Puur Terschelling offers private rides tailored to your needs. They are completely adapted to your wishes and the Puur horse (Friesian or Shire). Whether you're a beginner rider, a 'returner' getting back in the saddle, or an advanced rider wanting to gauge your level; we ensure a suitable and safe experience. Together we create an unforgettable outdoor ride through the island's nature: dunes, cranberry fields, forest and the beach of Terschelling. Always under expert guidance and completely at your pace and in your way.

Good balance
Horse riding is much more than sitting on a horse's back. It's communicating with your horse, from your seat, posture and with feeling. The way you sit and move directly influences the horse's posture and movement. At Puur Terschelling we make you aware of your posture, so you develop a good, relaxed seat. This way you move in balance with your horse and riding becomes a flowing collaboration. Additionally, we pay great attention to developing your feel. You learn to sense how your horse moves and reacts - and what he needs from you.

Beginners go at walk and trot
Advanced riders go exclusively at canter on the beach during a 2-hour ride.
