For centuries, the Lipizzaner has stood as a symbol of Austrian equestrian tradition — bred for the Spanish Riding School and trained to a standard of precision and artistry found nowhere else in the world. Now, a new series brings viewers closer to that world than ever before.
Equus Worldwide: Austria, a Wildhorse Films production, is streaming now on H&C+, taking audiences behind the scenes at the Spanish Riding School’s historic Heldenberg training centre and out into the Austrian countryside that shaped it.
Behind the Scenes at Heldenberg
Tucked into Lower Austria’s wine-growing countryside, Heldenberg is where the next generation of Lipizzaners begin their training, long before they ever step into the famous Winter Riding School in Vienna. The series goes behind the scenes as the horses learn the techniques passed down through generations.
A Journey Through the Austrian Countryside
Beyond the training centre, Equus Worldwide: Austria travels through the wider Austrian countryside to explore the culture surrounding the Lipizzaner and the Spanish Riding School. It’s a look at the traditions, landscapes and communities that have kept this centuries-old equestrian heritage alive — and what makes Austria such a captivating destination for horse lovers.
Equus Worldwide: Austria is available to stream now, exclusively on H&C+.
