My moto in life

"Practice makes the maestro."
After every training we are told the same way. We should never give up, because if you have the will, you can achieve every aim!

"No hour of life is lost that is spent in the saddle!"

Sunshine (Bolovan), as I already mentioned, he is a Gidran. The Gidran Arabian breed was founded in 1785. Its history can be traced back to the stallion Siglavy Gidran, who was imported from Arabia in 1816. The breed was originally developed for use as cavalry horses. The Gidran Arabian is a large upstanding horse, solidly built, and exhibiting quality and class. It is suitable for competitive riding, being a good sports horse.

In appearance, they are attractive large horses, nearly always chestnut in color. The neck is refined. They stand at between 16-16,2 hh, although occasionally are as big as 17 hh.

"Nobody can teach riding as well as a horse!"


I think that nobody can argue with this statement! Sunshine is a Gidran. We call him Bolovan (it means: big rock) because he's so big.

My trainer and Yavrum



She's an example for us to follow!

Training



Riding is a hard sport. You have to find harmony with the horse that you are riding. It's not just about you; you have to pay attention to the horse to. This thing happens backwards to. If the horse feels that you are affraid of something, then he will be affraid of that same thing. You need to trust him!

She's a very special and sensitive mare. I think I founded my favourite horse.
She is a Holstein. The breed takes its name from the Schleswig-Holstein area where it was originated. They have a superb temperament making them very easy to get along with and are highly versatile, being talented at both dressage and jumping, which makes them popular competition horses worldwide. They can be any solid color, although they are often bay, and stand from between 16 hh and 17 hh.
