One of my favourite parts of my visit to amsterdam, staff was extremely friendly and didnt mind us having a look around and took time to tell us about the place. Can see it's difficult for them as having work done but really enjoyed my time there x
Beautiful building and unexpected riding school in the city for me
Beautiful riding school, based at the Spanish school in Vienna
Very beautiful and special. Both if you like horses and / or architecture.
Superb stable, horses obviously very well treated and stable maintained.
Amazing experience is finding in the very centre of the city such an old style, inspiring riding school. You can relax, sip your cup of tea and watch riders just up above the arena. If you like horses, don't miss it
It feels very old ... but mainly the moderately maintained old and not the beautiful old building.
Super nice riding school. I always enjoy riding there
Beautiful buildings and atmosphere. Not cheap to visit though
What a wonderful place! Sweet horses and ponies and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!
It's unfortunate as this place has potential to be quite nice. Disappointed by the lack of formal organization (i.e., basic scheduling). Hopefully this place will get its act together. Not optimistic.
Horses never come outside, have to work too hard and stands is really no longer possible ... Small stable for large mold of 1.80m
I also ride there and it is super fun and the horses have boxes and the ponies and most ponies and horses are super sweet. Only it is a pity that there are no pastures because the ponies and horses can graze there and that is a pity
I think the stables are small! And I heard they don't get much food. You call that MISH
Most beautiful riding school in the Netherlands with very sweet horses!
Beautiful riding school with beautiful stables. But the toilet was really filthy.
Not of this time, horses in stands that never go outside.
Small stab;es, the horses are unable to go outside. This is just sad to see
People are so friendly, and the building is veeeery beautiful, but that is all! It is old, the horses never go out in the street, they don't have a paddock or something, they are dirty and kept without shavings, just on straw... many of horses are just tied all the time... don't go there if you love horses.
It is a fantastic riding school! Incredibly idiosyncratic and sweet horses
The Hollandsche Manege is a jewel in the city! Here you will learn how to handle the horse from A-Z. Who knows, we might need this knowledge soon - if no more cars are allowed in the city, we will go on horseback!
Sympathetic riding manege, my daughter often comes. Sometimes a bit messy in terms of organization ! but a nice place if you like old builings.
A manage with an edge, a very nasty edge.
It is impossible for horses to be in a stable for their entire lives, to be packed with saddles and not to have pasture.
This certainly does not concern horse lovers.
The Hollandse Manege is a shame for the welfare of animals.
How sad and so sad that this is done to horses, bad.
All horses to the pasture!
It are places like these that keep Amsterdam as rustic as it is. Still actively used for riding and nicely located next to the Vondelpark.
A hell for horses, in stands attached to their own manure and urine, never daylight and ees per year with 40 others on 6000m2, just criminal!
Nice riding school. Riding with women's saddle and high tea. Relaxed atmosphere. High tea was very tasty.
Despite the fact that the website stated that they are open on Sundays, it was completely closed there.
Beautiful property! But what a sad sight those horses there! Like to see such special animals in a better environment. Which fits better with their natural instinct. This is really pathetic.
Nice old facility. You know the wing of history. Would like a little more order and order in stables and saddle chambers for higher grades. Nice helpful staff.
Sad intention. And that is what horse lovers call themselves
Super location. Great instructors and horses! Simply amazing!
Oldest and most beautiful manage in the Netherlands. Not super big but a must for horse fans.
Weirdly beautiful building. 140 years old and it shows! Nice cozy staff!
Everyone very friendly. Yes, there is a need for renovation and those who have complained about it need to maybe make a donation for those renovations. I was allowed to go through stable and pet horses when in States it would have been prohibited. Beautiful location and makes me wonder what it must have been like when horses not cars ruled our cities. Yes it smells old but that is history. Yes it smells of horses but it is a stable. If you are a true horse lover and rider you will respect and appreciate.
Used to be my go to place for a nice ride. But I no longer go here its not as modern anymore
The museum is small, the main attraction is to be able to have a delicious coffee while watching the horses from the balcony. All employees are very friendly :)
As a tourist destination this is an interesting find. Tucked away right beside Vondelpark, wonderful architecture, there's lots of history here including a cafe on the second floor (that Mozart once performed at) which overlooks the horse riding area. Call or email ahead of time and to time your visit with a scheduled ride/practise to watch
I did go to the Dutch riding school once. That really was a very long time ago. It's very nice. It has been restored to its former glory a long time ago.
A hidden gem in overtoom and definitely worth popping your head in to have a look at the interior.
Beautiful old stables hidden in the middle of the city.
Watch horses or ride horses in historic Horse Arena
An absolutely fantastic hidden gem of a place, take the time to visit and have a look around the stables and Manege or have a coffee on the balcony overlooking
Ik vind dat deze manege gesloten moet worden. De paarden zien amper daglicht, hebben geen weide om in te grazen en dus ook weinig beweging. Ze kunnen vrolijk zijn en alles, maar vergeet niet dat ze gehospitaliseerd zijn en dus niet anders gewend zijn en/of beter weten. De kleine stallen en omgeving.. het kan niet.. Gebruik het voor evenementen en wedstrijden. Daar waar paarden dan kort in de stallen staan, maar als permanent verblijf zijn jullie in mijn ogen hartstikke afgekeurd.
Wij zijn in dit geval de dierenactivisten?! En alles dierenvrienden? In plaats van commentaar te geven op maneges waar wel alles voor elkaar is.. geef eerder commentaar op hoe het hier geregeld is..
great unknown place in the city, it's going to experience!
Sad that nowadays this can still be a riding school
Not worth the effort to visit. Only the beauty of it was the history and everything seen in 30 minutes. For me, friendliness was far, only kindness at the checkout. Certainly wait 20 minutes until she ordered us. Nobody just left again. A huge disappointment of our trip. Expected more.
Visit in the morning when they go out to train
A building with its baroque style and a good coffee on the top floor where the balcony is to see the track
It does not cost the entrance and you are welcome they are very kind

Although I have had a good experience (hospitable, lovely horses, beautiful environment) with driving through ASR Blok, I still think this is not entirely of this time. The same applies to the way of driving. There should be at least something of spout / paddock; there are too many horses on too little land. Despite good intentions and cultural heritage, it no longer fits with the 21st century to keep so many horses on such a small piece of land in the middle of the city. And unfortunately you would have to conclude that it is no longer feasible.
Since the renovation, stables and rooms. The meadow is in Andijk. Building in restoration.
Beautiful location that can serve as a real museum, but without horses. Now it's a horse's well-being to cry.
No, absolutely not okay for the horses. Are literally 24/7 (if they work) stuck in their own manure and urine. They look unhappy !!
What a special and genuine riding school in the middle of the city.
Neat stables, nice horse atmosphere
Beautiful stable in the heart of Amsterdam. You can enter to see the horses for free. Cafe closed by Corona.
It is beautiful, sweet horses, nice employees, nice place, nice foyer, so the conclusion is that it is a great riding school !!
We have been coming there weekly for a long time. We have previously been to two other riding schools in Noord-Holland, we are staying at the Hollandse Manege. Fun, educational lessons. Sweet, healthy, stressed horses / ponies. And now that the building is being renovated, it will be even more fun to drive there. My advice; are you looking for a riding school take a look here!
For renting spaces. Suffering from horse stench. No room to sit outside. Wouldn't rent it so soon ..
Really a great place for house riding. Clearly old and with a rich history. But badly needs renovation.
Next to the city center of Amsterdam horse stalls with some glorious buildings and atmosphere
Super nice riding school! The atmosphere is very cozy. And good instructors. Furthermore, the stables may be a bit small, but that will change !! They get boxes
Very nice riding school, very friendly staff and good lessons
Nice location, but outrageous that there are still horses in 2020. Thick insufficient for horse welfare.
Riding school located in a building of neoclassical architecture. Free entrance
For horsemen the place must be seen! Understand what the European quality of training is.
The site is super cool and more if you like horses, with the entrance of 8 they invite you to a tea from an elevated terrace while you watch how they train, great.
The manage is one of the most beautiful places in Amsterdam. The professional and friendly staff deal with the horses with a lot of knowledge and love. This is truly a gem in this city!
Need something to be done about animal welfare ... Really to howl.
The riding school houses a small collection of historical exhibits. Otherwise you can visit the historic building and the stables as well as the horses. The staff is very nice and happy to provide information.
With the entrance fee you support the preservation of the building - besides, a hot drink is included in the cafe - visit the gallery!
After all, a tea or coffee was included in the entrance fee, that was the only good thing.
The building is in need of renovation, the attitude of the horses is appalling. I really hope that they only stay connected during the day and that their real home is somewhere else, but there is no information about that.
Definitely disappointing and not recommended
1 poor handling of horse welfare
2 riders are happy but horses are not
3 horses NEVER COME OUT
4. Not good stables
5 disguise everything
6. Lessons good buy
7 quantity instead of quality
8 horses only have a loose throw in the box
9 never have a holiday and are standing
10 oh well you have a low income please do not look for this one but a better man who does well
11 only nice pictures they show
12 the truth is withheld
Do those horses ever see the outdoors and grass at all?
Wonderfully back in time this must continue to exist
Not open. Builders are in. No signs on door or on website. Thanks for the walk.
