Trail riding
We can offer you horseback riding accompanied by a guide through beautiful nature. Our trail riding takes place near the ranch, on the picturesque landscape of the Plitvice valleys. You will ride through untouched nature, woods and forest paths, and sometimes you can see forest animals, deer, rabbits, pheasants…
Our horses are in shape, some lively, some more quiet, but all sensitive and each has its own characteristics. There is a horse for each of you. They live a natural way of life in the herd and it is a great joy to spend time watching them and learn about the herd hierarchy.
Riding skills are checked before leaving the ranch so that the guide can select the appropriate trail based on the rider’s knowledge. This riding option is suitable for all ages, from the youngest to the oldest, experienced riders, beginners and those without any experience. Our horses are calm and completely safe for every rider.

Additional informations
One hour of riding is a great opportunity for beginners in riding and those who are new to riding in nature. A great way for family gatherings with children to make your children happy and create an unforgettable experience with them. Also ideal for couples and everyone else who wants to experience riding like this for the first time. In one hour of riding, you will learn everything about horses, learn the basics of riding that the guide will demonstrate and the most important thing we want you to feel the magic of riding in untouched nature. Accompanied by a guide on horseback, you are lined up in a column behind him and following him. For any questions during the ride, you can ask a guide and he will help you. Adults and children over the age of 8 can ride alone, and children aged 5-8 have the opportunity to ride with a leash accompanied by a guide.
We recommend two to three hours of riding to experienced riders who want to trot and gallop in the unseen beauty of nature. Two to three hours of riding can be tried also by those without experience! We will walk on the beautiful terrains of Plitvice Valleys.
Riding school
On request, we also organize riding schools for those who stay longer at the ranch or those who have the possibility to visit the ranch for several days. You can send us an inquiry and we can offer you a program that works the best for you.
One-day trip – Barać Caves
A 7-hour trip on average, with an experienced guide.
Includes 3 hours of trail horseback riding through beautiful wilderness to Barać Caves. Upon arrival, a short break is followed by a tour of the Upper Barać Cave, where a professional guide will lead you along an illuminated path between majestic stalactites and stalagmites (duration 45-60 min). Then, enjoy a rest and relaxation in a pleasant natural environment in front of the cave, while having a lunch package. Afterwards, saddle up and head back to the ranch, riding through equally enchanting nature and different terrain for 2.5 hours.
Barać Caves are a museum that nature has been creating for millions of years. The beauty, fertile land, and fairytale surroundings of Plitvice owe much to the mysterious karst underground, a part of which visitors can explore in these caves. Visitors can discover numerous stone monuments, the former habitat of cave bears, the Dragon’s Throat, the site of the discovery of a bronze bracelet from the Middle Ages, and many other details. At one point, the tour will turn into absolute silence and darkness, so visitors can forever carry with them this unique experience of the underground. The temperature in the cave is 9 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
*The trip is suitable for riders who are able to ride independently at a walk
*Departure time by agreement
*Admission to the cave and lunch package are included in the price
