Austria National Day 2015
Today marks the first day of Austria's complete independence
as a sovereign state. Much of Austria's celebrations will take place
in Vienna, including a celebration at Heldenplatz, the most prominent
square in the city center, and free admission at federal museums. If
you're not in the country, you can explore The Austrian Museum of Fine Arts (Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien) on Google Cultural Institute.
Another one of the long-held traditions of Austria includes equestrian exercises performed by world-famous white Lipizzaner stallions.
These horses are trained in Vienna to perform highly technical drills
that demonstrate the precise movements required in ancient battlefield
maneuvers.
This tradition is what we’re celebrating in the Doodle today,
created by Doodler Robinson Wood. The horse and rider in this doodle
are performing a courbette
(a standing jump) which is one of the most difficult movements, and
demands intense focus and partnership between horse and rider.
