Petra M. is the provider of this trip
The provider speaks: English, Bosnian
For a couple of years now our team has been organizing trail riding tours for experienced riders. Sailing on the backs of our horses you will experience the fairytale colors and scents of snowy forests and flowery plains. Our regular morning ride lasts for around 3 hours while in afternoon we take shorter a trip, usually 1 hour. The long canters require the rider to be experienced and in possession of a good riding form. The organized tours cannot excel the number of 4 riders, and the weight limit for a rider is set at 80 kilograms maximum. We also offer custom riding programs for riders who prefer the slow, less dynamic rides and for those who are still novices, eager to learn riding and working with horses (note: this custom program requires the riders to contact us in advance, so we can organize the proper riding plan).
Additionally, for any non-riders we offer magnificent hiking and cycling program organized by our partners.
We look forward to host you at our little paradise!

- TTaoabout provider31 Jan, 2024It's only you, the horses, the guide and the snowy landscape (with doggos trailing behind). Absolutely stunning.
- MMarinaabout provider11 Mar, 2023What an amazing place! The people are fantastic, the horseback riding was exhilarating with long gallops and lots of energy, our guide was excellent and attentive to our preferences, the horses were superb - fast, gentle and impressively enduring. The scenery was the most stunning I've ever seen. The meals they provided were delicious. They go above and beyond to ensure you have a fantastic experience. And of course, we can't forget Freddy, the farm dog - he's the most lovable dog I've ever encountered. Overall, we had a fantastic week and will definitely return in the future.
- RRinkaabout provider7 Feb, 2023Lalalloved this holiday! The people were extremely friendly, the horseback rides were fantastic, offering breathtaking views. The week was filled with active riding excursions, stunning landscapes and peaceful evenings. Each sunset was more enchanting than the last, a sight unlike anything I had seen in Europe. The food was exceptional, especially the hearty lunches after morning rides, surpassing the flavors of home. I will miss this experience but will be back!
