More About the Presentation
Riding has a long history dating back to ancient times. The first records of riding were made in ancient East, where horses were used for military purposes. Later, nomadic peoples such as the Mongols also used them for transportation and warfare. Riding later evolved into various forms such as recreational riding, dressage, and riding competitions. Today, riding is both a sport and a recreation enjoyed worldwide.
The presentation lasts up to 25 minutes and is suitable for persons aged 10 and above. The presentation does not include riding horses by visitors. In the covered riding hall where the presentation takes place, dogs are not allowed, nor is photography and recording of the presentation permitted.

More about official training
The Lipizzan horse is extremely teachable, and progresses quickly in the hands of a proper rider. Schooling starts when the horses are three years old, and can last for over six years. During this time, the horses are taught the highest-level movements, socialisation with other horses, and they also become acquainted with people and their characteristics. At the beginning, cooperation between horses and riders primarily means the building of trust, because this is the foundation that later makes it possible to also teach the horses movements they rarely do naturally.
Training is done throughout the year and takes place in the riding hall.
Schedule April
Every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 11 AM.
May
Every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 11 AM.
