The Lipizzaners, which are now in the Spanish Riding School, are a cross between Karst horses and an old Spanish horse breed (Andalusian). At the moment the Spanish Riding School has 70 Lipizzaner stallions from the lines: Conversano, Favory, Maestoso, Neapolitano, Pluto, and Syglavy

The Spanish Riding School Vienna is the oldest riding school and the only institution in the world where classical riding in the renaissance tradition of the "high school" has lived for more than 450 years and continues to be cultivated unchanged - which is why it is also part of the intangible UNESCO cultural heritage of mankind . The task of classical equestrian art is to study the horse's natural disposition to movement and to cultivate it through systematic training in the highest possible elegance of the high school for the horse. The result of the training, in which man and horse are at eye level at all times, is an incomparable harmony between rider and stallion.

The name of the "Spanish" Riding School goes back to the 16th century: Ferdinand I, who later became Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, grew up in Spain and brought the magnificent Spanish horses from the Iberian Peninsula to the court in Vienna. The horses were considered particularly noble and docile and were therefore particularly suitable for classical riding. The white Lipizzaner stallions, who today enchant horse lovers from all over the world with their performances at the Riding School, are the descendants of this once proud Spanish horse breed - they were created from a cross between Spanish, Arab and Berber horses.

The stable castle, in which 72 of the famous white stallions are housed, is Vienna
oldest and most important Renaissance building, it was built in 1565.
