Rodenberg riding facility
● Dalwitz
Gabriel Rodenberg is the boss and owner of the riding facility of the same name at FerienGut Dalwitz. Guests receive qualified riding lessons from him and his staff in English riding style up to medium (M) level and in Western riding.
The youngest riders, from 4 to 8 years old, can learn to ride from the very beginning on ponies of various sizes. The horses are housed in spacious boxes in the riding hall and in the gatehouse stable or live all year round in the pastures of the Dalwitz estate. The box horses are given daily access to the paddock. We pay attention to high-quality feed and fixed times for feeding the horses.
Western riding on Criollos is an alternative to the classic English riding style for beginners, those making the transition and adult beginners. These South American horses, which Heino Graf von Bassewitz once brought back from Uruguay, have been bred and trained at the "La Primera" stud farm since 1992. They are characterized by their robust and very docile nature and are our partners in cattle work. Saddle fit riders can take part in the work with the cattle and help us in the pastures in the spring and fall with herding and sorting. Special courses and riding programs are published on the website of the Dalwitz estate.
Those who prefer a quieter pace can enjoy their vacation in the saddle on extensive cross-country rides through the Mecklenburg ParkLand. Criollos, Quarter Horses, Mecklenburgers, Holsteins, Hanoverians and Oldenburgs are available for riding lessons and rides.
Hunting riders get their money's worth with us. You can experience dog training and hunting behind the Mecklenburg pack on our own and trained hunting horses.
Horse-loving riders can complete an apprenticeship at our equestrian center in the fields of "horse management and service", "western riding" and "breeding".
