THERAPEUTIC RIDING
Therapeutic Riding
at the Reithof in Hungary
Experience therapeutic riding. Understand horses. Empower people.
Since 2023, therapeutic riding has been an integral part of the Reithof.
What began with initial programmes for children has continued to develop: for children from the local area as well as children with disabilities and their single parents from Munich.
At the heart of our work is the encounter between human and horse – creating space for movement, connection, trust, self-efficacy and personal development.
Since 2026, we have also been part of the Heilpferdeakademie. This makes the Reithof a training centre as well: our intensive courses offer the opportunity to complete training as a therapeutic riding practitioner.
A SPECIAL PLACE FOR
SPECIAL ENCOUNTERS
Encounters that move.
Therapeutic riding has been an integral part of the Reithof since 2023.
Since 2023, we have been working with children and young people as part of therapeutic riding programmes.
Our programme continues to grow. We want to give children from the surrounding area the opportunity to experience horses, while also reaching people for whom such an experience is not something they can take for granted.
A particular focus is our work with children with disabilities and their single parents from Munich. We offer them an intensive stay at the Reithof, combining therapeutic riding, experiencing nature, meaningful encounters and time to relax.
Our Reithof provides a special setting for this: plenty of nature, direct contact with horses and enough time for relationships to develop.
WHAT DOES THERAPEUTIC RIDING MEAN?
More than riding.
The horse as a living partner
The horse becomes a partner in an educational, therapeutic or developmental process. Through its immediate response to body language, movement and behaviour, it enables experiences that can be particularly valuable for children.
Depending on the individual child, this can support areas such as body awareness, balance and coordination, communication, concentration, self-confidence, social skills and self-efficacy.
The focus is not on performance on horseback. What matters is what the child experiences, learns and is able to develop through their encounter with the horse.
The horse is not a therapy device.
It is a living partner.
“Our stay exceeded our expectations. It was exactly what my daughter needed: a peaceful atmosphere without the hustle and bustle, plenty of freedom, lots of understanding and, of course, the horses and the pool. The food was delicious and child-friendly. I particularly appreciated that it was always clear and predictable what would be served. Apart from the riding, there were no fixed activities, so we never felt rushed. The Reithof radiated a wonderful sense of calm, and that sense of calm seemed to rub off on us.”

HEILPFERDEAKADEMIE
Learn where therapeutic riding takes place.
Since 2026, we have been part of the Heilpferdeakademie.
This allows us to combine our many years of practical experience with the training of people who want to work professionally with horses in therapeutic and educational settings.
Our intensive courses offer the opportunity to complete training as a therapeutic riding practitioner at the Reithof.
What makes our training centre special is the direct connection between theory and practice. Participants do not simply learn about therapeutic riding – they experience the work where it actually takes place: with horses, people and in nature.
Our aim is therapeutic riding that is professionally sound, responsible, horse-centred and focused on the individual.
A PLACE TO ARRIVE
Therapeutic riding. Nature. Time. Encounters.
A place for children. A place for horses. A place to learn.
Our Reithof offers space for experiences that go beyond therapeutic riding itself. Time with horses, movement in nature, shared meals, relaxation and the opportunity to simply step away from everyday life for a while.
