Living, working and having sincere contact with all my friends and my magical horses in respect, love and gratitude together at the Samainhof is very important to me, as well as with nature in all its beauty, tenderness, stillness, vulnerability and unpredictability . It was one of my heart's desires more than 15 years ago to create a nature and forest kindergarten on the farm to enable the children to root themselves in nature, which is so important. We are very happy about their positive development into authentic personalities and about their vitality and creativity, which we can experience here every day.

For me, the Samainhof is the place where everything is possible. I can live all my dreams and visions here, embedded between mother earth and father sky. Something bigger - what holds the world on its hinges - is lived here, finds its expression in togetherness in the community, which carries everything in love. I love my many friends, the children and youth, all beings surrounded by the breath of life. So I live my life here full of gratitude and love.

Working as an educator for over 30 years and now head of an educational center
A few years ago I had the opportunity to move to Samainhof with my horse Hringjari. It is very important to me to belong to this larger community and to contribute my part to the success of the Samainhof community. For me it is exciting to dare this other way of life. I try to follow my impulses. And that's how I get to know myself and other people around me better and better.

State-certified assistant for nutrition and care, many years of experience in the care of children
All my life I grew up among the horses and spent every free minute with them, be it observing, exploring or interacting with them. It is an everlasting mystery - the parallels between man and horse, their nature and behavior. There are so many new things to learn from them every day.

I have had a deep connection with the Samainhof since autumn 2007. And since autumn 2017 I've been working in the nature and forest kindergarten, which I really enjoy. I prefer to be in nature, especially in the forest, and enjoy the contact with the animals and the trees. My daughter loves the horses and has a horse riding participation here at the farm.

In March 2014 I had the opportunity to move to the Samainhof to live and work there with my friends!
Since 2020 I can and may give my support in the nature and forest kindergarten!
It is a joy every day to see the children grow and be together and to support them!
Gabriele Schreiner
Nanny, nursing assistant, many years of professional experience with severely multiply disabled people
I am very happy and grateful to be able to experience a fulfilled life with my friends here at the Samainhof in nature for 14 years now and to meet all our animals every day: horses, rabbits, chickens, cattle, cats and goats and to take them with us to provide joy. Working with disabled children is particularly important to me. I had a severely disabled sister myself and am still very attached to her. Meeting disabled children makes me happy and touches me deeply with all the pain that goes with it.
