Horseback Riding in the Heart of the Alps

Discover Equestrian Education

Equestrian education for children is a playful way to introduce children to working with horses, helping them develop their motor skills, self-confidence, and social competence. Through activities involving horses, such as grooming, leading, and riding, children learn in a playful manner, while contact with nature and animals positively supports their development.

Certified equestrian educator Anna-Lena Gugganig offers her equestrian education sessions directly at the family-run farm and has three very affectionate horses available. The farm is located in the picturesque Seidlwinkltal, surrounded by beautiful nature where you can truly unwind while interacting with the animals.

Benefits of Equestrian Education for Children:

• Motor Development:
  Equestrian education promotes gross and fine motor skills, coordination, and balance.
• Self-Confidence and Security:
  Working with horses strengthens self-confidence and conveys a sense of security when facing new challenges.
• Overcoming Fears:
  Positive experiences with horses can help overcome anxieties.
• Social Skills:
  Shared experiences and cooperation with other children and the horse promote teamwork and social interaction.
• Connection to Nature and Stress Relief:
  Riding usually takes place outdoors and brings children into contact with nature. The rhythmic movement of the horse and concentration on the animal often have a calming effect and can help reduce stress.
