Belgian Dressage News

Zanzibar and EPP are proud to present the Spanish Riding School of Vienna at the Antwerp Sportpaleis from Thursday 19th October to Sunday 22nd October, 2000.

Each year, for over four centuries, the world renowned Spanish Riding School presents breathtaking performances at their facility "Hofburg" in Vienna. Now, the Vienna team is coming to Belgium for an exclusive, long weekend at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp. In four shows, the team will illustrate harmony, perfection and training. Harmony between rider and horse is the result of long and patient training. Perfection is expressed by an eye-catching choreography in which piaffe, passage and pirouettes are inserted. Training on the long lunge line and jumps, like the levade, courbette and capriole, finalise the exquisiteness of the Spanish Riding School and their performances.

The famous Lippizaners from the Spanish Riding School in Vienna leave the beautiful equestrian facility of Hofburg only once a year. Of course we are honoured that they chose Antwerp as their destination for a first guest appearance in this new millennium. The show is, therefore, an absolute must for all equestrian enthusiasts. Even more, because their last visit to Antwerp dates from 1993.

The show includes four performances at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp. They take place:

Thursday, October 19, 2000: at 20.30
Friday, October 20, 2000: at 20.30h
Saturday, October 21, 2000: at 20.30h
Sunday, October 22, 2000: at 15.30h

The Spanish Riding School presents its full programme the way it is shown for centuries at Hofburg in Vienna. In Antwerp they will bring a special opening act before each show starts.
