Does anyone know of any stables in the Zurich area (preferably near Zollikon) where I can take horseback riding lessons or lease a horse longterm? I use to ride very frequently and want to get started again after not riding for the past two years since moving here.
ps- I've already checked out the stable near Uetliberg but am looking for somewhere else.
(what was the problem with the one in Uetliberg?)
This sucks, can't anyone get some hard facts/substantial information going in this thread?
Not to put a dampner on what you are trying to do but you will all find it a little difficult to find riding lessons for a couple of reasons.
1. Most riding schools or teachers require that you have your own horse, this also , i believe, depends on the riding that you are learning. I have my own horse ( who is currently injured) and I want to take lessons for her benefit but its rather difficult with out a horse. I finally got it sorted though.
2. Leasing a horse will also be difficult as most people here from what I have seen and experienced are reluctant to leave their horses in someone elses care and this is made worse if you dont speak that local language.
3. I did look briefly at Migros as a friend of mine mentioned that they had classes and with some luck I found the page again

but it would seems that this course is in Luzern....
4 I will ask the people at the stables if they know of or can reccomend a good riding school that will provide horses for you all.
Sorry that I cant be of much more help - hope this helps a little ...
Enjoy

Hope that helps...
I'll check out the Migros school. After a bad fall last year put me in the hospital unconscious I wouldn't mind taking it easy and building up my confidence again.
Thanks for the western link too. I'm sure there are western riders out there but I myself ride English style.
exceptionally nice lady running the stables
speaks English, otherwise I'd have had no chance. . .

They heve their own horses you can use plus a lot of well-off people keep thir horses there. The teacher , Hanny , is fantastic I am told. I know these folks well and they are very nice. I do not ride - horses are too damn big for me.
BUT, I have been wondering if anyone who owns a horse in these stables needs help exercising it???
I grew up with horses, rode for about 15 years, then have had the greater part of the past 8 years off from riding. I would love to get back into it!
If your horse needs some extra attention, PM me please! Thanks!
I did some search myself couple weeks ago on riding school (try reitschule, zürich in yellow pages, or google)...You dont have to have your own horse. Most schools have at least half a dozen, should be suitable for beginners, and all.....Here's what I found

http://www.stall-mattenhof.ch/ is run by a Scottish lady (Carol). I have not contacted her nor have any more information. But if you want someone English speaking...worth a try.....
For horse loaning, or leasing, I found these sites (again google using reitbeteiligung, or reitgelengenheit). Reitbeteiligung is horse share and would involve some cost.

Good luck and enjoy. Hope this helps. I don't have anymore information....worth giving these people a ring, if you are keen....
Does you know of any riding stables in or around Kussnachgt am Rigi? I am relocating there at the begining of October and looking for somewhere for my daughter to ride. I am very experienced and my daughter who is 9 years old has had her own pony since she was three. We will eventually purchase a pony but just want to get settled first.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks
also in thurgau i know the stable pferdehof tiefental which does the same kind of horse leasing http://www.pferdehof-tiefental.ch/
normally horse owners dont like just 'giving' their horse to a stranger. i have a reitbeteiligung in aargau where i pay every month (this is very normal here). i also teach lessons to kids in the saeuliamt on weekends and the owner there would also not just let strangers take the ponies.
I was thinking of a lease or at least getting a horse who you can really work with ....
Can somebody help ? Maybe you would like to share a lease ?
HAELP ! :P
