Sanfte Hilfen

Sanfte Hilfe(n), founded by Simone Heck in 2021, is a family-run equestrian facility and boarding farm in Taufkirchen-Vils, set among the green hills of Upper Bavaria. Its approach centers on horse welfare and bringing together attentive care, appropriate feeding, training and complementary health support. Simone Heck’s qualifications include animal naturopathy, equine osteopathy, nutrition consulting, riding instruction in classical riding, and advanced TGT ground training.

The farm offers rehabilitation and schooling for horses needing a careful return to work, including after surgery, tendon injuries or respiratory problems. Its holistic, horse-friendly program considers the animal’s body, mind and diet, and includes corrective training and nutritional guidance, supported by the farm’s own feed line. Sanfte Hilfe(n) also runs courses and events on a range of horse-related subjects, from Working Equitation to yoga with horses, as well as personalized children’s birthday celebrations. In addition, customers can purchase a VetCare laser therapy device for horses, dogs and cats, with personal instruction available at the farm.
