Important information:
- Beginners start off with long lining lessons. They build their confidence with the horse and learn how to sit, move when trotting, and use the reins on our riding ground. Advanced riders practise the art of giving subtle signals, learn more about different breeds of horses, and enjoy the stunning nature of Val Pusteria/Pustertal during rides.
- Horseback rides are available from April to mid-November. Due to icy riding paths, horseback rides are not possible in winter.
- For the wellbeing of our horses, the maximum permitted rider weight for our riding activities is 85 kg.
