Bohinj is very diverse and offers excellent rides for both beginners and experienced riders. Trail rides vary from climbs to smaller hills (Senožeta, Dobrava), to Lake Bohinj, and riding across the plateaus of Pokljuka. All trails guarantee wonderful views of the Bohinj landscape and mountains. Experienced riders can choose other horses in addition to Icelandic horses.
Given the calm and adaptable nature of Icelandic horses, beginners can very quickly (after an introductory session in the arena) master the basics of riding. We recommend 2 hours for beginners – this allows them to learn the basics in the arena and then experience trail riding as well – to nearby Senožeta or to Lake Bohinj. If you’ve had bad experiences with horses in the past, Icelandic horses are excellent therapists for overcoming fear.
The ranch is open all year round, so riding is possible anytime. In winter, we enhance our offer with sleigh rides and the adrenaline-filled attraction of ski jöring or ski towing.
We offer carriage rides for up to 3 people. We can take you to Lake Bohinj. You can also ride in a farm wagon or “lojtrnik.”
Trail riding is possible throughout the year. In summer season, we ride in the morning and late afternoon. During high season (July, August), the horses have one rest day per week, usually on Mondays, but this depends on the weather.
Riding requires advance booking by calling 041 790 297, or you can arrange riding hours directly at the ranch.
All rides are guided. Equipment: long pants and hiking boots. Helmet and rain poncho rental is available at the ranch. Max. rider weight: 90 kg. Riding is not suitable for pregnant women.
