Events in Ahaus

The "Ahaus lights up weekend" with a market of lights - under this motto, the idyllic town is transformed into a sea of lights. The sparkling magic of the pre-Christmas period invites you to stroll and marvel. The three-day market of lights in the city centre is the perfect destination for this! In the midst of festive splendour and a cosy atmosphere, exhibitors have the opportunity to present their products in charming huts.

On 7 November 2026 from 10:00 to 17:00, the seminar "Riding with a hand horse" will take place under the direction of Elke Waning, trail riding guide (DWA).

The focus is on safe and harmonious riding with a second horse. Possible uses range from training a young or older horse to use as a packhorse to riding out together with two horses.

Various positions of the hand horse are trained, for example next to or behind the riding horse, as well as controlled riding in different situations. This is supplemented by training the riding horse, for example in the event of differences in speed or restless behaviour on the part of the hand horse.

The seminar combines practical exercises in the riding arena with off-road training and concludes with a ride out together.
