For over 400 years, the horses of the Spanish Riding School have performed their elegant manoeuvres at the Imperial Stables. The easiest way for visitors to see the horses in action is at their morning training sessions, which take place from 1000-1200 Tuesday to Saturday. Tickets to the training sessions, which involve classical dressage exercise to music, are only available at the door on the day. Tickets for the actual performances are in high demand and need to be booked well in advance. The season generally runs from March to June and from September to December. Gala performances vary from month to month, usually Saturday or Sunday mornings and occasionally Friday evenings. Final dress rehearsals before the season starts are cheaper and tickets are available on a first-come-first-served basis.
