Irresponsible treatment of childrenAbsolutely not recommended. The basic idea is quite good, but how can you put children with riding experience on horses that are known to be very skittish and frightened? The children are then not even looked after or led by experienced staff but rather by teenagers who themselves shy away when the horse starts to buck. You can be happy if nothing worse happens to the children if they are thrown off the horse. The icing on the cake was that at the end the child had to go to the horse so that the horse didn't feel bad.

We spent a wonderful mother-child weekend at the Pony Ranch. The time with the ponies/horses was absolutely great. We learned a lot about positive horse training and were able to have a lot of our own experiences with the ponies. The time has passed far too quickly. We'll definitely be back.

Booking request for 1 night for cyclists was rejected. There must be at least 2 nights. It's a shame, so nothing for those passing through as written on the website

Our 7-year-old daughter spent the last weekend at the Pony Ranch Elbstrand and came back overjoyed. She liked it very much.For me as a former rider, it is also important that children get to know ground work and not just sit on top. I think this is conveyed very nicely here and after all, they also smell like riding 😄 My daughter will definitely be happy to come back! Thank you very much ♥️

My daughter went to the pony ranch for the first time and was totally thrilled. She really wants to come back. There is so much heart and soul in it. The idea of connecting the very clean rooms directly to the stable is totally brilliant. The children get to know a different side of horses and, above all, to see the horse as a friend. The supervisors are very welcoming and you can tell that you love what you do. Be sure to keep it up. Just great.

Hello dear Dania, we really liked it. My daughter had a very good weekend. Get out of everyday life! We were both very positively surprised at how dealing with the ponies works and your way of explaining things was also great. You did a great job with the all-round carefree package with the delicious food. Thank you very much 💐 keep it up 👍

Me and my best friend have been going to the pony ranch every year for almost 5 years. It may sound cheesy but I don't know who I would have been without the pony ranch. The pony ranch helped me through very difficult times. I met sooooo many friends and interesting people there. Just the vibe of getting up in the morning and spending time together with horses and people they like. The pony ranch played a very important role in my personal development. You sit for a week with people who are funny and interested in horses. You grow together as a team with people and horses. The team members for the pony holidays are very nice and have lots of ideas. The food is always incredibly good and varied. The horses are handled very calmly and well and no one is stressed or rushed. So to anyone thinking about taking their kids there, DO IT!!! It will experience a lot of things that it will have a positive influence on. It will also give you a much higher self-esteem. I can recommend everyone to go there.(;Leo

My daughter really liked it. For me the most important point is that riding is not the focus. This is about dealing with the horse as a whole and not about “higher, faster, further”. This is rare and our daughter will definitely come again. Thank you for the wonderful time you gave her!

Yesterday we picked up our daughter really happy from a week with great ponies and a great community of children.This is also a week completely without a smartphone and full of great new experiences. We will book again for next year!Our daughter once again had a great holiday at the Elbstrand pony ranch. Dealing with the ponies is exciting and she takes so much with her into her dealings with horses.The team is great and the children enjoy it with all their hearts!
