Has anyone ever been to Heiligenblut ???
My OH fancies some winter (horse) riding at a hotel near here in March and it sound slike an ideal opportunity to sneak in a couple of days on the snow.

Hi Dave, I`m sure Jan`s Mrs has some horses at the Auhof in Neiderau but i dont know if she takes people out on a hack, You`ll never know unless you ask.
Just think of it accommadation,Horse riding and some of Jan`s coaching, Now where else would you get a holiday package like that.

Sorry but i thought Jan was qualified,But i have since been told other wise.I know his son was training to be an instructor.Sorry again as i dont want to mislead anyone and most of all cause Jan any problems.

Still not got anything booked yet Dave, But will let you know if i got something sorted :wink:
This is a can of worms but there's no difference between coaching and teaching, if you're supervising people you must be qualified to do so, hold insurance and for most of us hold first aid certificates and have completed CRB checks. It's a bit insulting to the people who do hold qualifications and have invested time and money to get them when people think they can come along and just have a go, ski teaching and other outdoor sports turned professional a long time ago, the days of non-qualified people teaching others are thankfully long over. I recall the description of the coaching and it was no different from the standard and delivery any modern ski instructor is trained for and qualified to provide.
I don't know if Jan is or isn't qualified, I'm sure he'd be happy to clarify, but calling it coaching isn't a cunning loophole to avoid needing a qualification.

Thanks for that Dave - I'll check it out before booking the other one as I'd rather try Niederau for skiing. Probably less of a drag from the airport to!
Cheers

I didn't know that Adele. That Jan is a bit of a dark horse.
Did you get sorted out for Niederau next year?

It's very easy not to understand guys when they can't get their knees together. :wink:
