Lipizzaner Horses in Pieber

The Piber Federal Stud (Bundesgestüt Piber) is the breeding farm for the stallions used by the Spanish Riding School.
A pretty walk around the castle (which was actually a cloister) brought us to the entrance, we booked a tour while Leilani played at the playground.


First thing we saw on the tour were the foals


The most interesting part I thought was the blacksmith, but no photos… and we didn’t photograph the stallions in their boxes either. I hope they let these poor horses out into the fields, once in a while, I felt pretty sorry for some of the old guys.
2 gentle mares were out and allowed themselves to be petted.




Almost better than the horses… a suspended treehouse
