We had to close our farm to general visits again. Only the urgent care of the horses, which also includes moving the horses, is allowed from November 25, 2021 onwards. The reason for this is that the Mühldorf district belongs to the so-called „hotspot regions“ with an incidence >1000.
We will nevertheless do everything possible to ensure that you can provide your horses with care at our stables, even with the help of your riding participation. This also applies to unvaccinated individuals, whose decision we expressly respect. Our recommendation is nevertheless: Get vaccinated! The virus will affect you; the question is only whether you are vaccinated or not. Of course, we consider this to be an individual decision for each individual.
However, in addition to our government’s long hesitation, it is also partly the fault of the unvaccinated that we are now in this situation again. One thing remains clear: hospitals must remain able to accommodate patients, even if you have a riding accident, for example.
Overall, I think we are well organized with our app; everyone can see when free times, for example in the hall, are available and plan their attendance accordingly. But I ask you to be considerate of one another, keep it short, and avoid unnecessary attendance as in the last lockdown.
We are not the cause of the pandemic; we have already proven that during the last lockdown. Help us keep this situation the same. Here is an update on visits since the beginning of the pandemic: we are proud to have not had a single case of COVID-19 traced back to us so far and we hope that this will continue to be the case.
This time is not easy for our school horses either. They also need affection, care and exercise. Many thanks in advance to our equestrian participants, who are now compensating for the inevitable longer periods of standing our school horses are forced to spend. If you know anyone else who would like to help us with the care and exercise of our school horses by participating in a horseback riding activity, please let us know. The school horses will thank you.
We will also have to forgo a stable Christmas this year. We find this very unfortunate, because we already had to cancel last year. But we think this is the right decision and we hope for your understanding.
Finally, I would like to make one final personal recommendation. If you are still using this time during the quiet Advent season to spend it with your family, make it as beautiful as possible at home, and spend as much time as possible with your loved ones in the family. With your children, parents, or grandparents. Then, in the new year, at the latest in the spring, with renewed strength and energy, we can all spend a wonderful time together with our horses again.
In this spirit, we wish you all a wonderful Advent season!
Yours sincerely, Gerhard, Your family Preintner
