The Spanish Riding School in Vienna, known for its classical dressage and the training of Lipizzaner horses, has a rich history dating back to the 16th century. By 1952, the school had already established itself as a prestigious institution dedicated to the art of classical horsemanship.

Located in the Hofburg Palace, the Spanish Riding School is renowned for its performances in the Winter Riding School, a baroque riding hall built between 1729 and 1735. The Lipizzaner stallions, known for their grace and precision, perform intricate dressage movements that have been perfected over centuries.

In 1952, the Spanish Riding School continued to uphold its traditions, showcasing the elegance and discipline of the Lipizzaner horses. The performances, often referred to as the "Ballet of the White Stallions," captivated audiences with their beauty and precision. The school's dedication to preserving classical dressage and the unique breed of Lipizzaner horses made it a cultural treasure in Vienna and beyond.
