What does a horse need to learn basic training and other lessons safely?
In addition to the horse’s natural needs such as food, water, light and social contact, it needs a patient, consistent rider who is confident in his own ability. But that’s not all. A big additional point is that the horses need to be comfortable. They must have enough rest periods, free running, but also employment.
That is why it is always nice to see our training horses lying down and obviously relaxed and content in their boxes, the paddocks or the pasture.

Paddock and pasture time for the horses
Whether stallion, gelding or mare, with us every horse is allowed out into the fresh air. In order to offer the training and competition horses enough variety and to satisfy their needs, the horses come outside alone or as a pair.
With the current temperatures, we naturally make sure that the horses do not have to stand outside in the hot midday sun and that they have the opportunity to find a shady spot.

Grazing period
For our pensioners, young horses and mares with foals, the grazing period began some time ago. Even though the horses have access to large grass and sand paddocks all year round, it is always exciting to see how they enjoy their summer quarters. They romp and buck, graze and cuddle. What a (horse) life!
