Nottuln
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (8 reviews)
"Tolle unkomplizierte Kommunikation mit den Gastgebern. Unsere 12-jährige Tochter wurde herzlich in die familiäre, kleine Stallgemeinschaft aufgenommen und durfte ihrem Wissensstand entsprechend mithelfen und reiten. Für "perdenarrische Mädchen" ein Traum. Die Pferde sind sehr brav. Man merkt, dass sie artgerecht gehalten und viel vom Boden aus gearbeitet werden."
