Sie warten darauf, dass du mitarbeitest. Und trotzdem ist die Tour für jeden was, ob Anfänger oder Fortgeschritten. Das Pferd wird nach deinen Kenntnissen extra passend für dich ausgewählt. Alle Helfer sind super lieb und bemüht, dir das Beste mögliche Erlebnis zu bieten, was sie ohne Probleme geschafft haben!”
