Horse riding holidays on a farm: from the first lead to the ride

Horse riding on a farm is quite different from a riding lesson in an indoor arena. Here, the horses are part of the farm; they are cared for every day, and anyone who wants to can help with feeding, grooming, and mucking out. Riding then becomes the highlight of a long day, not just a billed 45-minute lesson.

169 farms offer riding opportunities. The number is unusually evenly distributed across three countries, and 85 of the farms are managed as horse farms, meaning they keep horses as their main agricultural focus.

Horse riding or pony riding, which suits whom?

This page: Horse riding

This refers to horseback riding, either in the countryside or in an arena, often with instruction from the hosts. Horses are kept on 102 of these farms, and on 85 of them, horse breeding is the main agricultural focus. 47 farms are specifically equipped for active vacationers .

This is suitable for those who already know how to ride or want to learn properly, and for adults who want to get in the saddle themselves. 45 farms also offer carriage rides .

For the little ones: Pony rides

Pony rides involve leading the pony, not riding it. The child sits on top, an adult walks alongside, and the group goes around the farmyard or meadow. No prior experience or minimum age is necessary. 177 farms listed on the portal offer this service.

Good news for families with children of different ages: 110 farms offer both . The older children can go riding, the younger ones can take a walk, and nobody has to miss out.

The equipment in numbers

To help you know what to expect besides the horses, we've counted all 169 farms on this page:

Zieglinde recounted

As a pygmy goat, I don't find it particularly exciting that everyone's always looking at the horses. Nevertheless, 17 of the 50 top farm awards for 2026 went to farms with riding facilities. Where there are horses, the guests are apparently happy too.

And here's a tip that will save you money: On 111 of these farms, you can help with animal care. Grooming, picking out hooves, getting the saddle. For most children, that's the best part, and it doesn't cost anything extra.

Where the riding stables are located

Rarely is a stock so evenly distributed: Germany and Austria each have 57 farms, followed by Italy with 44. Tuscany is particularly well represented, where riding holidays on an agriturismo are a tradition.

Frequently asked questions about riding holidays on a farm

When riding, you sit in the saddle yourself, either in the arena or out on a trail, usually with instruction. With pony rides , the pony is led, the child sits on top, and no prior experience is necessary. 110 of the farms on this page offer both, making it the most relaxed option for families with children of different ages.

Not at most farms. Many hosts start with leading the horse and work their way up, while others offer riding lessons or trail rides for more experienced riders. The specifics aren't always clear from the filters, so this is the most important question to ask when making an inquiry. Include your age and riding experience so the farm can immediately tell you what's possible.

This varies from farm to farm and can't be filtered. Some farms offer an afternoon ride as part of the package, while others charge separately for riding lessons and trail rides. Ask about this when you inquire, and also whether helmets and equipment are provided. Helping out in the stables, on the other hand, is almost always free and often the highlight of the entire holiday for children.

On a horse farm, horse keeping is the main agricultural focus, not an add-on. 85 of the 169 farms on this page are managed this way. These farms usually have more horses, the processes are well-established, and the owners are correspondingly knowledgeable. On the remaining farms, riding is simply part of a mixed farming operation.

126 of the farms are open in winter, and horseback riding in the snow is possible at many of them. Whether there's an indoor riding arena or a paved riding area isn't indicated in the filters, so be sure to ask when you inquire. If you want to combine both: 82 of these farms offer tobogganing , and 74 are located near a ski resort .

Dogs are welcome on 77 of these farms, and on another 69 by prior arrangement. Special care should be taken around horses: a barking dog or one that runs into the paddock can frighten them. Mention this when you inquire, and the hosts will show you where your dog can run free and where it's best to keep it on a leash.

Find your riding stable now

Above you'll find all the farms with pictures, information on facilities, and guest reviews. Filter by region or horse farm and contact the farming family directly; a personal conversation is especially worthwhile when it comes to riding opportunities. And if your children are still young, farms offering pony rides will get you there faster.
