Horse-riding lessons

With our horses

The riding lessons have a duration of 60 minutes and you ride our safe and calm horses in our new outdoor arena. You are being taught by a certified instructor. We also have an arena with natural obstacles e.g. a bridge, gate, slalom, ditch and obstacles for show jumping.

Before and after the lessons the riders help preparing and untacking the horses.

We offer group lessons for beginners and advanced riders as well as private lessons. Please contact us to make a booking. 

With our ponies – Pony Club

Children aged four to ten can become member in our Pony Club and participate in our pony-riding lessons twice a week..

They learn to handle their pony, to care for it, to groom it, to tack it up and last but not least: to ride. Games on horseback and with the pony at the lead rope are part of the lessons so that the children playfully learn to ride.
