The team.

The people behind Silver Rock Ranch — with heart, experience and one shared goal: that horses and people are well here.

The horse bug caught me properly in 2008. With no experience at all until then, I worked all the harder on my skills. Only a little later I was competing successfully in many disciplines, above all reining and trail.

My personal goal is to support our horses and young riders successfully and to host shows. It fills me completely to offer the guests of our ranch a thoroughly thought-out place to feel at home.

I have always been a doer and help wherever I can. New ideas and building projects excite me every day, so boredom never sets in.

Horses have been with me for as long as I can remember. As a child I spent a large part of my time at the stable and was around horses every day from early on. Over the years I gathered a lot of practical experience in different yards and developed a sure feel for horses, their needs and everyday stable life.

For many years I was at home in the English riding style. When I moved to the ranch in 2025 a new chapter began and I switched to western riding. Since then I have been a firm part of ranch life and know the routines first-hand.

As stable manager of Silver Rock Ranch I am responsible for organising the yard. Around 50 horses are part of everyday life here — their care, the planning of the daily routine and the organisation of events are things I manage together with our team. Calm, structure and respectful, horse-friendly handling matter a great deal to me.

What I love most about ranch life is the quiet, the closeness to nature, the freedom and the community.

Content horses are the foundation for everything else.

Sindy discovered her love of western riding in 2015 — and has not let go of it since. What began as enthusiasm turned step by step into her profession: since 2018 she has been living her dream at our ranch.

The wellbeing of the horses always comes first for her. With a great deal of sensitivity, experience and respect she looks after every animal individually. Sindy keeps learning and grows with every new challenge. She passes that development and her passion on to our guests too — authentically, honestly and wholeheartedly.

I am a self-employed trainer and have been part of the ranch since 2016 — first as a livery client, today firmly rooted in ranch life. I help with the daily routine and work here as a trainer.

My horse Magic taught me a lot. I bought him as a weanling and we developed together step by step — with mistakes, learning phases, successes and a great deal of patience. That is exactly what shapes my work today. I know that development takes time, that not everything works at the push of a button and that you often have to work on yourself more than on the horse.

I work with young people and adults and value understanding, a solid foundation and fair handling — without pressure, but with structure and honest feedback.

Healthy horses come first for me, and working with them is more than just a job.

Privately my heart beats above all for driving — from pony to heavy horse I feel a particular connection here.

As caretaker I bring in my ideas and practical skills to keep developing our facility.

It matters to me that both people and animals feel comfortable here.

With an eye for detail and a joy in practical solutions I help make everyday life at the ranch more pleasant and our shared place a little nicer all the time.

Some places are more than just a place — they become a piece of home.

For me the ranch is exactly that kind of place.

I have been part of this special environment since 2016 and contribute in the background — calmly, reliably and with an eye on the whole. I help where help is needed and find solutions when something is not running smoothly.

For me the ranch is a place to breathe, to arrive and to feel at ease.

I have also been involved in the club for many years — since 2026 as chairwoman of the board of Silver Rock Rancher e. V.

Community, passion and sticking together mean a great deal to me.

And always at my side: my dog Ares Brutus — my loyal companion, who gives me support and lets my heart come to rest.
