Reitschule 4 Himmelsrichtungen Ahrensfelde with kids

At Reitschule 4 Himmelsrichtungen Ahrensfelde, children can gain their first experiences with ponies without prior registration. During free pony leading, they are led by a parent or companion on a pony through a fenced, roughly 800-meter-long track around the pastures. A lap passes calmly by horses and countryside.

The offer is deliberately kept simple: companions lead the pony themselves, and the farm doesn't provide staff for it. This makes families flexible, but they should bring some familiarity with handling ponies. Sturdy, weather-appropriate footwear is advisable, as the paths can be muddy depending on the season. Riding is at your own risk; on-site signage explains how to handle the animals.

The farm on Bokelrehmer Strasse in Besdorf lies between Itzehoe and Kellinghusen, northwest of Hamburg. Besides pony leading, there is classic riding instruction for older children and teenagers.
