Escape Sofia: horse ride through Bulgaria's beauty
Overview
We are all about connection with the horse.
Our horses always come first. Their wellbeing is our top priority: they are ridden no more than five times per week for a few hours a day, and spend most of their time happily grazing in spacious fields. We don’t overuse or misuse them—they are deeply loved and carefully looked after.
For beginners, this is a unique experience. You’ll feel a powerful blend of freedom, relaxation, adventure, and just the right touch of adrenaline. You’ll leave with confidence in the basics of riding and memories that will make you want to return.
For experienced riders, you’ll recognize and appreciate our perspective and treatment towards the horses. Even in mixed-level groups, rides are tailored to your skills. We will give you more freedom because we trust our horses will keep you safe.
My goal is simple:
To offer such a positive, safe, and unforgettable riding experience that you will crave to do it again.
