Do you want to turn your holiday on Ameland into a horse riding holiday? Are your pony camp days over, but do you still want to ride a lot during your holiday? Enjoy dune landscapes from the back of a horse, gallop across the beach as the sun sets and riding through the woods. An unforgettable riding holiday with various (beach) rides at our riding stable ‘Le Cheval’, while you can enjoy your further holiday plans besides that! A perfect way to enjoy horse riding on Ameland while being on holiday with your own family, friends or by yourself.
We have recently started offering a riding holiday in addition to our individual beach rides, riding lessons, walking ponies and pension stabling. We offer this in two different variants. We offer a riding holiday of 3 days and one of 5 days. This does not include accommodation, meals and activities. So we only offer different rides. Do you want to go on a (horse riding) holiday to Ameland or have you perhaps already booked a holiday to Ameland? Maybe this riding holiday is something for you! Below you can read exactly what the holiday entails, who can join, what is included and what is not. Curious about the horses? View our horses on our website!
We offer this riding holiday for advanced riders from the age of 16, but also for families with children with experience from the age of 12. Since this is a riding holiday without accommodation and further activities, we can offer this riding holiday both privately and in groups. This is in consultation and upon request.

Depending on the tide, the rides are scheduled during the day. We plan this together while booking the riding holiday. If the tide is right, we try to plan at least 1 sunrise or sunset ride! If desired, one or more days off can be planned in between. During or after the long trail rides we offer coffee, tea and lunch.
Requests for more or a different number of days are possible in consultation. In other words, many possibilities, and you are welcome to ask questions!
