Anyone who sees Johanna Sauber with her horses immediately realises that there is a very special relationship. Based on understanding and trust.<\/p>\n
She can tell anecdotes about each of her 20 horses. Like the one about Big Red: “Once he came up to me very slowly, with his head down, and scratched the ground with his hoof. When I looked, I saw that the shoe was missing. His attitude spoke volumes: ‘Again. Very annoying, I know. I’m sorry.’ Then he poked me gently with his nose. Turned round, took a few steps, looked back at me. Okay, he wanted me to come with him. So I followed him until he finally stopped. He scratched the ground with his hoof again. And what did I see? The lost horseshoe!”[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BuellsPort-Lodge-Farm-Naukluft-Namibia-Horse-Riding-05.jpg” alt=”Horse stallion Big Red horseshoe Johanna Sauber B\u00fcllsPort Lodge & Farm Naukluft Namibia” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”30px||30px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ text_font=”||||||||” text_line_height=”1.6em” link_font=”|600|||||||” link_text_color=”#4b322d” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”28px” header_3_font=”Roboto|300|||||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_text_color=”#876e69″ header_3_font_size=”20px” header_3_letter_spacing=”1px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin_tablet=”||60px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”30px|||” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding_tablet=”||15px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”15px|15px|15px|15px” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”15px” text_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”” header_3_font_size_phone=”18px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” link_text_color__hover=”#8C2D1E”]<\/p>\n
Whether Big Red, Manitou or Miss Marple: each of the horses has its own character, its likes and dislikes, its own life story. And is therefore not really a farm animal, but a member of the extended family.<\/p>\n
Almost all of the horses come from B\u00fcllsPort’s own breeding programme. “High-quality warmblood horses that I raise myself,” says Johanna. “They can move freely within the Kamps (pasture areas of the farm separated by a fence) and forage for themselves. Of course, we provide them with minerals and give them hay as supplementary feed in times of drought.”<\/p>\n
Care and health care are important. Hoof care by a farrier, checking for internal and external parasites and vaccinations. Not forgetting an examination by a specialised equine vet every six months. Including the teeth.<\/p>\n

This familiarisation takes about six weeks. “Then I let the young horse out into the field for another ten to twelve months, where it can romp around to its heart’s content. Only when it is three and a half years old do I start regular riding work.”<\/p>\n
But even this is done in doses, as the horse is not yet fully grown. “There are always growth spurts that make riding more difficult for horse and rider. Then it is advisable to take breaks.” From the age of around four, the young horse is ready for its first ride. It is considered fully grown at the age of seven.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BuellsPort-Lodge-Farm-Naukluft-Namibia-Horse-Riding-07.jpg” alt=”Horses plains montains B\u00fcllsPort Lodge & Farm Naukluft Namibia” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”30px||30px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ text_font=”||||||||” text_line_height=”1.6em” link_font=”|600|||||||” link_text_color=”#4b322d” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”28px” header_3_font=”Roboto|300|||||||” header_3_text_align=”center” header_3_text_color=”#876e69″ header_3_font_size=”20px” header_3_letter_spacing=”1px” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin_tablet=”||60px||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”30px|||” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding_tablet=”||15px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”15px|15px|15px|15px” custom_padding_last_edited=”off|desktop” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”15px” text_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”24px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_3_font_size_tablet=”” header_3_font_size_phone=”18px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” link_text_color__hover_enabled=”on|hover” link_text_color__hover=”#8C2D1E”]The careful rearing and training emphasise the horse and riding philosophy at B\u00fcllsPort Lodge & Farm. “We see riding as part of a two-way relationship between man and horse, based on mutual consent,” explains Johanna. “We do everything we can to ensure that both parties, rider and horse, enjoy their ride equally.”<\/p>\n
This starts with safety and health for rider and horse. It includes the obligation to wear a helmet, the minimum age of six years for children and the maximum weight for riders of 90 kilograms. Each ride is customised according to the rider’s level of experience. Because all the horses have a calm nature and are ridden regularly, even beginners can go on (short) rides.<\/p>\n
Johanna particularly enjoys watching how children interact with the horses. Whether they just sit on them and stroke them (children up to the age of six) or ride them at a walk, with the guide leading their horse by the halter rope (children aged six to nine). An intensive experience of nature that leaves a lasting impression.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/buellsport-naukluft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/BuellsPort-Lodge-Farm-Naukluft-Namibia-Horse-Riding-08.jpg” alt=”Horses rider riparian forest windmill B\u00fcllsPort Lodge & Farm Naukluft Namibia” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”30px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Sektion Newsletter Abo” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ background_color=”#8c2d1e” custom_margin=”0px||0px” custom_margin_tablet=”” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_padding=”55px||60px” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”|||” border_width_top=”1px” border_color_top=”#752e20″ global_module=”3007″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Zeile Newsletter Abo” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ background_color=”#8c2d1e” custom_padding=”|60px||60px” custom_padding_tablet=”|30px||30px” custom_padding_phone=”|15px||15px” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text Newsletter Abo” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ text_font=”||||||||” text_text_color=”#ffffff” text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”||||||||” header_2_font=”Merriweather||||||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#fff” text_orientation=”center” custom_margin=”0px||0px” custom_padding=”0px||20px” custom_padding_tablet=”” custom_padding_phone=”|||” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”15px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
