Piber Federal Stud

Stunning location in beautiful countryside. You can either wander around by yourself or have a guided tour which is only provided in German. There is so much history here which makes it even more interesting. It was lovely to wander around and stroke the horses.

Fantastic stud farm and lovely to see these beautiful animals being pampered

Well organised, entertaining and informative as well as funny guidance. Beautiful horses! Also check out the zip-line and climbing park - good fun! Recommended

One experience not to be missed get close and personal with the most beautiful horse's on Austria

Very interesting place if you are into horse riding. If you are not, like me, you can also avoid the tour and walk around the premises. I was lucky enough to go inside the church and get a private organ/flute concert

Gorgeous Lipizzaner horses all cared for and happy. What an historical treasure and such a kind, warm welcome - many thanks!

The Piber Stud Farm is dedicated to the breeding of the famous Lipizzaner Stallions, which perform at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. 60,000 people visit here annually, where they meet the breeding mares, see the foals, and learn about the breeding process and how these gangly little horses are turned into the renown Lipizzaner Stallions. When the foals are 4, those that qualify are sent to the school for training. When they are 10, and have passed the exacting training standards, they are ready to perform. When they are roughly 25, they again retire to peacefully age at Piber. All along the way there is the best of care and standards, so that only the best perform. The grounds include the Castle, which once was the home of Franciscan monks. It now houses admin offices, restrooms, and a courtyard which can be rented for events. There is plenty of parking, and a snack shop selling some nice gelato.

its a nice idyllic place for sure. But some things need to be improved. a) the visit hours for the guided tours are different than on the website. b) parking is not put up with signs if u are on the stud, and the websites loaction point brings u to the center of the stud where u cant park and c) currently no shows and nothing to see how they work with the animals. But again. its nice to learn about the Lipizans and see them.
