With plenty of enthusiasm, team spirit, and a passion for horses, ten girls aged 7\u201312 completed a course at the riding school of the Steinm\u00fchle boarding school. Under the guidance of course instructor Beate Schridde, the young horse enthusiasts learned all the necessary skills during the last week of the Easter break to earn their achievement badges at the end of the course. The exam consisted of riding, theory, and ground work. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Various tasks awaited us at the riding stable<\/strong><\/p>\n

The course team\u2014consisting of Sabrina Schneider, Chiara Cordes, Amaia Balzer, Julia Werth, and Anni Bohn\u2014led the participants through various activities each day of the course. Starting at 9 a.m., after a meeting and welcome, the schedule included farm chores such as tending to the horses, sweeping the yard, and cleaning up manure from the paddocks. Then it was time to groom the horses. To boost everyone\u2019s enthusiasm a bit more, a grooming competition was held, with the promise of a grooming trophy at the end of the week. <\/p>\n

Under expert guidance, the horses were then saddled and bridled. Afterward, the girls rode in three groups. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Animal Care<\/strong><\/p>\n

How do you properly care for horses? That was also a topic covered during the training week. Along the way, the participants absorbed the necessary theoretical knowledge. Together, they created posters to help them better internalize the individual topics. The young riders then proudly presented their insightful results to the entire group. Really well done! <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Balanced Meal Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next up was ground work\u2014with ponies and on foot. After lunch together at the Reiterst\u00fcbchen, featuring a specially planned menu, everyone enjoyed some playtime together in the riding arena and in the tent before parents and relatives arrived to pick them up at 2:00 p.m. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Enormous progress<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a really great week with the girls; they all got along really well, and their progress in riding from Day 1 to Day 6 was truly remarkable!\u201d Julia Werth says enthusiastically.<\/p>\n

On the day of the exam, family members watched, and there was a delicious potluck buffet. During the exam, the students had to demonstrate what they had learned under the watchful eye of the judge. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Personalized Support from the Riding School Team<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some of the children were very excited, but thanks to the attentive guidance of the riding school team and their mutual support, all the riders passed their motivation badge test with flying colors and were beaming as they received their certificates.<\/p>\n

The grooming competition prize was quickly changed to medals for everyone, since it was impossible to choose a single winner. Everyone did such a great job and made the ponies\u2019 and horses\u2019 coats shine! <\/p>\n
