Our Facility

Whether it be private lessons, training for your horse, weekend clinics, or helping you find the right horse, we provide professional, experienced service.  We also can make your show or event more interesting with fun, educational Western Riding demonstrations.

We train any breed of horse for western riding.  Each horse is treated as an individual and the training process is designed with the comfort and ideal learning environment for each personality.    We believe in taking the time necessary to provide the perfect training process for each horse and student.  Our facility is an friendly, comfortable place for you and your horse.  We pride ourselves on making your experience with us an enjoyable one!

Because of our location in a beautiful rural village 10 minutes from the city of Aschaffenburg, we have many outdoor areas to enjoy trail rides.  All of our horses are ridden on trail and outdoors regularly.  Because of this, horses get a well-rounded experience, both in our arena and in various locations.

Because we are so active in the horse world, we often know of quality horses for sale.  We often are very familiar with available horses and can give advice and help if you need to acquire a horse.

Recently we sold our broodmares to Dr. Andre Haase, who is continuing to use our lines in his breeding program.  He would be pleased to hear from you if you are interested in procuring a foal.  Click HERE to visit the family Haase.

History of LZ

It goes without saying that we wish to promote Western riding and the western horse here in Europe.  Lorenz Zilch has been involved in the sport since the first western riding shows began taking place in Europe some 20 years ago.   A lot has changed since those days! 

Lorenz is European and European Vice Champion, German and German Vice Champion, Bavarian and Bavarian Vice Champion. He has been All-Around Champion many times, and he is EWU (Erste Westernreiter Union) Champion and honorable member of the EWU.  He is a professional Western Trainer for All-Around Horses since 1992.

 

Sandra Zilch, the other half of LZ-Westerntraining, is a graduated geographer. She always had great interest in dogs and horses. Therefore it was no difficult decision for her to join Lorenz´ business. Besides managing all the other things that have to be done, she is responsible for the Australian Shepherds that are bred to work sheep and cattle.

 

NEWS:  Lorenz has trained the European Champion All Around 2006 (European Championship for Sportsarabians 2006), Martina Aulbach and her horse Cascaya.  Read more about their successes at the site www.western-arabians.de
Congratulations!
