Horse riding
Horse riding offers your family the opportunity to experience a range of beautiful countryside. There are courses for beginners to learn the basics and gain confidence, and there are plenty of routes for expert riders. Our horse riding activity days are truly a great experience, and worth considering for any type of family adventure holiday in Croatia.
Typical horse rides are into the countryside will take you through villages, olive groves and woodland areas. All the while there will be superb views, warming sunsets and glittering blue coastlines. In the summertime, we often stop for swims and short food breaks. Do please note that we may occasionally have to change the itinerary on days of bad weather, as this does affect trail conditions or many other circumstances beyond our command.

Horse riding
Come join the fun !
Try our great horse riding facilities in the small town of Sinj, while on your activity holiday in Croatia. We have a great range of horses in a choice of excellent stables, ranging from unsure footed beginners to expert cowboys!
We only ever ride in small groups of not more than 6 people, so you are fully ensured that we give you personal attention at all times.
A bit tame
We spent a lovely afternoon with the horses and our instructor was great. The only negative for us was the fact that we wanted to take horses for a bit further walk on our own, but we were only allowed to ride very close to stables.

both agree on these days
The family horse riding trip is perfect for families with kids. Our 12 and 17 years old both loved it, and it’s so hard to find something they both agree on these days. Our guide was very friendly and informative, and we never felt unsafe. I forget her name, but she said she was the office manager there. The route was spectacular and we learnt a lot about Croatian nature and history along the way. Every year I organise multi-activity holidays for my family and this has been one of the best day trips to date. Thank you Croatia Family Holidays.

A lot of giggles
This was our second activity booked, we we’re originally booked to go on the sea kayaking trip but weather was too windy. Our hosts said it was a rarity in Dalmatia, but hey ho, it was no problem to try Horse riding. Our first thoughts were that it wasn’t going to be a good fun, but it turned out to be a lot of giggles. By the end of the session, we were trotting and making friends with our horses. My two teenager daughters loved the experience.

Bit annoying
I found it a bit annoying that other families couldn’t do the horse ridingas well as myself an Penelope. Your company I believe should split the groups. The horses are strong, healthy and good natured. We liked the tour of the stables and my daughter enjoyed the picnic food very much.

Easy level riding
This is easy level riding only, so people with experience won’t lose this trip. They provide all equipment and the staff are very nice. The horses are in great condition. My daughter had a great time, I was a little bored. But if she is happy, I’m happy. The tour was exactly how advertised.

Surprise hit
The kids absolutely loved the countryside which was probably the surprise hit of the whole tour. more than the coast which it is famous for. In terms of improvements. The horse riding was slightly disappointing for the adults compared to the kids enjoyment, couldn’t you do two separate tours at the same time? But those tiny things can’t take anything away from an amazing holiday – I just thought it would be good to give you some feedback on a couple of things that we’d discussed while there.

The kids absolutely loved
Hi there, the horse riding was fantastic, thank you. The whole family loved it and the routes were fantastic. Everything was well organised with all the pick-ups and arrangements working really well and the stables were very good too. We loved everything about Croatia and we had some amazing riding adventures that will stay long in everyone’s memory.

Even tried the local wines
It was good thanks Marija. There was lots on offer for the whole family. We ate, we learned, we rode, we swam in a river, we even tried the local wines. All in all, there wasn’t a dull moment on the horse riding day trip and my teenagers loved the experience.

No complaints
The horse riding tour was very relaxing. I think we should have taken your advice and done the wine tasting afterwards, would have been good to relax the muscles. But no complaints in regards to your adventure travel services. Do send my best to Ivana and Damir our guides, they were brilliant fun.

fabulous day out
What a stunning location & tour! My bum and thighs are not recovered though! lol Thanks to all your horsing staff, the extra time you put into my two daughters was so appreciated. What a fantastic place to learn to ride. Overall, a fabulous day out.
