Important Information

Horses are sensitive and easily startled. Stay calm around them and never wave your arms or legs unnecessarily.
Avoid raising your voice unless absolutely necessary — horses have extremely sensitive hearing and can even detect your breathing. Observe their ears to understand their mood and surroundings.
Wearing protective gear (helmet and back protector) is recommended, especially for beginners.
Mute your mobile phone, even though reception in these mountains is often limited.
Do not linger around the horse’s hind legs. Even small movements or passing insects can startle a horse.
Be careful with your feet near hooves. Horses are heavy (around 400 kg), so wear sturdy, full-leather footwear.
Always listen to and follow the instructor’s directions, even if you are an experienced rider. Every horse has its own personality.
Provide accurate information about your weight and age. Hucul horses can carry up to 150 kg, but we recommend a maximum of 90 kg for these rides. Minimum age for independent riding is 12 years (younger riders may be allowed in exceptional cases).
Do not feed horses by hand! Feeding can create bad habits and may lead to biting. If feeding is allowed, throw food to the ground only.
We are not responsible for injuries. Following the instructor’s guidance greatly reduces risk, but courage and a positive attitude are essential.
Before riding, all participants must complete a declaration form.
