Day 1 - Sunday
Riding: No riding.
Arrival after 3pm and check in at the hotel before enjoying a welcome dinner with the group to discuss the week ahead and the horse you would like to ride.
Days 2 to 5
Riding: 3 - 5 hours
Each day starts with breakfast at 8 am which consists of a delicious and varied buffet. During breakfast, you will also discuss the day ahead. At 9am the group will head to the stable where you’ll prepare the horses together and go for a ride.
The daily rides will take you through the forests and heathlands of the island. Riding on small sandy paths through the pine trees, you can enjoy your horses' paces at walk, tölt, trot, canter or gallop – riding here is simply so much fun as the terrain is perfect and there are many beautiful stretches of beach which also showcase the wild and rugged nature of the unspoilt island perfectly. As you ride along the water with the horses, it’s quite possible you might find some amber, and if you don’t find any amber during the ride, there’s another chance in the evening, in the darkness, using special blacklight flashlights that make the amber search even more fun!
You'll be able to enjoy plenty of delicious coastal delicacies including delicious fresh fish. Lamb as well as homemade pizza, cakes, and desserts are on the menu. The all-inclusive package ensures exciting days where you can indulge in the finest treats. Seasonal, locally sourced food and treasures are just one part, but the hot pot will ensure your well-being too.
For the riding tours, a packed lunch will be prepared and on the other days, Helle will take care of providing a delicious cooked lunch for you. Water, tea, coffee, and juices will be available during meals. Beer, wine, and soft drinks can be purchased at our café. Boredom is never a concern here. When you're not riding, you can explore World War II bunkers, visit Denmark’s oldest and smallest school, and even stop by the cosy café known for its delicious cakes.
On the last evening, you will come together once again to celebrate the week and share your experiences and photos with each other. Cherish the memories you’ve made and look forward to meeting again in the future.
Day 6 - Non-riding day
Riding: No riding.
During the week there will be one day when you won't ride. The exact timing of this day will depend on your hosts and the tides.
As a special highlight of this holiday, you will enjoy an oyster and seal safari - a full-day tour that starts at the Kammerslusen lock in Ribe (about a 40-minute drive from Rømø), depending on the tides. Here, the amphibious boat Mandøpigen awaits you. The group will sail through the old lock and into the Wadden Sea. During the tour, you'll encounter various bird species, seals, and if you're lucky, even the rare sea eagle. Docking at a sandbank you will disembark to pick oysters. The team will provide you with waders, buckets, and gloves to do this. The freshly picked oysters will be enjoyed on-site, accompanied by a glass of sparkling wine. In the evening, they will be gratinated with herbs and served with baguette at dinner
