Pony riding


Hello kids.

Welcome to our homepage. Where you can find out all about our super programme and the farm estate.
It is called Hof Kirchhorst and has been in the Naeve family for 14 generations.
25 years ago we started to transform the farm into an idyllic holiday venue for riders and pony fans. Situated near the Baltic Sea , our riding school offers you a real fun experience. We make every effort to ensure that you have a wonderful, happy holiday riding good-natured ponies.

Our kind, helpful staff and really friendly riding instructors will do a great job of making you feel at home. I myself, Hans Jürgen Naeve, am responsible for seeing to that. And, as many have remarked, I get on very well with children and young people. As certified groom and stable master / riding instructor and former show-jumping champion, I have learnt a thing or two about riding and horses.

Fun & action



The surrounding countryside is so beautiful, you’ll just love riding out or trekking with the covered wagon. Hof Kirchhorst is in an idyllic spot, away from traffic, surrounded by woods and fields which create a 2.5 kilometre wide green belt. This provides the estate with its own safety zone.
