I was very disappointed with my stay at this horse farm. Unfortunately, the horses, especially Anna, were not treated well, and the stables were extremely dirty and not cleaned out regularly. This made the stay very unpleasant. The trainees Anna-Lena and Sandy as well as the owner were very nice. Unfortunately, due to the poor care of the animals, I was unable to enjoy my stay.

We were at the Fuchsenhof for a week for the second time, our daughter has now attended the course for the riding badge 4. She is very satisfied with the preparation and the process.We parents can also confirm our daughter's joy and satisfaction, as we were present and watched every riding lesson of the preparatory course.As the Vetter family already writes on their website, no miracles can be expected in 4 days of preparation, but the riders must already have mastered the appropriate level for a riding badge, especially from riding badge 5 and higher.There is a daily dressage and jumping lesson as well as theory lessons, so the daily routine is tightly organized. The only point of criticism would be that course participants have to eat lunch during the theory lesson.Mrs. Vetter allocated the school horses and my wife (Trainer A Riding) was particularly impressed by how well Mrs. Vetter allocated the horses appropriately based on a short story and self-assessment of the respective riding student.Of course, horses that are trained in show jumping usually have more “go”, which may be a new experience for some riders (especially when the jumps get higher, ponies in particular need more momentum)We didn't observe that the horses during the jumping lessons were overwhelmed with the task of the jumping course (as someone else wrote), but rather that the riders were not yet confident enough in giving assistance, so that the horses were unsettled by the rider and with them sometimes ran past the obstacle.If the riders were able to implement the sensible instructions of the riding instructors, it was no problem for the horses to jump the required course.In general, we are very impressed with how well-behaved and approachable the horses are. Due to the species-appropriate husbandry (groups in an open stable), the horses are very balanced.During riding lessons, the horses are in the upper 1/3 of the run, so that the riding students can find and fetch them independently. From around 5 p.m. the horses then have free access to the large pasture areas and the paddock area is then properly mucked out every day (With almost 80 horses, a lot of manure is produced throughout the day)What my wife particularly liked was that she observed all the feeding troughs and drinking bowls being cleaned (she had never experienced that in any school stable before)Final conclusion:We have the impression that the horses are doing really well there and that they are balanced.The riding instructors try very hard to guide all riders to the badge (if a rider is obviously overwhelmed, they politely recommend practicing again at a lower level)The extensive theoretical knowledge required is presented and conveyed very well in Mr. Vetter's lessons. Our daughter is a fan of his.The stables are tidy and all employees are always helpful if you turn to them with a question.The apartment was absolutely great, clean, quiet, beautiful location and everything we needed was there.We would love to come back.

Unfortunately, we didn't have good experiences at the Fuchsenhof. The treatment is unloving and harsh. There is a lot of shouting and people being insulted and embarrassed. You don't feel welcome as a guest. The school horses live in open stables, but these are not manure-filled and the animals stand in their excrement. It was recommended several times during the lessons to correct the animals with the whip, especially during the jumping lessons, as these animals, which are probably completely overwhelmed, simply don't feel like it anymore and refuse a lot. The organization during the badge courses is not the best. If you have early hours you don't get breakfast anymore, or you only get the slice of bread that's left. Unfortunately we cannot recommend the Fuchsenhof.

We stayed in the St. Leonhard apartment for a week.There is nothing wrong with the apartment itself, it had everything a rider's heart could desire. It was a dream for the dog, he loved the garden and the area right next to the forest. My children were only moderately enthusiastic about the distance, but we knew that beforehand.Even though we registered too late, Birgit still made it possible for my two daughters to get the riding badge 7. The riding instructors were all very patient and tried to meet the requirements.Jürgen's theory lessons are particularly commendable. I wish every rider had to attend these for at least a week.The horses are herded in an absolutely exemplary manner for a school, something you rarely see. Care was taken with each horse to ensure that it did not overexert itself during the main holiday season.My two daughters immediately made riding friends and wished to see them again at the Fuchsenhof.A big thank you to Birgit and Jürgen, please keep it up!

I did my RA6 there during the Easter holidays, the level of the badge was already kept very low (4 cavalettis when jumping) I found that rather disappointing, also since I had to jump higher for RA7 in my club.The lessons were still okay, although there are certainly riding instructors who have little patience and immediately become loud and sulky when they make mistakes (especially with the little ones I find this very frightening, I can't deal with it straight away, but with children it's a no-go, because I would really hope for improvement)Overall, it was still really okay, and I hope that the next time I stay (for the RA5), any previous “negative” experiences won't be repeated.

We can only report positively about our 4 stays at the Fuchsenhof. We feel very comfortable there and always enjoy our time on the farm to the fullest.The riding lessons are great, we were able to learn a lot of things every time and take them with us. The riding instructors are incredibly nice, respond to requests and explain everything with a lot of patience. The horse keeping is top notch and of course we already have one or two favorite horses. The Vetter family has incredible expertise and it was always very nice to work together.For us, every trip to Seebarn has been a great added value and we will definitely come back :)Best regards from Hanover

We once again had a great holiday at the Fuchsenhof. The horses there are excellently trained and ridden. The majority of the riding lessons were great simply because of the great horses. The riding instructors are very committed, give helpful tips, are happy to help with questions in the stable and have the organizational processes under control. In addition, the animals at the Fuchsenhof are treated in an exemplary manner. The horses live in open stables and you can watch them all day long as they pursue their natural social behavior and live out their urge to move. In addition, each animal is cared for individually, for example with additional food as needed and immediate and professional care should injuries or other problems occur. The horses are correspondingly people-oriented, very pleasant to deal with and they are always happy to come with you from the paddock when they are taken to ride. This also makes cleaning, saddling and caring for the animals before and after riding lessons a wonderful experience with the animals. Of course, horses are living creatures that don't automatically do everything you imagine at the push of a button, and not every day is always the same. Last but not least, hardly any riding student has perfect riding skills. So of course there are times when not everything goes well. But this is completely normal when riding and is part of it. In any case, we were able to end the vast majority of the hours at the Fuchsenhof very happily and with a big smile on our faces. We have all expanded our personal list of favorite horses again! Many thanks to the Vetter family, the riding instructor team and the wonderful horses for a great vacation!

I was there with a friend for a trial weekend to get as much riding practice as possible in one go and to improve the seat.We were able to experience 2 x individual lessons for two people, an advanced group lesson and a cavaletti group lesson.The horses were all very sweet, curious, bright and patient teachers. We had a different horse every hour.The riding instructors held the lessons respectfully and well. Wishes on what you would like to work on were implemented. Tips were also passed on to me in peace. They also knew the horses' characteristics well and were very helpful. You would have liked to have been able to correct it even more boldly.The room was furnished as advertised and very clean!I had a great time there!P.S. Food options in the area are also described on the provider's website.The provider is a Reiterstüberl, not a restaurant.

Since evaluations are always a very individual matter (own impressions, expectations, experiences, etc.), what I write down cannot and does not have to be shared by every man / woman or child, but from my side I can (for me as the one) certainly have something of who understands the matter of humans and animals (professionally), in my personal impression as a guest and participant I only report positive things.The operating family (especially the junior and senior bosses) are characterized by being absolutely friendly, committed and reliable. They make every effort to offer guests and participants a relaxed environment in the middle of a very idyllic and quiet environment.Both the food and accommodation (large family room for single use) as well as the pick-up and drop-off service (for non-motorized guests) to and from the train station were excellent.The highlight is of course the four-legged employees, who are all very calm and balanced (despite many different riding lessons per day). You can see and notice that the operator of the riding school and his team of two-legged employees are doing everything imaginable for the well-being of the horses (almost 80 horses!!!). This is definitely reflected in the behavior of the horses and leaves you with an absolutely good feeling every day.What is particularly worth emphasizing is that the place here is absolutely “authentic” without any frills or fancy.This is certainly because these people are not only specialists but also come from agriculture.So I will always have very positive and good memories of the Fuchsenhof, because the positive impressions motivated me to take further equestrian steps and it will not be my first or last visit there.Many thanks again to the entire Fuchsenhof team with its two and four-legged employees.

The farm itself is fine, but you should think carefully about who gives riding lessons there. The "riding instructor" was terrible, inexperienced and very arrogant. Never again!!!

I got my RA4 riding badge at the Fuchsenhof in February. I did the dressage with my own horse and the jumping with the horse Oskar from the Fuchsenhof. The horses are doing really well there (species-appropriate husbandry, care, etc.). My own horse had a spacious box and there were three paddocks available where you could put your horse. Jürgen Vetter's theory lessons were incredibly great, prepared us well for the exam and refreshed our existing knowledge and closed gaps. The riding lessons were also good and technically correct. You have to keep in mind that it is difficult to get used to a new riding instructor and/or a new horse in such a short time. The only thing I didn't really like was that the dinner wasn't really lavish for so many people. For example, if you were feeding your own horse and came 15 minutes after the meal had started, almost everything was gone and no supplies came to the buffet. The taste of the food was ok. Everything was great at breakfast. There was always enough.

You can't really learn anything from her and during my week the riding instructors were very stressed and so busy with their own affairs that they couldn't really learn anything. You can ride her well, but if you want to learn something I would rather choose one decide on another riding stable. In addition, you are not treated as well as a customer for the money you pay.

As we have done for several years, we went to the Fuchsenhof again this year for a riding holiday, and we really enjoyed it again. You learn a lot in riding lessons and the riding instructors are very nice. The family is very helpful and always listened to our concerns. Beautiful surroundings with a pretty swimming pond where you can also have a campfire and cozy holiday apartments. Great horse keeping in the very spacious open stable. We'll be back next year.

Apparently bad reviews are deleted by the operators for a fee! In any case, my review has already been removed twice! I didn't like it at the Fuchsenhof. I did my RA IV there. The food was at most youth hostel level (mainly fried convenience products). The holiday apartment was clammy and spartan. The horses are doing well at the Fuchsenhof, but the lessons were mediocre. I'm curious when this review will be deleted again!UPDATE 02/24/2024:I just received another email from Google saying that the operator of the Fuchsenhof would like to have my review deleted because I was never a guest there.Every effort is being made to manipulate the ratings!

This year we were at the Fuchsenhof for the fourth time, where our son has now completed the riding badges 8, 6, 5 and 4, as well as the lungeing badge 5.Basically, you should already be able to ride at the level at which you want to be tested. The necessary skills cannot be taught in just one week, nor do you get riding badges for free. During our last stay, two course participants were examined by Mrs. Vetter for RA 8 and failed. The higher RAs are approved by FN examiners anyway.Unfortunately, too many course participants come here who overestimate themselves and their abilities. This wouldn't actually matter if the horses didn't always suffer as a result. This sometimes leads to a certain level of irritation on all sides.The entire Vetter family is highly competent in dealing with horses. Theoretical and practical lessons are given in clear and unambiguous language. This prevents misunderstandings, but obviously not everyone can handle direct words. A rotating staff of employees and trainees provides support, particularly with horse care, and gives lessons in the lower RAs (10-6).The horses are kept in open stables, are healthy, well cared for and are all well trained. We had a really difficult horse here and we didn't notice this with any of the other riders.By arrangement you can also bring your own horse, which will then be accommodated in separate boxes in a separate area.The accommodations are clean and functionally furnished. We don't need anything more than accommodation during the course. The focus is clearly on the riding school and not on the hotel industry. If you just want to vacation with horses, you might be better off somewhere else. Seriously interested equestrian athletes, however, have come to the right place.You can book breakfast as well as half or full board on site for an additional charge. Or just pick up some rolls and feed yourself. In the town of Neunburg vorm Wald you can either stock up in the shops and supermarkets or have a really good meal in some of the restaurants.We will probably come back here for RA 3 in a few years with our own horse.

Apartment very spacious and nicely furnished. The riding stable is well organized and the horses are kept in an open stable in a species-appropriate manner. The staff is nice and helpful. I would come again.

So I have to get something off my chest now, I've been to the Fuchsenhof several times myself and I can't complain!The staff is very competent and pays attention to the horse's well-being!My opinion is that as a guest you just have to be sure of your own level when I come for a badge!On Sunday evening in the meeting for the riding badge you will be assigned the horse. How do you assess yourself as a rider? If one or two of you complain, you should think about whether you are really as good as you say you are and then not with the well-trained horses cope!But anyone who comes to a badge without their own motivation or is prepared to be told/taught by a riding instructor other than their own home is definitely in the wrong place!The riding instructors there do their best in the 4 days that are available to prepare you for the disciplines that will be tested on Friday!I always look forward to coming to the Fuchsenhof, whether for a riding badge or for a week to relax!I will recommend the Fuchsenhof!Super great and beautiful facility with good, friendly staff!

Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the Fuchsenhof at all. We had high expectations, especially because of the positive reviews and the many awards. Unfortunately, they were more than just disappointed.To start, I would like to list the few positive things we experienced:The theory lessons with Jürgen Vetter were very exciting and well structured. School horses are kept in open stables and have plenty of space. The trainees were very courteous and friendly, which was nice.Unfortunately, the time management for the riding badges was poorly thought out, there was hardly any time to eat between theory/riding lessons etc. The groups were also mixed in terms of performance and it was not possible to benefit from the lessons. I can only agree with previous bad experiences in the reviews. The stable owner has a very rude, harsh tone and we felt neither welcome nor comfortable at the farm. In our case too, individual people were singled out and shouted at loudly in front of everyone else. My sad highlight was that both I as a rider and my private horse were roughly and aggressively touched by the stable owner against my will on the penultimate day. My horse was punched in the nose several times and my operated ankle was torn back and forth in the stirrup several times without notice. We were very happy when the exam was over on the last day and drove home as quickly as possible.My personal experience at the Fuchsenhof was anything but pleasant and I can only advise everyone against it. I can only hope that people will work more carefully in the future and that no one will have to go through this experience again.
