    Description

    My name is Guido and I need help with my stable and my horses. We are located right in Hamburg. Horses are my passion and I have been riding since I was a young boy. Today, I am an experienced dressage rider to high levels and I breed horses! If you are into horses you can learn a lot about horses, breeding and horsemanship during your stay. Also, Hamburg is one of the riding capitals of Germany with many tournaments such as Klein Flottbek in May.

    I am very busy and hardly have the time to take proper care of all horses by my own . I would be very happy if you can help me with the horses and the activities around the stables, e.g.:
    - gardening
    - stable work (feeding and cleaning)
    - bringing horses to the paddocks or out to the grasslands.

    The stable is situated in Hamburg, it´s a 5 minute walk to the next bus stop and you need 30 to 45 minutes by bike to into city center. Hamburg is a great city and last year it ranked no. 10 of the most desired cities of the world. We have the great harbour, lake Alster, St. Pauli and other cool popular districts, the brand new philharmonia right in the harbour, so many theaters..... Also, we are close to the Baltic Sea and the North Sea. And Berlin is only 1.5 hours by train!!

    Hamburg is a great city to explore and offers so much to see all depending on your interest - music, theatre, the harbour, sports....
