Horse riding holiday in Drenthe
A horse riding holiday in Drenthe, even without your own horse
Always wanted to spend a few days enjoying horses, forest and heathland? At HRC Knollegruun in Schoonloo you combine a stay at the riding school with trail rides and riding lessons. You stay in a log cabin or chalet, or with your own tent, caravan or motorhome on the campsite, and from the grounds you ride into the forest with a qualified instructor.
You do not need your own horse and you do not need to be experienced: beginners are very welcome on our trail rides. You book your stay and your rides separately, so you put together exactly what suits you.
