Each of their gala performances in the magnificent Winter Riding School at the Vienna Hofburg is a spectacular spectacle, captivating with the perfect harmony between horse, rider, and music. As the only institution in the world, the Spanish Riding School still upholds the High School of classical equestrian art, which found a home in Vienna with the onset of the Renaissance. Georg Kugler, the scientific director of the Lipizzaner Museum in the Vienna Stallburg, vividly narrates the history of the oldest cultural horse breed in Europe, providing insights into breeding, training, and the unique characteristics of the "White Horses." He showcases historical harnesses and recounts the dramatic fates of the "White Stallions" during and after the war. Magnificent paintings, engravings, and historical photographs illustrate this ambitiously designed guide.
