Get to know riding pedagogy now

Riding education for children is a playful way of teaching children how to interact with horses while developing their motor skills, self-confidence and social skills. Through horse-related activities such as grooming, leading and riding, children learn through play, but also through contact with nature and animals, which positively supports them in their development.

Certified riding instructor Anna-Lena Gugganig offers riding lessons right here at the family-run farm and has three very affectionate
Horses are available. The farm is located in the picturesque Seidlwinkl Valley, surrounded by beautiful nature, where you can
really unwind while interacting with the animals.

Advantages of riding pedagogy for children:
  • Motor development:
    Riding pedagogy promotes gross and fine motor skills, coordination and balance.
  • Self-confidence and security:
    Dealing with the horse strengthens self-confidence and conveys a feeling of security in dealing with new challenges.
  • Reduction of fears:
    Positive experiences with the horse can help to overcome fears.
  • Social skills:
    The shared experience and cooperation with other children and the horse promote teamwork and social interaction.
  • A closeness to nature and stress reduction:
    Riding usually takes place outdoors and brings children into contact with nature. The rhythmic movement of the horse and the concentration on the animal often have a calming effect and can help to reduce stress.

  • Equestrian Education Session:
    Duration: approx. 45 minutes
  • Guided horseback rides
  • Stable Afternoon

Equestrian sport Embach

In Embach, a special riding experience awaits you amidst an idyllic mountain landscape. The local riding stable offers a versatile program for riding enthusiasts of all ages and experience levels. Beginners and advanced riders can be individually coached here by the experienced Alexandra, a state-certified dressage trainer, and deepen their riding skills in tailor-made riding lessons. Particularly attractive is the covered riding arena, which allows riding without restrictions even in bad weather.

For nature lovers and adventurers, there are guided rides where you can explore the picturesque surroundings of Embach on horseback. These tours lead through green meadows, forests, and offer impressive views of the mountain landscape. A riding lesson is required so that the skill level can be assessed beforehand.

Children are also well catered for: The riding stable offers special children’s riding lessons, where the little ones playfully learn how to handle horses and gain their first riding experiences. The species-appropriate care of the school horses is a top priority. The horses have plenty of space on generous paddocks and regular exercise, which helps them maintain a balanced and friendly nature.
