White Horses

...draw carriages that tourists can rent to view the city.

The photo was taken near the Hofburg, the official residence of Austria's President, Heinz Fischer. Very near the Palace is the Spanische Hofreitschule/the Spanish riding school, a center for classical dressage and a key attraction in this city. I've yet to visit the place though. The kids would surely enjoy watching performances of Lipizzan horses.

Awww! gorgeous horses! My daughter loves horses and now she's asking if she can ride on this one! ;-)

I hope you can visit my whites, too!

So many things to do and see for the tourist there huh. It's amazing how healthy those horses are. Not to mention beautiful and clean too.

Is it free for tourists? or how much does it cost to ride one?
