The Experience

Welcome to our small trail riding farm at the foot of the Schwäbische Alb in southern Germany! We offer guided horseback rides from one-day tours up to 4-day adventures, with our horses or the guests own horses. We also run a cozy holiday house for the riding guests and via Airbnb. We have a lot of nature, horses, guest interaction, and a peaceful countryside lifestyle in a warm and family-like atmosphere.

My time with Nadine and Sascha was truly one of the best experiences of my life. Nadine didn't hesitate to let me get hands-on with the horses and gave me real responsibilities, teaching me so much. She and Sascha are always available, ready to help with anything, and go out of their way to make you feel at home. I felt welcome from day one and happily extended my stay by another month. The work is demanding but truly wonderful, and there's no better place to ride and spend real time with horses than at Nadine's

I had an amazing time with on the horse farm, it was a lovely experience to be in nature, spend time with animals and connect with some locals. The tasks were straight forward and well explained, and the schedule is made in advance and Nadine is flexible with requests. Nadine and Sascha were such welcoming and genuine hosts, they made me feel comfortable from the beginning. There were some miscommunications due to the language barrier, but Nadine was always keen to clarify and make sure we understood each other. I am truly grateful for this experience, the memories will stay with me forever.

I am so so sad that my time here is up! This is truly a wonderful experience. If you love horses or nature and fresh air I highly recommend this opportunity. Nadine and Sascha are wonderful hosts and they truly make you feel loved and welcomed. All the horses are wonderful too and it is very fun to get to know their distinct individual personalities throughout the month. There is so many great things that I can say about working here and I give it five stars all around. The workload was really light but the company is what truly makes this place shine!

I really enjoyed my 6 weeks with Nadine and Sascha. The work isn't bad at all and you're able to pretty much spend the entire day with the animals. (It's mainly mucking out the stables, feeding and grooming or fixing the fence) Both of them were really kind, understanding and never made me feel bad for asking for advice. They also instantly treat you like a part of their family. I would really recommend it if you want to learn about horses and like to hike on your days off!

It was my first experience of this kind and I must admit I have no regrets. Nadine and Sasha were welcoming and generous. I enjoyed every moment we shared, our conversations and our jokes. The horses are absolutely adorable and treated with lots of love and attention. The cats and dogs are very welcoming and constantly looking for cuddles, which I took great pleasure in giving them. I was able to ride very often, see the magnificent landscapes of this region, and meet other wonderful people whom I hope to see again one day. I was sad to leave, but I cherish those memories.
