Ponyakademie's holiday courses


During spring, summer and autumn holidays Ponyakademie offers a varied holiday programme.


The courses provide an excellent opportunity to spend a few intense days with horses and horseback riding and therefore allow students to make visible progress in a playful way.


Our holiday offers are open to all interested children and teenagers.
