Program Details

Julia, 44, is a freelance Riding Trainer, and Christoph, 53, is an employed Assistant Professor of Neurology at the Cantonal Hospital St. Gallen. We have no children, but we share our home with a communicative and cuddly cat named Lilly (and some horses!). We speak German, Swiss German (only Julia), English, and a little French.

Julia is an author and a certified Classical Baroque Riding Trainer (Class A). She is also a rider for the Swiss Working Equitation team. As a self-employed trainer, she keeps the horses at a stable just 5 minutes from home. In addition to her daily office and home-based work selling Clinique products, she trains her own horses as well as her clients' horses.

Since we only have personal horses and most of the people we host don’t stay long, we are unable to offer riding lessons. However, you are always welcome to observe our training sessions with horses at different educational levels.

Meals are included. We offer a private, spacious king-size bedroom in our large apartment, and Wi-Fi is available.
