The Spanish Riding School of Vienna. Part 1/2.

[@equine2020]

Austria, a culture of beauty, & grace. Classical music, & beautiful horses. My grandfather had prize winning horse in Austria. He fed them raw eggs to put a shine on their coat. Got my love of horses from him. My entire life has been horses.

[@henrietta9394]

I love how they always comfort and pat the horses and give them treats. That’s the best way to treat and train a horse. Patience and trust is key to anything! I don’t know how people can hate this

[@mikedavidz6161]

A policeman in the big city stops a man in a car with a minature horse in the front seat. "What are you doing with that horse?" He exclaimed, "You should take it to the farm." The following week, the same policeman sees the same man with the horse again in the front seat, with both of them wearing sunglasses. The policeman pulls him over. "I thought you were going to take that horse to the farm!" The man replied, "I did. We had such a good time we are going to the beach this weekend!"

[@Alex-ft1df]

Probably because they have no heart.

@@ImogenC-rt3fm You children need to learn about real horsemanship, instead of the fantasy you think is the only way, but is actually totally unrealistic.

[@artzytoastvt]

I recently visited this place and it’s absolutely stunning. The effort and care that the people show for these magnificent horses is truly amazing!

[@Saartje05]

These horses are being taken care of better than most humans are taken care of. Also the fact they´re all white means they´re not young horses, these horses get the time to grow and not forced into difficult moves at a young age. I´ve been in the stables and visited a training and I was amazed how carefully they handle these horses. They´re worth a fortune.

[@Jefferdaughter]

+Saartje05 True! Though, these horses are not 'forced' to do anything, ever, but their natural physical abilities are carefully developed over time - as you know, but to make it even more clear to those who do not know or understand that all these movements are natural to the horse. The horses that lack the correct build or strength to perform the 'airs above the ground' - the most difficult movements - are not brought to the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.

[@kieram5290]

You are so lucky, i would love to visit their stables, i bet they are amazing!

[@Saartje05]

Kiera M They are... Beautiful city too.

[@Saartje05]

*****​ Did you just made that up? All white doesn't mean they all look the same. Anyway I've been there. Watched the training.

[@Saartje05]

***** DO YOU HAVE TO TYPE LIKE THIS? Uhm, saying horses are white so they can't tell them apart is total nonsense. It's like saying people are white so we can't tell them apart. Horses have different faces too. And yes, there are brown Lipizaners but the grey ones are still young and turn white the older they get. Most after they're ten years old.

[@nooropqa5057]

It is my dream since a child to visit the spanish riding shcool of viena, since my dad went there when I was around 10 and bought me a string of postcards with pictures of the school and horses. I am now 54, and I hope to be able to fulfil my dream this year, xx

[@susanchandler8921]

Such a beautiful video. Brings tears to my eyes. This is my world and passion, also. "Classical Dressage and Baroque horses." I now own, what I have dreamed of for 28yrs, a 4yr old PRE Andalusian Stallion. I have previously, visited the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, in 2008. Would love to go again one day and also, to the other 3 classical schools in the world, in Spain, Portugal and France. For me, there will be nothing better than this, in the world.

[@magdalenagauderon3754]

I love the fact that they remain with the mothers until they go out in a herd and are only brought into school at 3 .they had time to learn develop and mature in theyre natural time and setting.

[@StRain-zx2vo]

My horse at 6 performed a cabriole. I was watching out my window. My jaw literally dropped. I was astonished. Never expected to see that. He isn't broken. I have seen foals naturally perform,but not adults.

[@jandavison7288]

My Spanish horse did the same thing twice in the field 🐎.

[@carolinefawcett4237]

Crimsonglamourmoon, if you contact the Spanish Riding School they can tell you who is giving clinics and where. I have attended several with Andreas Hausberger, the Chief Rider from the School.

[@conniecrawford5231]

The greatest movement is “ the airsabove the ground” in which the horse leaps above the ground with all 4 legs and strike out!

[@nancy6160]

The capriole.

[@heitorqueiroz9364]

People should be grateful to the horse, for what they did for humanity and for their beauty, they should pray for horses and Animals in general for our disrespect for them!

[@TBGrygotis]

one of my dream horses is either a lipizzaner from the conversano or maestoso line

[@fionadrummond923]

Been there they are fantastic music fills your head

[@susanchandler8921]

"The Blue Danube" is the name of the waltz music used at beginning of video.

[@ThoroughbredPeep]

Actually, it's pretty interesting. Shines a more brilliant light in the area of classical dressage.

[@equine2020]

The ultimate in horsemanship. What some riders try to gain. Harmony between you & your horse. Some come close. As to the connection.

[@katiewashington7338]

I’m taking my first classical equitation class on Monday from a trainer in Georgia who spent time here and goes here every year after spending like 3 years learning this first year they all have to spend that year purely on a lungline to learn a good seat

[@sango1161]

i love this video it tells you everything about the horses the school,Breeding and so on

[@MilesRachael]

wow, what can I say but excellent!

[@saskiavanhoutert3190]

The lippizaner is a breed off an andulusian horse and an arabian horse, Busted is one, but unfortunalty it is not a stallion, he has a good life now and is loved by it's owner Lotte van Houtert and the rest of the family, thanks for showing and kind regards .

[@pinknose20011]

@jesss227 there is a tradition of having a single black stallion as all the stallions are born dark/black and lighten with age but some stay dark/black so one was always included.

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

It's considered good luck to have a dark horse with the white (actually grey) horses. Sometimes a black or bay foal will stay that color. Yes, it is tradition. (Jan Griffiths).

At 2:00 why was there a black horse?

[@douglasgriffiths3534]

He remained that color instead of greying out as nearly all of them do. He is still a purebred Lippizaner. It's considered good luck to have a dark horse, and traditionally one was always kept. (Jan Griffiths).

How I hate that it is always said that Lipica is a village near Triest or something. Lipica is in Slovenija and has nothing to do with Italy. Lipizzaners are horses bred with mixing Slovenian draught mares with exceptionally hard hooves and Spanish and other stallions. Lipizzaner is a Slovenian breed.

[@adrianashilling2573]

Trieste is very near the Slovenian border.

[@wolfgang4043]

@@adrianashilling2573 Yes, it's actually called Trst.

[@adrianashilling2573]

@@wolfgang4043 The city at this point in time is part of Italy so it’s called Trieste. It’s changed hands several times over the centuries and there are many Slovenians in the city and many Italians go to Slovenia for various reasons .My mom was Italian (from Calabria) and I grew up bilingual and have spent a lot of time in Italy but mostly from Naples on south. The Spanish riding school I wonderful but Italians have also contributed a lot to the history of the equestrian arts (Caprilli’s forward seat for example). You can call it Trst. I will call it Trieste and we can still be friends I hope. I’ve never been in the area but I hope it’s not a different version of the Gaza Strip. Have a great day. P.S. I’ve never heard any Italians claim that Lipizzaners were an Italian creation. There’s a very interesting book called “The Perfect Horse” which you might find interesting if you enjoy history. Another lovely book is “My Horses, My Teachers” by Colonel Podhasky but period you’ve read it. Are you from that area or have connections there? From what I could divine from a map it’s quite possible that the city has expanded and has a foot in each country and each one has its own moniker for it. My only hope is that the neighbors get along peacefully each respecting the other.

[@wolfgang4043]

@@adrianashilling2573 It may have been a part of several countries, but it is the stolen land of Slovenians whose governments gave themselves different names. It was already liberated from fascists, but then given as a sacrifice together with Gorica and lots of land to Italy by the idiot Churchill. If Slovenians were a bit more militant, it would turn into a kind of Gaza, yes.

[@adrianashilling2573]

@@wolfgang4043 It’s so sad how the aftermath of wars linger for decades or centuries after the last shot has supposedly been fired. I am appalled at what the US has accomplished “spreading democracy” in the Middle East and the havoc the refugees fleeing the mess we created has caused throughout Europe . Like most industries wars make a small number of people obscene amounts of money at the expense of inestimable suffering to ordinary people. Where do you live if that’s not too personal a question? I’m in southern IL and the amount of division and hate combined with our cornucopia of weapons creates a situation in which I can’t see an appealing resolution.
