During your summer holiday at Gut Weissenhof, you have the option of bringing your horse with you. The guest horse box costs \u20ac38 per day and includes feed, mucking out and use of the entire equestrian facility.

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

Our five guest horse boxes are approx. 12 m\u00b2 in size and bedded with sawdust. Feed is provided three times a day (pellets, oats on request) and hay twice a day. Any special or supplementary feed you bring with you will of course be administered carefully and conscientiously.

In fine weather, the horses have access to two large grass paddocks; when it rains, there is a mud paddock. Turnout is arranged in consultation with our stable team. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

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

Outdoor trail with elements from Working Equitation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working Equitation is a combination of dressage, agility, and trust between horse and rider. Obstacles such as slalom, gate, or bell playfully help to train riding influence and to make the horse agile and improve its composure. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have brought these obstacles out into nature to give our riders the opportunity to leave the four “protective” walls of the riding arena and train their riding skills outdoors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even our youngest riders can master the trail on a lead rein \u2013 experienced riders might even manage the trail at a canter with a little practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
