Vienna Masters 2012

The Global Champions Tour, the most prestigious show jumping series in the world, is hosted by Vienna for the first time. The best riders in the world ranking appear at 5-start show jumping trials. Such a high-class jumping tournament has never before been held in Austria. A 4-star dressage competition gathers together the elite of this discipline.

Set against the backdrop of Vienna City Hall in the center of the city, there's more on offer than just top-level sport: the program ranges from a spectacular jumping show to celebrity riding demonstrations and amateur competitions to a performance by the Spanish Riding School on the Sunday.
