Get to know horses up close – an exciting excursion for schools and families
School groups and families are invited to a warm and educational excursion to a farm with horses, where nature, animals and real emotions come together in one adventure. This is an opportunity not only to see the horses, but also to understand their world – calmly, safely and in a way that children can understand.

We are a farm where horses are not just animals – they are personalities, teachers and friends. We work with horses every day, learning about their behaviour, character and relationships, and we love to share this knowledge with children, young people and families.
