\r\n\tOutdoor Trail at Gut Weissenhof<\/h1>\r\n\n\n
\r\n\t\n\n

A new area awaits horse enthusiasts on our grounds, combining movement, nature, and riding. The outdoor trail invites you to train playfully, try new things, and deepen the connection with your horse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\r\n\tVaried working equitation course for all ages and skill levels<\/h3>\r\n\n\n
\r\n\t\n\n

A special new area now awaits horse enthusiasts at Gut Weissenhof. A varied outdoor course covering approximately 2,000 square meters has been created, inspired by the discipline of working equitation.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The course is a combination of various elements that challenge the rider’s coordination and skill on one hand, while gymnastically training the horse and fostering trust between rider and horse on the other. Tasks include the gate, the bell, moving cups, the three barrels and the bull, as well as parallel slalom, wall, pen, and reverse slalom. A special experience is the bridge, which requires courage from both horse and rider.

The course is suitable for all age groups and every riding level. From the first tentative steps on a lead rein to a balanced round at canter, rider and horse can grow together here, experience joy, and work on their refined communication.

For experienced riders, the canter meadow is a true highlight\u2014an open field directly next to the outdoor trail that conveys freedom and lightness.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\r\n\t\"\"<\/picture>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\r\n

\r\n\tObstacles<\/h2>\r\n\n\n

\r\n\tThe Pen<\/h3>\r\n\n\n
\r\n\t\n\n

The pen is a small, fenced circular path that is ridden from both left and right. With calm line guidance, the goal is to guide the horse evenly and attentively through the narrow form.

This element supports the horse’s mobility and collection ability and trains the rider’s fine sense for correct aid application during tight turns.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>

\r\n\t\n

\r\n\tThe Bell<\/h3>\r\n\n\n
\r\n\t\n\n

At the bell, the rider rides through an\u00a0“<\/em>alley“<\/em> consisting of two poles up to a bell. There, a brief halt is made, the bell is rung, and then the rider backs out of the alley in a controlled manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n


This element promotes attentiveness and obedience in the horse. For the rider, precise riding is required, from exact halting and taking the reins in one hand to the demanding, calm, and correct backing up. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>

\r\n\t\n

\r\n\tThe Wall<\/h3>\r\n\n\n
\r\n\t\n\n

The wall is a small hill that is ridden up and down calmly. For experienced riders, the element can also be combined with a controlled jump up and down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


This promotes strength and suppleness in the horse, while the rider particularly trains balance and secure seat position.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>

\r\n\t\n\r\n\t\"\"<\/picture>\n\n
\r\n\t\n

\r\n\tThe Bridge<\/h3>\r\n\n\n
\r\n\t\n\n

The bridge is a fairly narrow, slightly elevated wooden bridge that is ridden over at a walk. With calmness and clear guidance, the element is crossed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


It particularly strengthens the horse’s trust in the rider and invites mindful, concentrated cooperation\u2014a small test of courage that provides great confidence.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>

\r\n\t\n

\r\n\tThe Gate<\/h3>\r\n\n\n
\r\n\t\n\n

From horseback, a gate is opened, similar to that of a pasture fence, ridden through, and then carefully closed again on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


This element requires precise, calm riding at a walk. Controlled forward and backward movement, exact positioning, and confident riding with one-handed rein guidance are required. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>

\r\n\t\n\r\n\t\"\"<\/picture>\n\n
\r\n\t\n

\r\n\tThe Three Barrels<\/h3>\r\n\n\n
\r\n\t\n\n

With us, the classic three barrels are replaced by three tree trunks arranged in a triangle. Riding is done on a predetermined line in circles around the elements, creating a particularly refined coordination between horse and rider.

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exercise promotes the horse’s collection ability and trains suppleness, especially through the rapid changes of direction, while the rider calmly accompanies the horse with aids and maintains the correct line guidance.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>

\r\n\tCanter Meadow<\/h2>\r\n\n\n
\r\n\t\n\n

For experienced riders, another experience awaits: a ride across the “<\/em>open field“<\/em> on our canter meadow. This is located on our own grounds and conveys a feeling of freedom and lightness.
