Horseback riding

scroll for happiness

Forsthofgut riding stables

The Forsthofgut is always on the lookout for new specialties. This time we have been inspired by the search for "happiness on earth" - which, according to the German saying, can be found on the back of horses. That is why a riding stable with an indoor riding arena is a new part of the Naturhotel Forsthofgut.

Riding happiness at the Forsthofgut

Grown out of a former forestry business, we feel a very special responsibility for the environment in our nature hotel. We want to strengthen this even more with the riding stable: For us, riding is a unique connection between man and nature. We want to awaken the joy of riding and offer a very special experience. From guided tours of the stables to creative workshops, from campfire evenings to romantic carriage rides, extraordinary experiences await families and nature lovers.

TEAM Riding stable

What would be a riding stable without their horses? Not only Haflinger beauties live with us, but a colourful variety of beautiful horses. Here they introduce themselves from week to week. Who is the boss? Who practices the best tricks? And which horse is the oldest? We'll tell you.

7356993

Ruby - Haflinger | 6 years

As a willing young mare, I am very agile and eager to learn. What am I particularly good at? Through my ongoing drive, I am developing in my athletic abilities and thus growing into a budding athlete. 

7356985

Pumukel -  riding pony | 4 years

As a white grey horse I stand out among the riding ponies. What am I particularly good at? I love to gallop across the meadows and splash around in the water.

7356987

Madonna -  Haflinger | 16 years

A real beauty, I love the camera. With my relaxed nature, I am the calm centre of the group. What am I particularly good at? In the future, I may pull the guests in the carriage and look forward to wintry carriage rides.

7356991

Phoebe - Haflinger | 18 years

With my 155cm I hold the record in the stables. In addition, my calm and detached nature makes me stand out. What am I particularly good at? I am still quite fit for my age and am already looking forward to the many riding lessons.

7356995

Terry - Fjord | 6 years

Among the Haflingers, I brighten up the group as Fjord. I am relaxed and unafraid and go through thick and thin with my passengers. What am I particularly good at? With my appearance and my two-coloured mane I make hearts melt.

7356989

Ibolya - Riding pony | 10 years

As birthday horse I am the future party companion for our little guests. As a lady horse, I am particularly proud of my distinctive coat colour and markings. My weakness, however, is treats. I would even do a trick or two for them.

7337251

Saphir - Haflinger | 6 years

Hello, my name is Saphir and I am a chestnut Haflinger with a height of 150 cm. I'm also called the "little rascal" because I'm always full of mischief. What are my unique skills? I take good care of my little "passengers" and I'm really excited to meet them all soon.

 

 

7337257

Daisy - Riding pony | 4 years

I am Camilla's sister and I am characterised by my dark appearance with white patches of colour. Small and fine - a real little horse to cuddle. What am I particularly good at? I love nature so much that I love to roll over in the ground to everyone's delight.

7337259

Camilla - Riding pony | 4 years

The others call me the "pretty pearl". Well, I am quite proud of my dark mane. What am I particularly good at? Dancing (running) is my passion. Here I like to show how beautiful I can shine as a pearl.

OUR PASSION IS RIDING

Creating unique moments that will be remembered and enriched long after your holiday is our greatest inspiration at the Forsthofgut. This is exactly what we want to achieve with the newly opened riding stables. In addition to riding stable manager Elke Hechenberger, Iris Schwaiger and Michaela Heinzl also want to awaken your joy in riding and offer you a very special experience.

 


The new riding stable is also an appreciation of its own history: when the house was still an agricultural enterprise, there were horses on the farm - and this circle is now closing again.

COMING SOON: Nature Experiences

A relaxing holiday at the Forsthofgut can also be experienced with your own horse: in addition to the boxes used by the hotel's own horses, two further boxes are available for guests and their horses with advance reservation. This allows riders and horse owners to discover the mountain region together with their faithful companion and further strengthen their bond with the animal through special experiences in nature. For those who don't necessarily want to ride but still want to enjoy unique animal moments, we recommend our new nature experiences.

Good to know

For our youngest children, riding is allowed from the age of 2 years accompanied by their parents. For the older rascals, riding lessons are possible from the age of 6 (without parents).

Perfect equipment is also part of a perfect riding experience. Therefore, we ask all riding enthusiasts to come with sturdy shoes and long trousers. We recommend that you bring your own equipment (if available). For personal protection, wearing a helmet while riding is compulsory. Helmet and waistcoat can be rented on-site.

In addition to our horses, we are also home to numerous four-legged friends at the Reithof. Alpacas, dwarf sheep, rabbits, a donkey and much more await young and old to cuddle all year round.

In order to fulfil your riding happiness, we recommend that you book your desired units in advance. We kindly ask you to arrive at the riding stables 15 minutes before your lesson.

The horses are saddled and prepared for the lesson by the riding instructors as well as by the guests (depending on their knowledge). Our riding instructors are on hand to provide support.

Together with a Forsthofgut riding instructor you take the ponies for a walk in nature. A walk alone is not possible.

Arrive & be happy. 

Horse farm Forsthofgut in Leongang

miniGUT & forest playground

The miniGUT is modeled on a real Pinzgau farm and here the children are even allowed to help with feeding and caring for the animals. From the woolly sheep and sweet rabbits to the shaggy ponies, cheeky mini pigs, and curious goats, our small animals are waiting to be lovingly stroked. This summer, our forest playground in the miniGUT will also shine in new splendor. Three different swings, a new seesaw, climbing walls, and many other wooden play facilities make the miniGUT a favorite place for little explorers, where they can play and romp to their heart's content.


When you ride a horse, you borrow a little piece of freedom.
