Chateau Cortils

Do you like horses too
And would you like to experience what it is like to ride a horse or interact with a horse on a gentle and
friendly way? Want to experience how much the horses can actually teach us? Once very
different from an ordinary riding school and this too nicely outdoors in nature!

Then be sure to read on because this is also possible at Chateau Cortils!

If you drive up the castle driveway, you may already see them. The beautiful herd of six horses, which
currently reside in some of the pastures on the estate. The horses become so natural
kept as possible which means they have all the space they need and are always outside. Due to their multifunctional
coat, they stay dry and warm even in the worst weather conditions.

I am Enoah, and I invite you to get to know me and my horses. Everyone is welcome, children
of all ages, including those with disabilities and adults may also come. We go together with my
horses to work. With also plenty of time to cuddle, brush and really get to know
the horses. To then enjoy a nice walk outside on (or next to) the horse.

Who is Enoah?

For as long as she can remember, she, like many, loved horses. And so was Enoah always overjoyed when she
went to visit her great-uncle. Who had a farm with cows and a shetland pony along with them.
While the rest of the family went for a walk, she was allowed to come along on that pony and she loved it.
This was her first experience of riding.
Even though she was only about 5 years old at the time and did not visit this family very often at all.

It has always stayed with her how much she enjoyed these moments.
Out in the fresh air, feeling like a team with your horse and taking on the whole world together.

From the age of 8, Enoah was allowed to take riding lessons at riding school de Hoven in Rimburg.
A unique small equestrian centre for which she is incredibly grateful.
After all, here she did not just learn to ride.
But mostly about communication, understanding each other better and dealing with horses with gentleness.
Here she rode for a good six years.

She then chose to go for outdoor rides more often in her neighbourhood on other people’s horses.
Until she got her own groomed horse, Bibo. Through Bibo, she has started to discover more and more her own way with horses.
And she is so happy that this sweetheart, whom the classes she teaches actually started with, has been in her life since 2014.
Because Bibo is still there, at Cortils in the herd.

Through various courses and, most importantly, through her own horses, Enoah continues to learn.
For example, she spent a year training as a horse behaviour trainer at 2Moons and recently got her driving licence. In spring 2020, it hopes to offer carriage rides as well!

Do you have no experience yet or find it exciting?

That’s no problem. We do everything at your pace and tailor the class to your needs. nothing must.
I initially coach one-to-one so that I also have full attention for you. But it is certainly also possible to come in pairs if there is already a little more experience. If you don’t have much experience yet and would still like to come riding with someone else, I also offer horse walks for 2 or more people with one horse. Riders may then take turns, and those who find it even more sociable can also walk along.
