History
The school preserves a tradition of classical horsemanship linked with Vienna’s imperial court. Daily work develops horses and riders over years; observing that process provides context for the finished movements presented in separate performances.
Why Visit
Choose training for an insight into practice and atmosphere rather than expecting a fixed sequence of showpieces. Which horses and exercises appear depends on the training programme.
