Șinca Nouă- Horseback Holiday for Advanced Riders (3 Nights)
About this experience
4 Days & 3 Nights package for 1 person*, including: 3 x Nights Accommodation at Equus Silvania 3 x Breakfast 3 x Dinner 3 x Horse Advanced Rides *Maximum number of people: 7 If you love horses and have reached a certain level of riding that includes body control and balance, this holiday is designed for you. The rides will lead you through meadows and forests of the Carpathian Mountains and their foothills between 500 and 1,000 m in altitude. We ride mainly on grass-covered paths and trails or on forest roads. Sometimes, we come across tracks or markings of bears, occasionally even of wolves. To protect our horse’s joints, we dismount and lead the horses on steep descents. During the two-day camping trip, we traverse some beautiful forests before we reach a mountain settlement, where people still live a very simple life, without electricity and running water. In the vicinity of one of these mountain farms, on a ridgetop meadow with a stunning view, we set camp and together enjoy a barbecue and campfire late in the evening. Endless forests and spectacular views are the characteristics of this trip. On one of the evenings, you have the opportunity to watch wild brown bears in their natural habitat from a wildlife watching hide tucked away in the forest. We ride in groups of up to 8 people and are accompanied by two guides. We cover between 20 and 30 km daily, which takes us six to seven hours including a lunch break on a scenic spot in between. The rides are a good mix of walking, trotting, and cantering. Our centre-based rides are not suitable for beginners, participants have to be competent in all paces. For safety reasons we require safety helmets to be worn on all our rides. Maximum weight limit is 95 kg. Highlights: Your days will start with a delicious breakfast including a selection of fine organic home-made jams, honey from neighboring bee-hives, a variety of home-made cold-cuts from our own animals, fresh eggs and produce from our own garden as well as fresh home-baked bread and pastries. Enjoy our experienced, forward-going, and keen horses and travel on horseback through the ancient meadows and forests, while taking in the authentic rural life that the locals still live here. On every riding day, you will spend about 4-5 hours in the saddle. We appreciate lunch in free nature, the perfect possibility for you to reload your body with energy in a spectacular environment. Enjoy light meals which you can make yourselves in the morning from the breakfast table. Every evening you spend at the guesthouse we will close the day with a delicious dining event consisting of 3 courses served with their matching organic Romanian beverages.
