Vacation with your own horse at the Danish North Sea

Combine recreation and progress.
For you and your horse.

Want to get away from it all, but don’t want to miss out on your hobby while on vacation? With Betterhorselife in Højer, we offer you the perfect combination of North Sea tranquillity and intensive training.

Vacation with individual training possible

For us Quality before quantity. We are not a mass operation, but a place for individual learning, biotensegral understanding and wonderful riding opportunities.

Vacation with your own horse

Just bring your partner with you!

We design your stay individually. With us, you’ll find the perfect balance between a relaxing North Sea vacation and effective development in the saddle.

Of course you can also without training and simply enjoy the countryside while riding out. You can decide whether you want to ride out on your own or with a guide.

As it is only a 35-minute drive to the wide sandy beach on Rømø, you can easily take your horse there for a day trip. We will be happy to give you tips on parking and the best time to go, just contact us.

This is how your horse lives:

  • Accommodation: Spacious guest paddock with its own pasture (if required) and shelter (depending on the weather).
  • Supply: We provide sufficient roughage (hay) and water.
  • Concentrated feed: Please bring your own concentrated feed and feed it yourself.
  • Facilities: You can use the wash box, indoor riding arena and outdoor riding arena by arrangement.
  • Fair play: You are responsible for mucking out your paddock and keeping the cleaning/washing area, the hall and the arena clean.
  • Safety: Helmets are compulsory for all riders!
  • Health: The location close to the North Sea with its salty air is also ideal for horses with allergies.

Price for your horse:

25 € / 185 DKK per night (Excl. your accommodation – see below)

Why a riding vacation with us?

Because we offer a slightly different kind of riding vacation. With us you won’t find crowds, but above all:

  1. Exclusivity: We only accept a few guests at a time. So you have our full attention.

  3. Sustainability: You take home fond memories, knowledge and skills that will stay with you.

Still have energy left? Leisure & surroundings

  • Hiking and cycling tours: You can set off from us on countless hiking and cycling tours through the beautiful and varied landscape of the Wadden Sea National Park.
  • Excursions: The islands Rømø and Sylt are only a stone’s throw away. Whether it’s miles of sandy beach, water sports or a fine restaurant visit – everything is possible here. Talk to us on site, we have the best insider tips!

Frequently asked questions about vacationing with your own horse (FAQ)

What requirements must my horse fulfill for a vacation at your farm?

To ensure that all horses on the farm remain healthy, your horse must be free from infectious diseases and come from healthy stock. These are mandatory:

  • An up-to-date vaccination (tetanus & influenza).
  • A valid pet owner’s liability insurance.

Then we work on the ground. Fascia release and correct movement by hand are often more effective than riding for changing movement patterns. You gain just as much knowledge in the process.

You need the lessons:

  • For Groundwork: A whip with a length of 1.60 m (pony) – 1.80 m (large horse) with a short stroke, e.g. a Driving whip or you can shorten the rope of a whip with a long stroke on your own.
  • For Fascia training: If you want to get into fascia therapy, order this fascia wheel in advance. I definitely recommend the fascia wheel for therapists because it is much easier to hold and has a spoon on the back for additional work.
  • Not a must at the beginning, but an urgent recommendation: the Mobility Bridle: The only bridle in the world that motivates the horse via the lower jaw. A real game changer and an essential in my tack room. You can order the Mobility Bridle here.

Yes, definitely. We are independent of the weather, as we have an indoor riding arena at our disposal. So your training won’t fall through even in typical North Sea sloping weather.
