IDEAL PLACE FOR RIDES: we’re surrounded by greenery, with many scenic routes.

The Paddock Paradise
The paddock paradise is a housing system whose aim is to increase the horse’s self-directed movement and mimic the lifestyle of wild horses. Both are equipped with wooden shelters, automatic frost-free waterers, sturdy fencing, stabilized areas, shade and natural enrichment. Hay is distributed along the tracks every day. Each paddock paradise has an area dedicated to introducing new horses. All areas are cleaned regularly.
The Paddock with shed
Our 700 sqm paddock with a 20 sqm shelter closed on three sides is perfect for 1 or 2 horses. The paddock has an automatic anti-freeze waterer, sturdy fencing, shade and a hay holder with slowfeeder net. Ideal for horses that can’t be placed in the paddock paradise, or that come from box management and need to gradually get used to staying outside. The paddock and shelter are cleaned every day.
