Female trick horseriders
Two women have made history at Vienna's Spanish Riding School by becoming the first female riders to pass the entrance exam in 436 years.
An 18-year-old Briton and a 21-year-old Austrian must now pass a one-month trial to train at the school, set up in 1572. The school will not name the pair until they pass the trial.
