Enjoyed our side trip to the see the magnificent horses. Only a few horses in the barn, the rest were out on the hillside fields that you could not see. Only did the audio tour. Beautiful church on the grounds.

From the perspective of two mature English speaking travellers this visit was a major disappointment. Having seen a performance of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna and purchased a program, this visit did not provide us with anything further. The two films shown are in German, one even with German subtitles! None of the displays have any non German information. On the day I visited the only tours available were in German and the Audioguide in English provided the only information. On the plus side the horses were very friendly. We saw about 4 stallions and quite a few mares and foals in a barn. The entry charge of 12 euros was expensive in comparison with other attractions and poor value for money.

This attraction is more suitable for people who speak German. The introductory film did not have sub-titles in any language and I know we missed a lot of information about the farm. We did have an English speaking guide who gave us a very short tour of the barns where we saw several mares and foal, but you could see that on any farm. I know they are Lipizzaners but the foals are all dark and the mares not the bright white you see in Vienna. For us the wow factor was the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.

You don't get a lot in the winter. Not much is happening and the tour is not so long. To see the horses you must take a tour which is in German. Our guide seemed so passionate, so enthusiastic but we could not understand a word. The audio guide is helpful, but after a while I gave up and carried it in my pocket. For me, as a horse lover, it was all about being able to touch these beautiful horses. We were taken to a paddock full of pregnant mares, some of whom came over for a pat. Later we went into a barn where some of the mares really wanted to be cuddled and that was just wonderful. Later in the stallion's stables there was another chance to interact with these magnificent horses and, for me at least, this made it all worth it. I have attended performances at the SRS in Vienna and done the stable tour there, but in Vienna you may not touch the horses at all. Maybe for a non horsey person this visit has less appeal, but I am so glad I did it.

You may think that a couple of white horses dancing to classical music is a tourist attraction, but visiting the stud farm is really an experience you should not miss when in the area.At the farm, you will mainly see female horses, male horses in retirement, young horses still in training, and most lovely of all baby horses, which are still black and only turn white over a few years.The entire impression is that the horses are pampered and cherished beyond belief. There is music everywhere (Avicii when we were there), because "the horses love music". In regular intervals, the horses hoofs are maintained, and they always take two horses at a time, because "you would also enjoy a manicure more if your best friend is by your side". They were feeding the baby horses at the time, and one of the staff went to a little black horses, patted it on the tummy and remarked "oh, my dear mousie, you've eaten a lot, you're getting a small pot belly, aren't you!" The little horse nudged him back.The atmosphere is very relaxed, happy, and carefully guarded. Still, you have a chance to not only see the horses up close, but to actually touch them in their boxes. They give the impression of being calm, well-maintained and not having a worry in the world. One of the retired stallions was there - he had done tours all over the world, including Japan and North America - and looked out curiously through his box. I held his face in my hands and asked him if he was aware that he was a superstar. If he was (and I think they know), he did not have a diva attitude at all.All in all, a wonderful experience to see these beautiful animals up close. PS: Tripadvisor lists the same attraction under two different names, Stud Farm and Lipizzanergestüt (http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1195735-d2400616-Reviews-Lipizzanergestut_Piber-Koflach_Styria.html).

If you are at all horsey then this is an absolute MUST. The sight of the Lippizaner Stallions in the home yard and the Mares with foals in the stables is sheer magic

This farm is beautiful! Our guide did speak very good English, but it was arranged by our tour company. Not sure if you can get an English speaker if you go on your own. Loved seeing the mares and foals. They are so cute! We saw a small portion of the morning training inside a barn. I like this farm. I would recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Lovely spot in Styria where the Lipizzaners are bred and raised for their first few years. The guided tours were not available in English for our visit, but the audio guides were an adequate substitute. We actually enjoyed the chance to peruse the designated stable tour area at our own pace, separate from the large guided group. The highlight of the formal tour was the barn with the youngest colts and their mothers. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. After the formal tour, we browsed the grounds and had a bonus experience. A large group of mares were herded past us out to pasture and we got to see a few mares and their new colts being relocated by the staff. The best though, was getting to see a group of colts and mares frolicking in an open pasture. The young colts were very spirited, racing around and annoying one another and the mares. We could have watched for hours. Beautiful animals being treated with great care and affection by the staff. We saw a few old "retired" stallions that are finishing out their natural lives in this beautiful place.

We were there on a lovely and sunny day and could see the horses used in the Spanish Riding School. We had a guided tour in English and could see the stables, trainingring, visit the cute foals and the carrige museum. A nice shop with different things for people interestedin horses. All set in a beatiful surrounding.
