SCANDAL in the riding stable: Why children's dream of riding is shattered!

SCANDAL in the riding stable: Why children's dream of riding is shattered!

On August 12, 2025, events will come to a head at the idyllic Islaanderhof in Löchgau! Incredible equestrian moments and shocking observations take place here. Believe it or not, the stable's proud horses actually include several German champions and a European champion - a true Eldorado for horse lovers!

But not everything is glossy in the world of riding. Amidst this equestrian glory, an alarming trend is becoming apparent: the stable is dedicated to horseback riding, with the glittering world of competitions not being the focus. Instead, fun and leisure dominate the philosophy of riding! The operators of the stable, inspired by the old Immenhof films, teach a style of riding that today scandalously no longer meets safety standards: riding in shorts and without a helmet? Unacceptable!

Helicopter parents and the sad truth

Sensational alert! A shocking observation is making the rounds: “helicopter parents” are buzzing around while children run around without any empathy for the majestic animals. An incredible anecdote from the stable shows the absurdity of our time: children stand in the stables and actually claim that the horse hit them because it wanted to drive away flies with its tail! These worrying developments have meant that no riding school has been in operation for over ten years.

Parents who want to introduce their children to horse riding can now find a variety of options. What is striking is the exorbitant list of utensils that are necessary for the riding holiday. Sunscreen, sturdy shoes, rain jackets – all of this is a must! Who would have thought that the fun of riding had to be so well organized? It seems like packing itself can become an adventure!

The TOP 3 most SENSATIONAL facts about horse riding!

• Professioneller Unterricht! Ab 3 Jahren können die Kleinsten in das Abenteuer Reiten eintauchen – früher war das absolute Utopie!
• Sicherheit oberste Priorität! Während die Helden von früher in kurzen Hosen ritten, ist es heute unerlässlich, mit Helm und geschlossenen Schuhen auf das Pferd zu steigen! Sicherheit ist das neue Reiten!
• Die Rückkehr zu den Wurzeln! Die Reitmethoden sind revolutioniert – viel mehr als nur Turnierambitionen stehen im Vordergrund. Es geht um Spaß und Beziehung zum Tier!

Parents can look forward to excellent care and catering during the holiday season, with their children being well looked after from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The teacher in charge is a true hero even in the Corona situation and is available at any time! But in the midst of this structured care, the question arises: Are the children really just here to have fun, or are there deeper motives?

Riding educates, trains balance and promotes social skills - undeniable benefits! But what does reality actually look like? Can we afford to live in a world characterized by fun and a new, carefree attitude? A disturbing topic that affects us all!

So do we offer our children the perfect mix of safety, fun and equestrian sport or do we fall into the myth of great tournament ambitions? Whatever you decide, the riding adventure remains breathtaking!
