Full description

Visit the Spanish Riding School in Vienna and watch the horses during morning exercises. In the magnificent scenery of the Baroque Winter Riding Academy, the morning exercise offers an insight into the years of training of the Lipizzaners and their riders. The morning exercise of the horses is accompanied by classical Viennese music.

The morning exercise includes relaxation exercises, refining and perfecting movements and strengthening certain muscles. The famous school leaps Levade, Courbette and Capriole, which are shown in the performances of the Spanish Riding School, are not practiced daily and are only sometimes seen during the morning exercises.

The white Lipizzaner stallions are tested almost daily by their riders to the paces. The primary goal of the morning exercise is to maintain the athleticism and health of the horses as well as to build various muscle groups needed to perform the exercises of the Haute Ecole.
