Horse Trekking and Riding In Ukraine |
| Riding in the Carpathian Mountains |
The nature of the Ukrainian Carpathian Mountains and riverbanks are ideally suited for riding holidays. Travelling by developed routes tourists become acquainted with different districts, way of life and culture of local people that hasn't changed much over the last three hundred years.
In many mountain districts you may ride as much and as often as you want or take it at a more leisurely pace. In some areas you will be offered a special hutsul breed of horse - "Hutsulyk", the kind natured, quiet and friendly horse. With its strong constitution it is considered to be one of the best mountain breeds. This horse is respected for its firmness of foot and capability for carrying of heavy load through mountain valleys. The Hutsul horse breed can be referred to as the ancient one, because the first mentions about it date back to 1603. In a history there are facts that these horses were purchased for the Austrian army. Hungary and the principality of Luxembourg only bought the best horses for breeding and the Ukrainian Hutsul very much fell into this category. The local people very much appreciate the mountain horse, praising it in their songs and in their legends. In almost every village as well as in the tourist centres you can hire a horse for riding at a very reasonable prices. Near the regional centers there are many stables where riding instruction is available. A ride in the national clothes will give you unforgettable impressions.

Rancho Bolivar is an entertainment centre for those who love nature, sports (horseback riding, fishing, hunting) and good food.
It is situated in a picturesque southern suburb of Kiev, surrounded by forests and fields. Here you can spend a couple of days without doing the same thing twice.
Beautiful, well-bred, gentle horses are available as well as expert tuition.
Rancho Bolivar also offers tennis, billiards and pool

But if you are ready for something extraordinary, consider a multi-day, guided hunting trip in the forest. In the evening you'll pitch your tent in a meadow or on the banks of a stream and enjoy food and friendship over a fire. All this trip is very popular with men, both men and women are welcome.
While you're hunting, you'll enjoy the silence and isolation of the forest, the flowers, berries and the birds.
Experienced hunting guides will accompany you
