The whole morning was so well organised. It was so good to have an English speaking guide , especially one who was both knowledgeable and very pleasant. You got a really thorough idea of the workings of the place . The demonstration was really entertaining and our 2 granddaughters were spellbound. Excellent value for money. Ample parking. The complementary drink was a welcome bonus!

A great experience. Throughout with a competent and "German-speaking" guide. One must not forget that one visits a "horse breeding" and looks a bit behind the scenes. And close to everywhere! The subsequent dressage demonstration is beautiful to watch and was a lot of fun. Of course, you shouldn't expect world-class dressage here.

Great insight into horse breeding and a special insight into working with the horses. Visitors have the opportunity to be in direct contact with the horses. The employees are always available for questions. I liked it better than the Royal Riding School in Jerez.

Top quality experience for the entire family . I am from Jerez but currently live in the USA. As almost a local I really can recommend it

A really great and well organised morning. Highly recommend!
