Horseback riding Hruštín

If you like horses, we invite you to Jazdecký areál Húšť, located in the village of Dlhá nad Oravou, in the Dolný Kubín district. Head to this interesting place and enjoy the view of the beautiful Orava nature from horseback. You can find Jazdecký areál Húšť on the premises of Agrodružstvo Dlhá.

Experienced riders, as well as complete beginners, have the opportunity to ride a horse in a modern arena or in open terrain. Saddle up your steed and set off on a ride into the surrounding nature. Do you have respect for this powerful and noble animal? Let yourself be taken on a horse-drawn carriage. Treat yourself to this extraordinary experience in both summer and winter. However, do not forget to book your horse or carriage ride in advance by phone.

In addition to recreational horseback riding, experienced instructors at the equestrian club also mentor young talents. The youngest riders start by grooming, feeding, cleaning, and saddling the horse. This is followed by moving around the horse so that it warms up and relaxes. Only after that do the exercises or riding begin. Young riders who want to pursue this sport professionally start with vaulting first, which is essentially gymnastics on horseback. Only later do they proceed to horse dressage and more demanding exercises.

During the summer season, the equestrian club organizes the Výstava koní Orava horse exhibition, bringing together horse lovers and breeders from all over Slovakia. This exhibition is a showcase of horses of all breeds bred in the Orava region and the surrounding area. Visitors can look forward to a rich side program, refreshments, and a raffle.

Orava is a beautiful region with many interesting attractions. Raft logging on wooden rafts in Oravský Podzámok is among the most sought-after attractions during the summer season. After raft logging, visit Oravský hrad castle, which stands proudly atop a 112-meter majestic cliff. Did you know that the movie Thomas the Falconer was filmed at the castle? You do not have to travel far for accommodation. Accommodation near Jazdecký areál Húšť can be found on our accommodation Dlhá nad Oravou page.

In the north of Slovakia, in the beautiful region of Orava, you will find the cutting ranch North Orava Cutting Horses. Did you know that cutting is a Western equestrian discipline where a rider and horse are judged on their ability to separate a single cow from a herd and keep it at a distance? Play cowboy and experience a slice of the wild American Texas. You can find all this and much more in the tiny village of Novoť.

The premises are equipped with an indoor riding arena, a tack room, a common room, and a stable with outdoor shelters. Cutting developed on cattle ranches in the American West, where the job of cutting horses was to separate a head of cattle for vaccination, castration, or branding. Cutting is characterized by specially bred breeds such as the Quarter Horse, Appaloosa, and American Paint Horse, mainly for their well-developed cow sense, an intuitive ability to read cattle. Every year, more than 2,200 cutting events are organized around the world. The cutting ranch North Orava Cutting Horses regularly participates in competitions in Hungary, Poland, Germany, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia.

This modern ranch, located near the Polish border, is involved not only in cutting but also in breeding, riding lessons, training, and competitive showing of horses. Beginner and advanced riders alike can sign up for a riding course. Beginners start with grooming, saddling, and unsaddling the horse. They complete their riding course in the indoor arena. More experienced riders can take a horse for an outdoor ride and enjoy the view of the magnificent Orava nature from the saddle. Do not forget to always book your horseback ride in advance by phone.

The ranch also offers hippotherapy, which focuses on working with children with various developmental disorders. It is proven that horseback riding has a very beneficial effect on children. It improves speech, regulates muscle tone, enhances spatial orientation, reduces anxiety and fear, eliminates aggression, and supports concentration. Hippotherapy is recommended for children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities, delayed speech development, learning or behavioral disorders, children with ADHD, Down syndrome, eating disorders, or other neurological and psychosomatic conditions.
