Our school horses

Always healthy and lively. He likes to test how serious his rider really is about turning away or whether he is allowed to go straight ahead. Otherwise a real treasure in every respect. Django takes lungeing, individual and group lessons and also takes part in rides.

Adriana is getting on in years and is now spending her retirement with us. As pensioners also need to be exercised, she occasionally takes part in riding lessons, but only in moderation.

Little Mona is our star for beginners' lunges, short walks in the field and also for children's birthday parties. She is considerably bigger than the shetties, but just as fond of children as our shetty ladies, and does a great job with us.

Jack is our therapist. He carries insecure, anxious or restricted riders safely through the arena. He takes part in lungeing and individual lessons, as well as in groups, and he loves the cross-country anyway.

New arrival Lea is something for the advanced rider girls. She is fearless and goes at a fast pace - whether in the field or in the arena. She has enough go to take part in jumping lessons and wants to be challenged at all times. Currently travelling with advanced riders in individual and group lessons and only with adults in cross-country.

Our good old Mina carries every child safely through the grounds of our pony round. She is also present at children's birthday parties in the hall and is always good-natured and patient with the little ones.

Eva is our little speedster. Despite her short legs, she likes to lead the troop on our pony rides and is always highly motivated and very enthusiastic.

Toni is every child's favourite. They learn to ride on him in lungeing lessons and in their first private lessons. He carries them all round the arena or the pony round. As a typical pony, Toni also has individual days when he is full of go and temperament. As a rule, however, he is always good-natured with our youngest riders.

Our little witch is a typical chestnut mare. Sometimes bitchy, sometimes lively - depending on the mood of the day. Due to her size, she tends to be on the trail with our younger children, but also likes to take part in a jumping lesson where she can let off steam. She also always goes along with pony rides.

Micky is our class clown. He always has an idea how to keep us on our toes. Opening lead ropes and clearing shelves are probably his specialities. In riding lessons with the beginners on the lunge line he is always well-behaved and in group or jumping lessons with the advanced, confident riders he is always challenging but charming in his very own way.

Currently on maternity leave, she surprised us with our little Cini-Mini. Who could have guessed that she came to us pregnant. In autumn she will be back in the lunge with the kids, where she is absolutely well-behaved. She also seems to have a hidden talent for jumping.

Skratti is probably the favourite horse among our schoolies. He's never a bit of a mischief-maker and even the youngest riders can ride him well in a group. Unfortunately, due to a gradual eye disease and the associated loss of eyesight, he can no longer be ridden off-road and can also shy around the yard. However, in his familiar surroundings, such as the indoor arena, he is an absolute reliable horse.

He's got it thick as a fist behind his ears! One day he's carrying our beginners through group lessons, the next day he's probably going full throttle in jumping lessons and putting all the other ponies at the yard in his pocket. A true all-rounder, we wouldn't want to be without him!

Often mistaken for a large Icelandic horse, our Karat is a magnificent Konik with a beautiful coat colour. Our clumsy and stubborn horse likes to test who decides which way to go - the rider or him. Therefore only to be ridden by advanced riders, unless he is lunged by us - then he makes even beginners happy with his soft gaits.

A typical mare. Beginner lunging and group lessons are no problem for her, and she also enjoys cross-country and jumping with advanced riders. A typical mare, sometimes a little bitchy - but you can't have everything.

Always well-behaved and decent, Heidi simply goes along with everything. As a vaulting horse, children are also allowed to climb and do gymnastics on her, and she always remains calm. As a riding instructor's horse, she is well-mannered and always well-behaved.

Always hard-working and motivated on the road. As a three-gaited horse, he is an ideal partner for our advanced riders in the riding arena. Rides are reserved for his mistress, as he can sometimes be over-motivated.

You can guess it from the breed: Tessa has go. Although she is already of an advanced age and not the tallest in the herd, she still leads the pack - both in the stable and in the indoor arena. Therefore only to be ridden by advanced riders.
