Rides & Rules

Rides & Rules

I offer relaxed, calm rides on beautiful trails with peaceful and amazing views of nature. My horses are friendly, reliable and well-trained partners and will take good care of you. Your safety and enjoyment, as well as the well-being of the horses is extremely important to me. 

You will have an unforgettable experience. Because I`m a small business owner, the rides are always private and you won`t ride in a large group with other people and  I match horses and rider to riding skills.  Therefore my capacity is limited and I take only up to 2 unexperienced riders with me.  Regardless of skill, you don't have to ride nose to tail.  
At the moment I hit the trails with maximum 3 guests at a time.

It is possible to pony a horse with a rider in case a guest feels unsafe. My guide horse is well trained for every situation. 
I provide pre-ride instructions regarding the horses and safety rules to all riders. 

Flexible hours are available as I only guide one tour a day. 
In summertime I recommend starting between 8 and 10 am at the latest. 
In wintertime I recommend starting between 10 and 11 am at the latest.
In spring and fall it depends on the weather.
