Horse riding is a skill which anyone can acquire and which the horses enjoy too. There is plenty of time on holiday and so it is ideal that we have a competent riding instructor on hand to help our guests at the Burgstaller riding hotel by Lake Millstatt. Learning the basics of horse riding on our well-behaved ponies and riding horses takes is the perfect experience during your holiday.
Our team is your number one contact when it comes to horse riding at the Familiengut. It all begins with an hour on the lunge where the basics of sitting in the saddle are explained. Those who feel confident can then move onto the track. Walk, trot, canter. Stop. Giddy up! And before you know it, you will feel good up in the saddle!
