Vienna Lipizzaners Riding School - Alergies
 
Weird question I hope not. Want to visit Lipizzaner's Riding School but my husband has unpleasant alergy to horses (even with medications). Is the area confined or more open, it will make a difference.

Its inside a riding hall. Horses come in your above the base is loose dirt over I assume sand, there can bedust etc in the air depending on what they are doing
depends how bad an alergy he has....

Make sure they're even there when you're going to be there before you worry too much. They go on tour a lot, especially in the summer.

September they are at the Riding School. Have taken a look at the website the facilities seem wide open but the price of the show for 45min. seems a little high if we have to leave quickly.

If he has an allergy to horses would suggest you give it a wide birth. While you will be sitting above the horses they snort and sweat a lot. It was there that I realized that in addition to dust and cats I was allergic to horses - had to leave and took a while to get my breath back. I am glad that it was the practice session rather than the full performance - i.e. we wasted a lower ticket price. Wild horses would not get me back there
