"
If man has ever made a great conquest, it is that
he won the horse as a friend. "
Riding is a form of transportation that
goes back thousands of years.
Once it was the fastest way to get to a destination. It has now become a sport or is used as a leisure activity. Many people have developed a
great passion for equestrian sports and especially for horses. If you are one of these people, you will like this article.
Because even while you spend your vacation in
one of our villas in Istria, you don't have to be without your
beloved hobby.
Everywhere on the
largest peninsula in Croatia you will find riding stables, riding schools and riding clubs, which often have a
wide offer for adults and children. Whether pony riding, therapeutic riding, riding courses or rides through the region - there is something for everyone.
If you want to spend your vacation in one of our villas in
Umag, you will find the
Ranch Goli Vrh, which in addition to its range of
riding courses and excursions also houses sheep and makes its
own cheese - you are welcome to taste it.
If you have found a
villa in Rovinj for yourself, it is worth visiting the
Haber Farm, which supports the Horse Club Sv. Eufemia. The family business offers riding courses, accompanied rides and therapeutic riding and also has a small geno park with
domestic donkeys, goats and Boskarin cattle.
Near
Medulin there is
Samy's Ranch, which offers various routes for organised short or multi-day rides:
forest trails, olive groves, vineyards and the coast is available.
Swimming with horses is a very special experience. The ranch also offers paintball and quad tours.
In
Liznjan you can visit the
Muntic equestrian center at any time of the year. There is a small
riding school for children, riding courses within the arena and rides through the region accompanied by experienced riders.
Barba Tone welcomes big and small riders,
beginners and advanced riders or those who get to know the animals for the first time at any time after a prior agreement. This ranch with riding school and therapeutic riding is located approximately 14 km from
Zminj and Marcana in Barban.
The riding club
KK Accordia in
Labin near Rabac with its young team offers riding courses and walks with horses through the area. Experience the east coast of Istria from this
inimitable perspective!
If you want to get to know
Opatija from a different angle,
Ranch Andeli offers riding courses for adults and children. Pets are welcome here and will be looked after while you enjoy the ride. You can also celebrate
children's birthdays here - the perfect opportunity for an
unforgettable holiday in Croatia!
From the back of a horse you look at the world very differently. So you will see
beautiful Istria and its nature in a completely different way after you have explored it in a trot. Take your time,
saddle up the horses and ride into a new experience that you will always remember fondly.
