Do you as parents need some time off? Do you want optimal vacations for your children with lots of animals, healthy food, small groups, professional care and lots of fun? Do your children need special care? We offer all this at the ReitTherapiehof STOPPISTÖD.
Our small ReitTherapiehof STOPPISTÖD is located in a quiet and scenically beautiful environment. Here mainly children and young people with and without special care needs spend their vacations. We offer an all-round care with healthy full board and riding, as well as leisure program. The health and well-being of our guests are in the hands of professionals with therapeutic, therapeutic and equestrian training. Our many animals, 2 dogs, cats, sheep, poultry and especially the Icelandic horses and the 5 llamas, ensure relaxing vacations. Excursions, swimming in the Baltic Sea, campfires and bike tours - our offers are extensive and offer the children a lot of variety.
The absolute highlight is of course the daily encounter with our Icelandic horses. Whether on the ground or on horseback - fun is guaranteed. And quite incidentally, a lot of knowledge about horses and riding is imparted. Our vacation children are looked after in very small groups by professionally competent staff. A rhythmical daily structure and the daily occupation with our animals provide the children with security, warmth and safety. From time to time we let the "big city breeze" blow around our noses and go to Stralsund, the world heritage city, stroll through the old town, take a look at the harbor, visit the Ozeaneum or the maritime museum and the children - finally - also have the opportunity to spend their pocket money.
We attach great importance to healthy food and cook fresh every day, partly with farm-fresh products. Our vacation children live in pairs in friendly rooms. All year round we offer therapeutic and remedial riding, further education and remedial treatments on horseback. We are also happy to pick you up from Velgast train station upon arrival. Pick-up from the airport Rostock-Laage is possible by arrangement. We are looking forward to your visit.
