(Re)new(ed) management in the Spanish Ridingschool

Last week was announced that Director Ernst Bachinger will retire from his duty as "Leiter der Reitbahn" of the Spanish Ridingschool in Vienna this month. After more than 20 years as a rider and trainer, and 6 years as director he will leave Vienna.

This position will not be continued within the SRS.  In stead of this, the duties of Mr.Bachinger will be divided among three well-known senior riders:

Oberbereiter Wolfgang Eder and Oberbereiter Andreas Hausberger will be responsible for the equestrian fulfillment of this old institution for Classical High School Dressage.  Mr. Eder will be granted with the title 1st Oberbereiter (with a renewed job description for this traditional position), Mr. Hausberger will be responsible for the training center in Heldenberg (northwest of Vienna)

Bereiter Herwig Radnetter will be appointed as administrative manager for all matters concerning the riding (which includes the riding schedules and preparation of tours)


Beside this, today the Supervisory Board of the SRS decided to renew the contract for present General Manager Mrs. Elisabeth Gürtler and Operational Manager Mr. Erwin Klissenbauer for another 5 years.
