Rijstal Le Cheval - Equestrian sports

Experience the magic of Ameland in a unique way with a beach ride from riding school Le Cheval in Ballum. Guided rides are organised all year round for young and old, letting you discover the island in an adventurous yet relaxing way – from the back of a horse or pony.

What to expect during a beach ride with Le Cheval

• Varied routes: The rides take you not only across the wide beach, but also through the dunes and often back via the beautiful Ballum forest. A unique mix of sea, sand and wooded trails.
• 1.5 to 2 hours of enjoyment: Most rides last between 1.5 and 2 hours and are suitable for all levels – from beginners to experienced riders.
• Small groups, personal guidance: To ensure safety and quality, rides are organised in small groups with professional guidance.
• Also in the evening: During the summer months, evening rides are offered where you can enjoy the sunset over the sea – an unforgettable view.
• Something for everyone: Whether it’s your first time on a horse or you’ve ridden before, Le Cheval adjusts the ride to your level. There are calm walking rides as well as sporty rides with trot and canter.
