When elegance becomes movement and history begins to dance:
The Spanish Riding School is going on tour once again – this time, the journey leads to France!
In February and March 2026, the majestic Lipizzaner stallions and their riders will enchant French audiences with two exceptional performances in Paris.
Performances will take place on Saturday, 28 February 2026, and Sunday, 1 March 2026 at the Paris La Défense Arena.
Tickets are available now.
The France tour brings not only a touch of Vienna to the country, but also centuries-old equestrian tradition.
The journey of approximately 26 stallions is carried out under the careful supervision of stable master Andreas Haipl and his well-coordinated team of grooms. From travel and stabling to training facilities and technical setup, every detail is planned to ensure optimal conditions for both horses and staff.
The riders present a total of seven program segments: from “All Steps and Movements” and “On the Long Rein” to the spectacular school jumps – Levade, Courbette, and Capriole – as well as the impressive “School Quadrille,” performed in perfect harmony by eight stallions.
With around four tons of equipment packed into 36 transport crates – including white buckskin saddles, golden bridles, velvet saddle cloths, and traditional birch crops – the team travels from Vienna to Paris.
Witness the Ballet of the White Stallions live in France – an unforgettable experience for lovers of classical equestrian art and timeless elegance.
