Riding With Us
A respectful partnership begins long before you meet the horse.
At Vonfidel Ranch, riding is not performance or spectacle. Horses read human intention long before we pick up the reins. They respond to softness, steadiness, and emotional clarity. Every ride begins with alignment between rider, horse, trail, and land.
This page exists to ensure the experience is right for both guest and horse — and that every ride honours the values that define our program.
Why This Matters
Vonfidel Ranch offers quiet, welfare-first equestrian experiences for discerning travellers. We accept limited guests so the land, horses, and experience remain balanced.
Suitability is not about ability alone. It is about attitude, openness, physical readiness, and respect for the horse. Riding here is a shared responsibility, not a transaction.
The questions below are not barriers, but guides — to ensure safety, dignity, and mutual respect.
Can beginners ride?
Yes — if the attitude is right. Calm, open-minded beginners are welcome.
Is there a weight limit?
Suitability depends on the individual horse and trail conditions. We assess this carefully.
Can children ride?
Children are assessed individually for readiness, comfort, and safety.
What is the riding pace?
Controlled and welfare-first. Pace is chosen by the wrangler.
