In a quiet corner of Croatia, where emerald forests meet hidden springs, your adventure begins. Horses carry you through landscapes untouched by time — from peaceful river paths to mountain trails where the air smells of pine and freedom. The days unfold in rhythm with nature: a carriage ride to an underground museum, a journey into the depths of Barać’s Caves, and picnics in meadows where only hoofbeats break the silence. And if fortune smiles, you may even glimpse the rare white deer that roams these lands.
Between rides, unwind in a serene countryside retreat, surrounded by wildlife and just minutes from Plitvice Lakes National Park. Guided by experienced riders and enriched with local flavors, this journey blends discovery, nature, and the timeless bond between human and horse. Saddle up and let the trail lead you to stories worth remembering.

Great activities. Petra is a very kind person. Thank you! - SSisseabout provider23 Jul, 2022We went horseback riding with Petra, accompanied by our two small children (3 and 7 years old), despite having no prior riding experience. The 45-minute ride around the area and through the forest felt very safe and was a great experience for all of us. The ranch is beautiful, and the horses are well taken care of. We really enjoyed our time there, and the ranch also offers a lovely overnight camping experience.

Horseback riding with Petra was a highlight of our two-week trip through Croatia. The area is stunning, and Petra has built an incredible ranch with her own hands. She was easy to talk to, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience.
