We had a wonderful hourse ride. For our girls (8 & 11 years old) it was a little scarry, the trip is going up and down the hill, but even they where scared, it was a great adventure for them and for us, their parents. Our son (5 years old) was on the hourse with the guide and enjoyed it very much. I highly recommand this house riding! the guide is very good, the hourses are strong and healthy. A great adventure!!!

Had an excellent ride with Zhivko! It was truly a wonderful experience all the way from the start to finish. First, the horses are really clean and taken care of. You can really tell the man cares for them and tries to treat them in the best way possible. The half a day ride I took was filled with magnificent views of the forrest and the mountains. Zhivko pulled off the trails occasionally to show the hidden gems of places where the best panoramic views are. I also had the opportunity to take a trail and see all the local waterfalls up close. Such, such beautiful Bulgarian nature! The lunch he brought was simple local food and ayran - just like it should be when you go on nature hikes. It was also great to have galloped for a bit up the mountain roads. You won’t have quite the same experience elsewhere! But I’d like to warn you - unless you are in a great physical shape, half day trips might not be for you. I felt exhausted mid-trip and going back felt like forever because of it. Zhivko has many options time-wise, so you can always opt for a shorter ride if you’d like. I HIGHLY recommend Horse riding center Rizov for whoever is in the area and is up for an adventure!

Really amazing!! We loved the ride. It was cross terrain, it got us really close to the actual waterfalls, it was an experience and there was enough time to see the waterfalls. The horses were really well trained and even as a begginer, it was not an impossible feat to ride up a mountain on a horse. Really, 10/10, would return and do it again.
