Comfort rooms are occasionally available – but not for children’s and youth courses.
If your desired room type is already fully booked, you can let us know in the booking overview under “Additional information” – we will contact you if something becomes available at short notice.
You can also indicate any special room requests (e.g. location, first floor, proximity to friends).
We will do our best to accommodate your wishes – subject to availability.Room requests for children and teenagers
If there is a room request, this can be indicated in the booking overview under “Additional information”.

Questions about the courses
When do I arrive for the course?
Adults can arrive on the day of arrival between 10:30 am and 5:30 pm.
Children and teenagers can arrive all day.If children or young people bring their own horse, the boxes are usually ready for them from 13:00.
If you arrive outside of the regular times, please let us know – we will find a suitable solution.
Riding lessons start the following day so that you can arrive relaxed and get your bearings.What do I need to bring to the course?
Please bring the following items with you: Riding cap, suitable shoes for riding, a narrow belt for your breeches (to attach our radio transmission systems) and in-ear headphones with a jack plug – ideally with an ear hook for a better fit.

Even if a course with an examination is booked, participation in the examination is voluntary.
The decision can also be made in a relaxed manner on site during the course.For course participants who do not wish to take part in the examination, the course content is designed individually.
If an examination is desired, we ask that you book a course that explicitly states “with examination” – only then is an examination possible as part of the course.

For participation from RA 5, we require a membership certificate from your riding club and copies of the riding badges already completed on arrival.
With shortened course times, it is important that the practical and theoretical content of the respective badge is mastered.

A deposit is not required.The bill can be paid by EC card.
