Slovenia horse riding holidays:
Pristava Lepena, Soca Valley

From £959 per person

Price, based on two people sharing, includes: flights, seven nights' accommodation with breakfast, seven days' car hire and 10 hours of trail riding.

I cannot think of a more beautiful location to spend time riding the beautiful Slovenian Lipizzaner horses than Pristava Lepena.

You can have lessons including grooming, saddling practices and basic riding skills and once you have enough experience you can go on guided trails through the surrounding forests and along the stunning Soca River. Experienced riders can skip the lessons and go straight to the trail riding.

Pristava Lepena is a magical place offering peace and tranquillity, surrounded by the dramatic Julian Alps and close to jade-green Soca River. The owners, Milan and Silvia, are generous and interesting hosts, and the log-cabin-style accommodation adds to the away-from-it-all feel of the place.
