Do I need experience to participate?

Not for all activities:

  • You can book a private lesson without any experience: we will guide you step by step. Please mention this in the comments when booking via the website or inform the instructor.
  • Yoga on and next to the horse does not require riding experience.
  • Our walking trail rides (minimum 2 people) can also be booked without experience. In this case, one of the two participants must have riding experience, while the other does not.
  • Group lessons and forest rides of 1.5 and 2.5 hours do require riding experience.

For the forest rides, full control of walk, trot, and canter is mandatory. During the ride, the instructor will assess whether your level is sufficient. If it turns out that you do not adequately master these gaits, participation in the trail ride will not be possible. As your spot has already been reserved, no refund will be issued in this case.

What clothing and footwear should I wear for horseback riding?

Please wear long trousers and sturdy shoes with a heel. A riding helmet is mandatory at all times and can be rented from us when booking your riding activity.

Can I bring my own horse for the activities?

Yes, that is possible, but please contact us in advance to discuss the options.

Buitenritten

What is a trail ride at Magnolia Hoeve?

A trail ride is a relaxed forest ride through the beautiful woods surrounding Sint Anthonis. You enjoy nature, fresh air, and the company of our horses. We ride in small groups of a maximum of 4 to 5 riders, ensuring personal attention and a calm atmosphere. Trail rides at Magnolia Hoeve are not about speed or performance, but about relaxation and enjoyment.

How long do the forest rides last?

We offer different forest rides of 1.5 hours and 2.5 hours, including saddling and unsaddling.

The walking trail ride lasts 60 minutes and does not include saddling and unsaddling.

Do I need experience for a trail ride?
  • For the forest rides of 1.5 and 2.5 hours, confident control of walk, trot, and canter is required.
  • Our walking trail rides (minimum 2 people) can also be booked without experience. In this case, one of the two participants must have riding experience, while the other does not.
What should I bring for a forest trail ride?

Please wear comfortable riding clothing and sturdy riding boots with a heel and/or chaps. Do not forget your riding helmet, as this is mandatory. A body protector is also mandatory for our forest rides. Both items can be rented from Magnolia Hoeve and can be added when booking your activity.

Veiligheid en regels tijdens buitenritten

What safety measures apply to horseback riding?

Safety is always our top priority at Magnolia Hoeve. Therefore, we apply the following safety measures:

  • With every booking, you enter into a lesson agreement which must be signed at the start of the activity.
  • Wearing a riding helmet is mandatory at all times.
  • For forest rides, wearing a body protector is mandatory.
  • Every activity begins with clear instructions and guidance from the instructor.
  • Activities are adjusted as much as possible to the level of the participants.
  • During trail rides, the instructor assesses whether your level is sufficient to participate safely.
  • The instructor’s instructions must always be followed.
  • We ride with properly fitting tack and horses that are suitable for the activity.
  • We ride in small groups to ensure sufficient supervision and personal guidance.
  • In unsafe situations or in case of insufficient riding skills, participation may be partially or fully refused in the interest of safety.
Is wearing a riding helmet and body protector mandatory?

Wearing a riding helmet is mandatory for everyone. If you do not have one yourself, you can easily rent one from us. This can be added directly when booking your activity.

During our 1.5- and 2.5-hour trail rides, wearing a body protector is mandatory. This can also be rented from us.

What happens in case of bad or very hot weather?

When weather conditions make it unsafe to ride outdoors (such as thunderstorms, storms, or extreme heat), we will, in consultation, look for a suitable alternative or reschedule the activity.
In high temperatures, we adjust our activities with regard to your safety and the well-being of the horses, for example by taking extra breaks, adjusting the pace or duration of the ride, or, if conditions are too extreme, choosing a different time.

How are beginners guided?

Beginners are guided calmly and step by step, with clear explanations and personal attention. There is always room to ask questions, and the pace is adjusted to what feels comfortable and safe for you.

May I take photos or videos during the activities?

Yes, this is allowed as long as it can be done safely. Taking photos or videos while riding the horse is not permitted, as safety always comes first. Occasionally, we take photos ourselves during the activities, which you may receive afterward.

Workshops en vergaderen

I would like to organize my own workshop at your grounds, is that possible?

Yes, that is possible! We are happy to think along with you about the setup and the possibilities at our location. Whether it’s a small-scale workshop, a training session, or a day combined with horses, nature, or relaxation—feel free to contact us without obligation to discuss your ideas. Together, we’ll explore what fits best and how we can make it happen.

Kinderen en familie activiteiten

From what age can children participate?

This depends on the activity. Please check the activity description for the exact age requirement.

Are the horses suitable for children and beginners?
