Discover a quieter side of the Dubrovnik region with a relaxed horse riding experience in the beautiful Konavle Valley, close to Cavtat. Surrounded by mountains, fields, forests, and open countryside, this tour is designed for beginners, nature lovers, and anyone who wants to slow down and connect with horses in a peaceful local setting.
Your full experience lasts around 2.5 hours, including a welcome drink, time to meet the horses, prepare your equipment, enjoy the ride, and relax at the ranch afterward. The horseback ride itself lasts approximately 1 hour.
Start your visit at the ranch with a warm welcome from Katarina and the team. Before the ride begins, meet the horses and get to know their calm personalities. Your guide will introduce you to the basics of riding and help you feel confident before you set off. You will be provided with the necessary riding equipment, including a helmet, protective chaps, and riding boots if needed.
Once ready, follow your guide into the countryside for a gentle ride through Konavle Valley. Pass through forest paths, small meadows, open fields, and old local trails while enjoying fresh air, mountain views, and the peaceful rhythm of the horses. The pace is adapted to the group, making it easy and enjoyable even if this is your first time on a horse.
After the ride, return to the ranch and take time to relax with a drink of your choice, such as coffee, juice, beer, wine, or homemade drinks. Guests are welcome to stay longer, unwind, meet the animals, and enjoy the friendly ranch atmosphere before heading back.
This is more than a riding lesson or a quick trail ride. It is an authentic countryside experience hosted by people who love their horses, know the valley, and want you to leave feeling calm, confident, and connected to nature.

I’m Katarina, the owner of the ranch and your guide for this countryside horse riding experience. I started riding when I was seven, bought my first pony at nine, and by my eighteenth birthday I had another horse who taught me everything I know today.
Horses have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I love sharing that world with guests. My goal is to make you feel safe, relaxed, and welcome from the moment you arrive. I’ll introduce you to the horses, help you understand the basics, and guide you through the Konavle countryside at a calm pace. Whether it is your first time riding or you already love horses, I want you to leave with a smile, a few stories, and maybe a new four-legged favorite!

Beautiful place! The ranch staff was incredibly accommodating, patient and attentive to our entire group and from the very first moment they tried to make us all feel comfortable and welcome. The horses are beautiful, calm and obviously very well taken care of. We were especially impressed by how much open space they have and how used to people and children they seem calm, safe and attentive. We were also kept company by the adorable Daisy who made the whole experience even more beautiful. The ranch itself is neat, comfortable and well equipped, from places and benches to rest and enjoy nature to the clean and well-maintained restroom and small kitchen. You can feel how much love and effort has been put into every detail. Thank you for the wonderful experience and warm hospitality and we can't wait to come again! ❤️

Our experience was truly unforgettable. We visited on our very last day in Croatia, and it also happened to be our 6-year-old daughter’s birthday. She absolutely loves horses, so we wanted to find something special to celebrate her day. Our hotel recommended this ranch after two of their guest relations team members shared how beautiful and meaningful their own experiences had been there. What mattered most to me was finding a place where the animals were treated with genuine love and kindness. My daughter is incredibly empathetic and becomes deeply upset when she senses animals are not cared for well. From the moment we arrived, we could feel the love the owners have for their horses and animals. The owners truly love their animals and deeply care for the well-being of all. Everything felt peaceful, respectful, and full of heart. This place was beyond our imagination and truly one of the hidden gems of Dubrovnik. It captures the soul of Croatia — the warmth, the hospitality, the connection to nature, and the deep sense of family and community. The owners made us feel completely at home while also giving us a beautiful experience of Croatian culture. If you are traveling with children, especially little ones who love animals, this is a truly remarkable experience. It was one of the most meaningful memories from our trip, and a birthday our daughter will never forget. Thank you for creating such a magical and loving place.
