Since we take about 20 people at a time in WINTER, the riding training really becomes an elite individual riding school. We divide the group additionally into 4 sub-groups of 4 people each, so that each rider is in his/her own group of advancement and ALWAYS under the supervision of an instructor.
Rides with us are always conducted by certified instructors and there is no situation where children are driving others! Both here and in the gallery, note that practically no photo shows a host of horses. Almost always (unless the exercise requires it) you ride individually, causing the horse yourself and learning its individual behavior. Almost everyone has met the situation where, after months of riding, he was surprised to find that he does not know how to ride the horse out of the depot… This is prevented at the very beginning :). After that it is only easier 馃檪
There are almost 馃檪 6 rooms at the disposal of our guests, all of which are provided with bathrooms and other necessary equipment :). Some even have windows :). We can certainly also boast of a fantastic kitchen :). Each course is individual, so just like the rides, the meals are prepared to the taste of our guests. Within reason of course :). ALSO ESTEEMED STUDENTS – THIS IS NOT AN EXERCISE . ON THE DAY OF ARRIVAL YOU YOURSELF DESIGN THE MENU FOR THE WEEK.
If the future participant is not a fan of horseback riding, he will certainly get extremely tired with us 馃檪 . We spend with the horses, by them, on them, in and around the stable even up to 7 h a day, also it looks like a course for… really fierce riders 馃檪 . Of course, the necessary minimum is 3 h of riding per day, the rest of the activities at the horses is (like taxes) purely voluntary… 馃檪 .
Every ride is ALWAYS led by a certified instructor or trainer, and during those few moments when you have a break from the horses, there are always two more tutors – or two tutors 馃檪 … EXCELLENTFCOFCUF? 馃槈 . We practice from dawn to dusk, and actually many times after dusk 馃檪 also. Certainly with us you have to try very hard to get bored 馃檪 .
Each weekly module is a MINIMUM!!! 2,5 h a day of intensive training in the saddle, learning and having fun. In addition, there is saddling, cleaning and preparing horses for riding, preparing meals and feeding and watering the animals. All of this adds up to a total of 5-6 hours at the horses so… there is not much room with us for people who are unsure of their love for horses.
Each person who comes for a period longer than a week is guaranteed to continue his/her training tailored to his/her skills – there is NO SITUATION THAT HE/sHE IS TRYING THE SAME THING FOR 3 WEEKS.
A standard day looks as follows:
Wake up at 7:45 for the first 5 people who want to help in the stables. At 8.00 to the horses and we prepare a meal for them. Here the whole ceremony with learning about the rations, composition and feed additives for each horse. When we let the horses out to pasture we go to breakfast. This will be at 9 am.
At 10:00 the first two groups march to the horses, saddle them up and we start the manege. The first ride, of course, is mainly to get to know you and your riding skills. At 12.00 a change of groups and we tire out the next ones 馃檪 . At 13.15 the end of the rides, at 14.00 we have lunch and immediately after that we dash to the horses. Before you go to the field. Always with an instructor, on really good horses, in the second largest forest complex in Poland – and this is really an adventure.
Around 19:00-20:00 dinner – this time, exceptionally, we go first 馃檪 and only around 21:00 we set off to feed the horses. Then we already have time for ourselves 馃檪
Every such week is not “something there” on the manege! Depending on the weather, the sophistication of the participants and their willingness, we conduct very different rides. Thanks to our extensive experience and authorizations, we offer you a really wide range of classes with horses. From the basics of dressage, through elements of jumping to the basics of natural techniques. Basics because even a vacation would not be enough to grasp the subject 馃檪 .
Each person who comes for a period longer than a week is guaranteed to continue his own training, tailored to his skills – there is NO SITUATION THAT HE TRAINES THE SAME THING FOR 3 WEEKS.
Remember – despite the fact that many of your friends claim (or may claim – we encounter this very often) that it is impossible to embrace a horse, gallop or move to a half-saddle on the bar on the second day of learning – we will be happy to show you how wrong they are! Our methods, not only are they different. They are simply much faster and incomparably safer .
As for riding techniques – We would like to prepare you, our guests, for a kind of riding shock.
Many people who already know how to ride will be surprised to find that it is no longer necessary to DRIVE with the calves or “push” the poor thing so that the hair comes off its back to make the horse move or go at a trot. Suddenly you find that the reins can possibly be a HELP and not a means when braking. We will teach you how to speak with your own body so that the horse freely understands you and WANTS to cooperate with you. We will show you many surprising and at the same time simple things that will make you rediscover horseback riding. We will show you that it is not the whip and spurs, but the use of natural reflexes, knowledge of even the basics of horse anatomy and psychology that will make your mount WANT to work for you. He will start off even though none of the observers will know why, he will go at a drawn or collected trot depending on whether you want him to, and finally he will gallop from a trot.
Not at all!!!! That’s not all!!! So far we have only written about the purely equestrian nature of our Resort 馃檪 – and that’s not all!!! It’s time to tell you about what you can also do ADDITIONALLY AND ABOVE the GENERAL PROGRAM OF YOUR STAY INCLUDING HORSE RIDING. These are additional activities that we are happy to spend time on, if only you feel like it 馃檪 !
First and foremost: we organize such entertainment for our participants as: a FIREWAY with various things on a stick, parties and games by our own huge (the size of a small car) fireplace. If we add to it CULIGS, snowmen, snowmen and others, we will have a partial picture of what happens at our place :). Well, I could multiply the extra activities we do, but probably no one reads it anyway, so I will simply stop 馃檪 .
And have you ever ridden a horse at night? We are good at it 馃檪 . We have specially prepared routes, where you are sure that nothing will happen to you – mostly ;). We have been riding this way for many years and believe me: lying on a horse’s back at 2 am and looking at the sky… you don’t want to be anywhere else. Means the whiners, of course, want to be in bed, but there are none like that with us 馃檪 . Brilliant – those who survived will certainly confirm.
Or have you ever gotten up at 3:30 to watch the sunrise from the saddle? In our country, I fear, it will happen to you ….
Those few who manage to call, contact and wait for an email response are of course welcome 馃檪 馃檪 馃檪 馃檪 馃檪 !!!
