Horse Riding Holidays in Eastern Europe * Unicorn Trails *

	EASTERN EUROPE
	Horse riding in Eastern Europe offers a whole new world. It is not only that the horse riding holidays there are exceptional value for money as the economies catch up with Western Europe, but there has long been a tradition of horsemanship in large parts of Eastern Europe. Hungarian carriage driving, the Lippizaners in Romania and Polish hunting traditions represent the more visible part of this riding tradition in Eastern Europe. You are likely to find a working blacksmith and forge in most villages. Horses and horse riding are understood and welcomed by everyone, so finding places to overnight with your horse is not a problem. There is minimal development and a varied countryside through which riders can ride freely without encountering large roads on their holiday. While we have horse riding holidays for all abilities in Eastern Europe, good riders will get the most out of the riding here with far more choice and the opportunity to make the riding holiday as challenging as they like. But the best part of this horseman's paradise is that the tourism industry is not very developed yet. Visitors may be an object of curiosity and are received with warm hospitality. Local people are eager to demonstrate the best of their country and region from nature reserves to historic buildings and cultural traditions long suppressed under Soviet rule. There are many relics of the Soviet era: collective farms, Soviet style socialism traditions and buildings. Many stories of life behind the iron curtain come to life over a drink or around the campfire. This is absolutely fascinating - visit now before it all disappears! Read our article on Eastern Europe.
