Properties:
Experience nature on the back of a Finnish horse—the ideal riding horse for the whole family!
Finnish horses stand between 1.53 m and 1.63 m tall and are perfect for both beginners and experienced riders. Whether it’s a group trail ride or a riding lesson in the indoor arena, there’s something for everyone here.
Children ages 4 to 8 can ride for half an hour. For children ages 9 and up and adults, we offer full riding lessons, regardless of experience level. Riders weighing up to 85 kg can ride the Finnish horses.
Please bring a riding helmet or bicycle helmet.
The meeting to assign groups always takes place at 9:30 a.m. at the stables.
It is not possible to join the riding session after this time.
During school breaks in North Rhine-Westphalia and Hessen, we also offer riding lessons on Mondays.
On Saturdays and Sundays, as well as during school breaks (Hessen and North Rhine-Westphalia), you can ride daily without registering! Outside of school breaks, riding is available Tuesday through Friday with registration required by 8:00 p.m. the night before.

Directions
Oberorke is located near Federal Highway B252, between Korbach and Frankenberg (Eder). Free parking! Public Transportation Nearest bus stop: Vöhl-Oberorke Line(s): 501.1 NVV Service Hotline: 0800-939-0800 All routes, including “AST-Taxi” (shared-ride taxi) routes, are listed in detail on the NVV schedule information page—www.nvv.de/fahrplanauskunft Tip for smartphone users: Download the “NVV Mobil” app from your app store before your trip! In general, you should also factor the “AST-Taxi” into your planning. With its shared-ride taxis, the NVV ensures mobility on routes that aren’t in high demand. Instead of taking the bus, you’ll be traveling here in regular taxis or rental cars. AST taxis also have fixed schedules—you simply need to call to request a ride (usually) at least 30 minutes before departure. Please also keep in mind that AST taxis only operate when no regular scheduled buses are running on the same route. Shared Taxi Dispatch Center: +49 (0) 5631-5062088
