UK Tour of the Spanish Riding School
The Spanish Riding School in Vienna has been practicing and maintaining Classical Horsemanship at the highest level since 1565.
2024 will mark the first time the riders and their stallions will bring this incredible equestrian art to Scotland. They will celebrate their debut on Scottish soil in October 2024 and are looking forward to showcasing their skills to a great new audience.
The world-famous performances of the Spanish Riding School – the “Ballet of the White Stallions” – usually take place in the magnificent baroque Winter Riding School, built from 1729 to 1735 under Charles VI and often described as the most beautiful riding arena in the world.
For the riders and their stallions, it is an exciting adventure to go on tour together and to present the High School of Classical Horsemanship internationally.
The performances are the result of many years of training and intensive work by the riders and their Lipizzaners. In seven program points, the fully trained school stallions enchant the audience with their unique skills – in the "Schools on or above the ground", in the "Pas de Deux" or in the famous "Schoolquadrille", in which eight riders and their stallions present a complex choreography in absolute symmetry and harmony.
Experience horsemanship in perfection, accompanied by classical Viennese music!
