Concept

The purpose of our organization is to awaken and support a passion for horses, as well as to give low-income social groups the opportunity to experience horse riding and communication with a horse.

Active membership gives you rights to participate in horse's life in all ways, and to get realistic experience of horse owning.

You decide what you do:

riding on a lounging leash
riding on a riding field
forest trail riding
bareback riding
groundwork
social pedagogics
photo sessions with horses
carriage driving
whatever else you have been dreaming about, we help you to organize!

We are not a riding school, we are a family hobby club.

We make accent on stable, continuous relationships between a human and the horse. We pay a lot of attention to horse care and ground work and every our member get to learn it.

As long as horse's maintenance is expensive, doing it together, we give a really wealthy life to a horse and the horse pays it back with his trust and enthusiasm.

Stable financial base gives us possibility to provide horse experience for low-income society groups and to develop new, progressive approaches to horse's usage.

We do not get any profit from our activities and do not receive subsidies. The organization is made for public benefit, and we do not pay taxes. We do not receive salaries and all our workers are volunteers, so we try to help and teach each other on our own. Of course, we help newcomers much more, but we expect them to join our social life sooner or later.

We don't pay any insurances. So we expect from you, our adult members, that you are responsible people, and take that responsibility for yourself, for the horse and its tacks, both morally and financially. We hope that you use common sense and ask if something is not clear. We will gladly provide you with all the information.

We try to give our members as much freedom and variety in their choice of activities with the horse as possible.

We expect from you a responsible choice of these activities and the distribution of the workload on the horse. If there is at least some opportunity to come on weekdays, please do so.

You take care of a horse as your own, and he trusts you, as his owner.

Owning a horse includes grooming, exercising, medicating, training, building relationships, taking care of his tacks, bookkeeping, understanding the entire life cycle of the horse, and cooperating with other people.

And we teach you all this, not just horse riding!
