A spectacle unique to Vienna is the performance of the Spanish Riding School's famous white horses. These horses, the Lipizzaners, are trained in a kind of equestrian ballet.
The Spanish Riding School is named for the ancient Spanish lineage of its breeding stock. The school was formed in Vienna under the patronage of Austrian emperors, and quickly grew famous for the intelligence and precision of its white stallions.
The Spanish Riding School is the greatest institution in the world for the classical training and choreography of horses
