" For all of us who love horses, riding is more than a hobby our horses are our friends, it is not only a great passion but also an art that becomes a way of life. There is mix of feelings and a certain chemistry that comes with riding, it is perhaps only experienced and learnt through practice and it’s all about how rider, saddle and horse are able to become one.

Both mind and soul are set free out in the fields, one can easily forget for a while about everything else, except about that which is before one's very eyes. We are here to share it with you and teach you the path should you not know this already."
