Holidays on Horse Farms in SalzburgerLand
Saddle Your Horse, Get Set, Go!
It smells of saddle grease and stables. Holly, the pony, cranes her neck inquisitively, pricking her downy ears. Two dark brown eyes and a soft neighing say a welcoming “hello”. Here, on our certified horse farms in Austria, you’ll find your favourite horse to cuddle and to go for a ride with. Or you can just bring your own! On our horse farms, the trained farmers have all the riding equipment you need.
Some of our farmers have proven to be skilled “horse whisperers”. Advanced horse riders will also benefit from the knowledge of those who are spending the whole day side by side with these fascinating animals, 365 days a year. Horsemanship - the ability to create a respectful and fair partnership between the horse and the rider, is more than just a term here, on a horse farm. Be prepared to listen, sense, use body language - and get inspired!
Ein GEspür fürs PFerd
Sonja Paul Pferdeflüsterin zu nennen, ist mehr als nur faul kopierte Phrasendrescherei. Die Rosegger Landwirtin praktiziert das „Horsemanship“, also „die Kunst, mit Pferden natürlich, das heißt pferdegerecht und pferdeverständlich umzugehen“. Im Grunde geht es dabei darum, dass die Anwender:innen die Körpersprache des Pferdes verstehen und richtig deuten, um mit dem Pferd gut kommunizieren zu können. Oder in einfacheren Worten. So wie es aussieht, fühlen sich Lotte, Smoky und Sidney einfach sehr wohl am Rutarhof in Kärnten.
BE PART OF FARM LIFE - PITCH IN IN THE STABLES
That’s also part of the deal and you will enjoy it: Grooming, mucking out, picking out the hooves, feeding. That’s how a day on the horse farm starts. Get involved and learn about the daily work on the farm. Help to take care of the ponies and Haflinger horses and lend a hand when everything is set up for the riding lessons. Especially children are dedicated and excited helpers in the stables. What an awesome experience!
Of course, there’s also time to cuddle. Horses are always happy to get a bit of tender loving care. They will give you so much in return. Listen how the pony’s snorting happily as it’s rubbing its head against your shoulder. What a magical moment! Take a walk with Bella, the dog, or pay the little kittens a visit in the barn.
