Are you ready for your horse riding adventure in Transylvania?

A ride backwards in time... Where moving around is still done on a one-horse-power basis, in a rural country going calmly about its business on the fields... A country that hasn't changed much in the last generations, a land where you eat well from healthy and organic farming. This is Romania. And this is Transylvania...

Small groups, caring guides
My groups are hardly ever bigger than eight people, making it possible for each guest to feel not just like any other guest. Here in Transylvania we are cared for by our guides Julian Ross, an Englishman firmly rooted in this land since years, and Kelli Fremming Ross, a Native american descendant from the US. Both are passionate about horses and practitioners of Natural Horsemanship.

Kelli and Julian will give us a new understanding of the horse, through a total immersion into Natural Horsemanship, the new philosophy.


A special ride
Our adventure will bring us across the mysterious mountains of Transylvania, a land of shadows and fear. Or was it sun and smiling people? It just may depend on the day...
For 2006 we are planning the following departures: May 13-21, May 20-28, May 27 - June 4, September 30 - October 8, Ocotber 7-15. Other dates are possible for groups of six people or more.


With Julian and Kelli we will see the mountains from horseback - on horses that are here since hundreds of years.

The local horse
We will ride local horses, of different races: Hutzul, Lipizzan (but not the white variety, mostly brown or chestnut!), Semigreu and Arab crosses. Especially the Hutzul is interesting, as it is from these very mountains. He is intelligent, strong and active.
