Spanish Riding School Training with Music Tickets at Spanish Riding School

Your experience 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.
