We love our horses as much as you do yours and therefore strive to provide the same level of specialized care you would give for them at your own place. We are not a discipline-specific farm, and welcome anyone, regardless of the style they ride. We believe that one never stops learning when it comes to horseback riding and welcome outside coaches. We are happy to organize some group events for all boarders on our farm, such as a winter pattern-ride group or weekend trail ride, group coaching, etc., interest permitting.
The atmosphere of the farm is laid back and friendly...
If you find you need that 'little extra' for your horse, we are happy to discuss this with you and do our best to meet your requirements.

- "Riding a horse is not a gentle hobby, to be picked up and laid down like a game of Solitaire. It is a grand passion." (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
- Horses are the dolphins of the plains, the spirits of the wind; yet we sit astride them for the sake of being well-groomed, whereas they could have all the desire in the world to bolt, but instead, they adjust their speed and grace, only to please us, never to displease. (L.Salerno)
- Show me your horse and I will tell you what you are. (Old English Saying)
- Success consists of getting up just one more time than you fall. (O. Goldsmith)
- Nature is painting for us, day after day, pictures of infinite beauty if only we have the eyes to see them. (J. Ruskin)
- A canter is a cure for every evil. (B.Disraeli)
- There are two things for which animals are to be envied: they know nothing of future evils or of what people say about them. (Voltaire)

- I've spent most of my life riding horses. The rest I've just wasted. (Anon.)
- The human mind is not rich enough to drive many horses abreast and wants one general scheme, under which it strives to bring everything. (G. Santayana)

My horses’ feet are swift as rolling thunder.
He carries me away from all my fears,
and when the world threatens to fall asunder,
his mane is there to wipe away my tears.
