Piber Federal Stud Farm
Lipizzanergestüt Piber
The breeding base of the white Lipizzaner horses of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna, where visitors can see the stables and the black foals in the pastures.
Piber Stud Farm has been the official breeding site of the Lipizzaner horses of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna since 1920, and every performing horse is born and raised here. Lipizzaners are born dark black and only gradually turn white between the ages of four and ten. In summer, herds of black foals and white mares can be seen grazing in the pastures. Visits include the stables, a carriage museum, and training demonstrations, with daily guided tours from April to October. Admission is about 20 euros. The farm is about 40 km from Graz and can be combined in one day with the Hundertwasser Church, 3 km away.
