Arrive at the vacation equestrian farm, unpack and stroll to the riding arena at your leisure - that's the easiest way to enjoy some well-deserved time off. To sit a bit in the saddle on vacation, improve your riding style, enjoy the closeness to the animal and nature or go for rides, you don't have to travel with your own four-legged friend.

The horses

From the cheeky Shetland pony to robust Icelanders and massive cold-blooded horses to the fiery Arabian or the good-natured Mecklenburg warmblood, the range of well-trained school horses at the equestrian farms in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern extends. The guests learn the correct handling with them from experienced Reitlehrer*innen. It doesn't matter whether you want to sit in the saddle like a cowboy in Western style or spend your riding vacation in the classic English way, whether you are just starting out or are being trained for the next tournament. Riding, jumping, eventing, dressage ... whoever feels like it, can of course also learn how to properly take the animals for a gemütliche Ausflüge and safely direct one, two, four or even six horses from the coach box.

Riding for children from two years

How soft the horse's nose is. How warm it feels when the hands are cuddled under a shaggy pony's mane and how it tickles when such an animal carefully picks up a held-out piece of apple with its mouth. There are experiences that are unforgettable.

For the small horse friends there is in the horse country Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania a lot to discover. Together with mom and dad, the first contact with horses starts at the age of two. Many riding stables have a special offer tailored to the needs and wishes of children. For example, together with mom, the children can bring in the pony, groom it, cuddle it, saddle it and snaffle it. After that, it's off to ride the pony and lead mom or dad, so that the little ones gain confidence and security in riding.

Ältere Kinder ab fünf Jahren can improve their riding skills and saddle strength during vaulting - sport exercises on the horse in all three gaits. Flag, mill or standing on the horse - gymnastics on the horse is a lot of fun for the children and forms the introduction to riding.

Those who are still a bit insecure can also start with pony cuddling or painting. Pony or horse painting is fun for the children, the horses and the enthusiastic parents. Here creativity is given free rein and the horse enjoys the attention and caresses of the children.

Cheerful shop talk

Vacation on the equestrian farm, in the stud or on the farm, that means also to have completely simply times. Of course, it includes sitting in the garden with a book after riding lessons and having a cup of coffee served. Simply relaxing. And if you spend a few hours on the edge of the riding arena letting the sun shine on your nose, or if you stand in the indoor riding arena in dirty weather and watch the other riders train, you learn almost as much as if you were sitting in the saddle yourself.

And last but not least, it is the evenings spent together, the conversations with like-minded people, the cheerful shop talk that make up the charm of a riding vacation. Big attractions? Exciting, energy-sapping adventures? Everything has its time and sometimes less is more. Even after a day spent quietly on a vacation riding farm in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, guests fall asleep in the evening pleasantly exhausted and satisfied. Promised.
