Who trail riding is for
Horse owners
Riders with their own horse who want safe, relaxed rides in nature, with a guide who knows every path and every trick the terrain can play.
Horses that are nervous outside
If your horse gets excited, spooks or rushes outdoors, we gradually build calm behaviour through communication — without pressure and without force.
Riders looking for company
No one to ride out with? Bring your horse — Tom and Davor lead the rides. Groups of riders are welcome.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own horse?
Yes — trail riding is for riders who come with their own horse. The horse can arrive by trailer, or on foot if you are from the immediate area.
How much does trail riding cost?
The price is arranged — it depends on the length of the ride, the terrain and the number of riders. Get in touch and we'll work it out.
How long is a ride?
By arrangement — from a short hour to a half-day ride. We adapt to you and your horse's condition.
Can several riders come at once?
Yes. Group rides are welcome — we agree on the route and pace so everyone stays safe and comfortable.
Do I need experience riding outside the arena?
Trail experience isn't required, but your horse should be calm under saddle and responsive to basic aids. If you're unsure, we can start with a training session at the ranch.
