Welcome to the Spanish Riding School in Vienna!

The Spanish Riding School in Vienna is the only institution in the world which has practiced for over 460 years and continues to cultivate classical equitation in the Renaissance tradition of the haute école.

The result creates an unparalleled harmony between rider and horse, as only Vienna's Spanish Riding School achieves.
