About this experience
Happiness on Earth lies on horses' backs
Do you want to understand horses better and experience your first contact at eye level? The “Sniff out horse air — riding & horse experience near Berlin” experience gives you a guided introduction to the world of horses in just two hours.
... right in the beautiful town center of Sputendorf, just 15 km from the southwestern outskirts of Berlin and 12 km from Potsdam Central Station.
The “Eschenhof” is a listed four-sided courtyard built in 1880, which has been lovingly restored in recent years. Horses and ponies live here in species-appropriate husbandry.
Didn't you always want to get in touch with a horse? Learn something about her and your body language? Approach him fearlessly, guide him, clean him and make your first riding attempts?
Our experienced trainers will guide you step by step and answer all your questions.
How does this experience take place?
2 hours in fresh air
After being welcomed by our trainer, you will learn something about the nature of horses, how to behave towards them and what to look out for. Then you get “your” horse out of the paddock together, where it is in its herd.
After tethering up professionally, take a closer look at the horse and get in touch. The trainer will draw your attention to special features and introduce you to the horse.
The horse is then prepared for riding with harrows, brushes and hoof removers - our trainer will answer your questions and be by your side to help. We saddle and separate together.
Then practice driving the horse: How do I make it clear to him that he should follow me? How do I stop it?
The highlight is then a sitting session, with the trainer always staying at the horse's head and holding it tight.
In our small riding hall, you can then guide each other and make your first steering attempts. The trainer does the first exercises with you in the saddle. If you dare, you can trot a few kicks.
After riding, you bring the horse back to the hooker and care for it.
You then bring “your” horse back into the herd — it may have to be fed first.
Finally, your questions can be answered and your impressions discussed.
