The History of the Spanish Riding School of Vienna

The Spanish Riding School of Vienna has stood for equestrian tradition and perfection for 430 years. It is the only institution in the world which preserves to this day the classical art of the Haute Ãcole which began in the Renaissance.

The "Spanish" part of its name stems from the Spanish horses ' the ancestors of the Lipizzaners ' which were much sought-after in the royal court at that time.
