I would purchase the more expensive seats at front and rear.

Very easy to book tickets and the entry was very quick and easy despite queues. It was a very interesting and informative show, though our seats had a very restricted view which was a shame.

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.

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.
