Does anyone know this place? It's a riding stables in Austria...

It looks like a place I'd be interested in going to for my placement year and I was wondering if anyone knew it and could tell me what they thought of it!

Cheers :)

Horsey uni placement wanted Sept '13 - August '14

Hey all!
I am currently in my second year studying BSc (Hons) Animal Behaviour and Welfare at Plymouth University and next year I get the opportunity to go on a placement year to gain some practical experience with animals before I go back to uni to do my final year.
I plan to work with horses at some point after uni, hopefully in natural horsemanship and horse whispering with troubled horses and so I'm looking to gain as much experience as possible with horses in general.
So...
CAN YOU HELP ME?
Do you own a stud yard, competition yard, trekking centre or horsey related business ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD and would you be looking for or willing to take on a hard working horse lover for 3-6 months (possibly longer depending on different placements) between September 2013 and August 2014?

I have been riding for over 9 years, I owned my own pony for 3 of those years and have had work experience at 2 riding schools so am experienced in general horse care and yard maintenance.

If you would be interested in taking me on or know someone that would, please email me on beanzloveshorses@gmail.com :)

Thanks!

Horses - not just a hobby...they're a way of life!

This video is a must see for people that see horses as a way of life!
I don't own it, I just came across it today and thought I would share it :)

Current favourite breed

I love all horses, but I've always had a favourite breed at one time. Over the years these have included;
The Gypsy Vanner...


...the Thoroughbred...

 ...the Andalusian...


...the Oldenburg...



...and the Arab.

Currently however my favourite horse breed is the Friesian! They're gorgeous, big, black and powerful yet graceful. They're good at dressage but can also be crossed with Thoroughbreds to make good all round sports horses.
Check out these pictures and videos of their awesomeness :D





 

Videos on youtube
Without a doubt they are some of the most beautiful creatures I have EVER seen, I well up just watching YouTube videos of them :P

These aren't my pictures or videos but enjoy them courtesy of who ever took them :P
