Horse Riding
Polish horses are famous throughout the world. Highly appreciated are our full-blooded English horses, thoroughbred Arab horses and Anglo-Arab breeds. Tarpans (wild descendants of original steppe horses) and hucul (a breed kept by East Carpathian mountaineers) are also bred.
Lovers of these beautiful animals come to auctions regularly organized in Warsaw, Iwno, Janow Podlaski, Książ, Sopot, and Lobez. Vacations in the saddle are very popular here. Numerous horse breeding centres throughout Poland, possessing comfortable accommodation facilities, welcome enthusiasts of this sport. Horse riding lessons are available for beginners; experienced riders may gallop off into beautiful countryside either unaccompanied or with a professional English-speaking guide. Rides in horsedrawn carriages and St. Hubertus rides are also organized.
Horse riding tourism, is getting more and more popular in Europe and world-wide. In Poland we can take pride in almost a hundred years of tradition. The origins of horseriding tourism reach back to the 19th century in the Car pathian Mountains.This are is famous for mountaineering and horse riding tourism. Then as now the main centre for Hucul horse riding was the Hucul Horse Stables in Gładyszów. Lowland horse-riding tourism, in turn, has a completely different origin. In this case chivalry and cavalry traditions had great significance.
Nowadays, in the Poland lowlands horse-riding tourism flourishes around stables as well as sports and recreation centres.
