Have you ever dreamed of exploring breathtaking landscapes on horseback but never had the chance to learn? Our beginner-friendly riding experience is designed to introduce you to the beauty of horseback riding while immersing you in the untouched nature of Serbia. Over the course of seven unforgettable days, you’ll develop confidence, master essential riding techniques, and connect deeply with both your horse and the stunning environment around you.
Your adventure starts the moment you land at Nikola Tesla Airport in Belgrade, where our team will be waiting to welcome you. A scenic drive will take you to our farm, nestled within the serene Povlen Nature Reserve. As the sun sets, you’ll enjoy a delicious homemade dinner, meet your fellow riders, and settle into the peaceful rhythms of the countryside.
After a hearty breakfast, your first trail ride begins. Accompanied by an experienced guide, you’ll embark on a gentle ride to Taorska Vrela, a hidden paradise of crystal-clear springs flowing through lush greenery. This ride allows you to ease into the experience, getting comfortable in the saddle while soaking in the stunning scenery. A picnic lunch by the springs provides the perfect moment to relax before we ride back to the farm, where a warm dinner awaits.
The real journey into horseback riding begins. Before setting out, you’ll receive hands-on instruction on how to properly saddle and prepare your horse, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident. With your newly acquired skills, we head towards Mount Povlen, where sweeping panoramic views stretch as far as the eye can see. Riding through vast meadows and dense forests, you’ll experience the freedom of the trail like never before. We pause for a well-earned lunch at a scenic spot before making our way back to the farm.
The adventure continues as we ride through the rolling Taor Hills, a landscape that feels like stepping into a storybook. With each passing day, your connection with your horse strengthens, and your confidence in the saddle grows. Lunches are enjoyed outdoors, surrounded by untamed nature, before we return to the farm for an evening of storytelling and relaxation.
One of the highlights of your journey is an immersive ride to the ethno village of Gostoljublje, where time seems to stand still. This charming village, with its traditional wooden cottages and authentic Serbian hospitality, offers a glimpse into the country’s rich cultural heritage. After an outdoor lunch, we settle in for a cozy overnight stay, enjoying a traditional dinner in this unique setting.
As we ride back to the farm the next day, we take a different route, unveiling new landscapes and hidden corners of the region. Each trail presents a new perspective, whether it’s crossing a babbling brook, riding through golden fields, or catching sight of wildlife along the way.
One of the most rewarding moments comes on Day 7, when you take an active role in horse care. You’ll learn how to clean a horse’s hooves and independently saddle up before setting off on a ride towards Tara National Park. This final full day on horseback takes you through untouched forests, deep valleys, and dramatic mountain views, giving you a true sense of adventure.
On the last morning, we gather for a farewell breakfast before heading back to Belgrade Airport, bringing home unforgettable memories and new riding skills that will last a lifetime.
