"A wonderful stay with excellent service..."

Well prepared whatever the weather

Indoor riding arena with grandstand and all-weather grooming area

The 40 x 20 m indoor riding arena allows you to enjoy riding whatever the weather. Families can watch from the grandstand, which is accessible with pushchairs. In the sheltered grooming area, children can get to know the ponies even when they’re not riding.

Learn horseback riding on holiday

An unforgettable riding holiday

Pony experiences

In summer, you can book a professional riding instructor on all 7 days of the week and in winter 5 times a week. She will teach you how to ride and show you that riding is fun!

During your first trial lesson with floor work, our riding instructor will show you how to handle the ponies properly, groom them, lead them and communicate with them. You’ll learn how to act around the ponies to ensure that you stay safe. During your trial lesson, you’ll discover how to build a lifelong friendship with ponies.

In the first riding lessons, the riding instructor will also show you how to climb onto the pony, sit correctly in the saddle, hold the reins and communicate with the ponies.

During the lesson, you’ll also learn equestrian language and specialist terminology.

Please note that our ponies are not therapy horses. If your children have some form of disability and would like to learn to ride, please let us know in advance so that we can find the right pony for them.

Comfortably from home

Book riding lessonshen

We recommend booking your riding lessons before you go on holiday. Individual lessons will result in greater learning success, as the riding instructor can concentrate fully on the child and the pony.

It’s not only girls who love a riding holiday! We have a lot of experience with our ponies. Here on the pasture, even the youngest guests dare to ride on the gentle backs of our patient and loving ponies.

Encounters to remember

Ponies, rabbits, hens, guinea pigs, cats, and our donkeys Tschibo and Leo are all part of the Seitenalm. Children can get up close to the animals, discover their individual personalities, and often find their favourite animal all by themselves.
