About these facts
Every fact on this page checked against srs.at — the school’s own Dates & Tickets list for the Morning Exercise on .
The performance is the finished show with a programme; the morning exercise is the training that produces it, in the same hall, at about a fifth of the price. You see the same horses and the same riders, working.
Maybe. It is training, so the morning covers whatever that morning needs. The airs above the ground appear when the horses are working on them, which is often but never promised.
Where you are and whether you sit. Cat. 1 is seated in the first gallery and the boxes, Cat. 2 is seated in the second gallery, and Cat. 3 is standing at the side. The hall is small enough that there is no bad view, only a different one.
From three years old. Under-3s are not admitted by the school, and an hour of quiet watching suits some small children and not others.
Because they are not ours to count. The school publishes its own availability labels; we can tell you truthfully whether a morning is open or gone, and a number from us would be a guess about somebody else’s hall.
Our booking fee is €0.00, and we print it on your order at €0.00 rather than leaving it out. The price is the school’s own.
No. Cameras are not allowed inside the Winter Riding School, which is why almost nobody goes home with a picture of a capriole. Watch it instead.
