Worth knowing

About the participants

For the horse ridingevents we normally limit the number of participants to 5 people. Bigger groups are more difficult to manage. Every participant has to take care of his/her own horse: cleaning, helping to feed and to water and to look at its riding equipment. If you lack experience we will assist you. We expect you to be in good physical condition, but you don´t need to be a real sportsman or woman. Out of respect of the horses, we cannot permit people heavier than 90 kg. It is very important for the group to be honest about your riding experience because the less experienced riders will slow the pace down for the advanced. The guide will follow the rhythm of the participants and not vice versa!
