Wildlife observation at Zabola Estate

🏇 Discover the magic of horse riding at the Barabás Riding Center in Arcuș, located in a beautiful natural setting just a few kilometers from Sfântu Gheorghe, where nature, horses, and the joy of movement come together in harmony. Whatever your age or level of riding, we aim to divulge the secrets of this wonderful sport, and give you some precious hours in the company of the horses. Whether the first lesson of horseback riding (for beginners) or a few hours through forests, hills and pastures (for the advanced), we hope you only take home pleasant memories!  • Pony Instructor: Deák Malvinka  • Horse instructors: Berde Orsolya and Barabás Szilárd 🐴 Children can start riding on a Shetland pony at the age of 3 (and up until age 7-8, or maximum 30 kg). Horse riding can really begin at the age of 8-9, when the child has enough muscle strength and the ability to concentrate for a longer time. Beginners would start their lesson with the horse being on the lead, learning how to sit correctly and doing exercises that help finding their balance on horseback.  🐎 Experienced riders (who can walk, trot and canter) can choose to hack out with a local guide to the fields and woods around the village. There are treks of 1-2 hours, or day rides that include a picnic. The scenery is worthy in every season. 🌲☀️ On special request we can organize longer rides with overnight stops at guesthouses in the neighboring villages. 👧👦 We warmly welcome groups of children from schools and kindergartens, offering them the opportunity to discover the world of horses through: • age-appropriate introductory riding lessons, • horseback riding and pony rides, • educational activities that develop confidence, balance, and a love for animals. ❗️ You need to book in advance to visit. We look forward to seeing you! 🤎 📸 Barabas Lovarda

🐴 "The horse. Nobility without pride; friendship without envy; beauty without vanity. Serves without servility." - Ronald Duncan, writer. You can take the horses of the Vadon Equestrian Club in Câmpul Benedek, a few km from Sfântu Gheorghe, for horseback riding, horse-drawn carriage rides and horse-drawn sleigh rides.
