A riding holiday in South Tyrol that is second to none
All the happiness in the world
The rhythmic clatter of hooves on the gravel path, the gentle wind rustling the treetops, the steady breath of the graceful horse beneath you: a riding holiday in South Tyrol in unspoilt Val Passiria/Passeiertal lets you dive deep into nature and enjoy the harmonious bond between man and animal. You follow the graceful movements of the good-natured horse and enjoy the view from the saddle. Walk through lush forests at a leisurely pace and gallop nimbly across wide meadows – the unique feeling of freedom that flows through you while horse riding near Meran can hardly be put into words.

An unforgettable experience to discover horses in a playful way! Together, we prepare the horse, allowing children to build trust and form a special connection. Afterwards, each child can paint the horse with special skin-friendly colors and decorate it with colorful hair accessories.
