Horse Riding Holidays, Bulgaria

Photo of a horse riding holiday, Bulgaria.

A small country with a truly unique natural environment; a scenic landscape with an abundance of rivers, lakes and mineral springs that are rich plant and animal life. It provides a remarkable experience on horseback whilst learning about local culture, history and their architectural diversity which unarguably makes for an attractive horse riding package. A destination not to be missed by any horse rider. There are programmes to suit both riders and the non rider here including great family programmes!

Bulgaria is known mainly as a country with wonderful seaside and winter resorts and it is definitely true but there is no comparison to the delight of discovering the energy and the beauty of the mountains whilst riding a horse. The horse is the sacred animal for the old Bulgarians and it is still the most natural sight amidst the Balkan mountain ranges.

Blue ridges, deep canyons and caves, torrential rivers, and endless green meadows - endemic birds and plants, authentic old houses, unique ethnographic and cultural diversity and very hospitable and serene people. Bulgaria is truly unspoilt and is a destination not to be missed by those wishing to explore this wonderful country on horseback.

The Balkan mountain range is situated in the hearth of the country, dividing the country into two almost equal parts – Northern Bulgaria and Southern Bulgaria. Horse riding allows to to intimately explore these mountains which offers a bit of everything from; even green meadows, venerable oak forests, tender fir trees to numerous waterfalls, bears, goats, and wild horses. One of our horse riding tours takes you to the highest point of the range, Mount. Botev peak at 2376 m.
