Terms and Conditions
We would like to inform you about our terms and conditions that apply to participation in our activities. We would also like to remind you that you must sign a riding agreement before each trail ride and a lesson agreement before each lesson. Please note: You can switch to the English translation of the general terms and conditions on the website, but you agree to and sign the Dutch version! The riding agreement and the lesson agreement are only available in Dutch and German (not in English); however, also here it is the case that you must agree to and sign the Dutch version!
In the high season, we are not always available by phone because it can be very busy at our desk then. Please feel free to send us a Whatsapp then!
If you are unexpectedly absent last minute, please give us a call!
