Since 2015 Rikke Benjaminsen and Bernhard Schießl have been running their own equestrian facility in Aspach, Austria.

For Rikke, native of Denmark, it was love that brought her to Austria. Her love for horses which started in childhood, learning to walk and ride at (nearly) the same time. 

As a successful youth rider she developed steadily – and her talent and success continues to grow today. She excels as a professional trainer in western riding, with talent and empathy. 

Bernhard took over his parents’ agriculture several years ago and expanded it into an optimally equipped breeding and training facility. Here he can fully implement his extensive knowledge in training, species-appropriate horse keeping, and horse breeding.

He, too, grew up with horses, and has perfected his skills working with various trainers. He has also successfully proven himself at many shows as a state-certified western riding instructor.
