The Jazdecký areál Budička equestrian area is located in the small village of Tŕnie, just 14 km from Zvolen.

The riding school offers its visitors various forms of contact with horses and ponies. The smallest children can enjoy a pony ride. A "riding preparation course" is designed for children aged 3 to 7. Children learn to sit independently on a horse, practice their balance, and can also groom and feed the horse.

Systematic riding training focuses on gradually introducing the basics of riding and the principles of horse control. It is intended for children from 7 years of age. Children gradually learn to lead the horse in walk, trot, and canter, as well as overcome obstacles. Advanced riders can sign up for specialized riding training focused on dressage or show jumping.

Additional services include hippotherapy, therapeutic exercise with the help of horses. Certified instructors work not only with children, but also with adults. This therapeutic treatment brings great results for children with autism, hyperactivity, attention and behavioral disorders, as well as children and adults with scoliosis. The greatest benefit of this therapy is contact with a living animal, its warmth, emotions, and movement.

In the yard, you will find a children's playground where your little ones will have a lot of fun. And even better, there is also a fireplace for roasting. Children love cookouts, so do not forget to pack tasty bacon and sausages for your trip. Always report your visit to the ranch in advance by phone. The equestrian area is open every day with the exception of Sunday.

In addition to horse riding, the riding arena also provides horse boarding and organizes daily riding camps during the summer months. The grounds are perfect for trips for kindergarten and elementary school pupils.

If you still feel like exploring, head out on a trip to Turová, where Turovský vodopád is located. Come and see a unique natural spectacle where water falls from a height of 15 meters. From here, it is just a stone's throw to Kováčová and Zvolen. It is entirely up to you which direction you take.

While you are deciding, browse our offer of accommodation near Jazdecký areál Budička, which you can find on our website accommodation in Tŕnie.
