I've spent 3 month on the farm working with these wonderful horses. Huck and his familly were very nice to me, creating a cosy friendly atmosphere from the very first day. Every of the three horses have its own temperament here, which keeps you interested to find the most appropriete ways of training and riding them. And you have an opportunity to try those and to do lots of riding in a lovely countryside as well as the other little jobs like forestry and fencing, and taking care of two adorable dogs and a couple of chicks and ducks. The area is beutiful, I strongly recommend this place to everyone, who interested in training horses and willing to work in a calm familly yard.
