Riding program - Riding horses
Horses are one of the most important thing in our life and of course for our riding business.
We need many horses and a lot of different horses for the various tours and our guests riding experiences.
We choose the horses we use very carefully. They need to be 7 years old to go on longer trips and they have to have a high level of training. Beside that they need to be reliable and to have tolt!
The riding horses are used from May until the end of September and get off the months between.
To keep them as fresh as possible and willing to work they have days off during the season. We keep a diary and write down every working hour for each horse. The horses are shoed every 4-6 weeks depending on their use and hoof conditions. They are kept on big fields during the night and smaller fields during the working days. They do not need any special food beside grass, salt and minerals during the riding season but are always full of power!
We would like to introduce you our riding horses. Take you time and enjoy the description of the horses.
