Experience the romance of riding in Transylvania!
British and American ran tourism business in Transylvania, a tranquil region of mountains, forests, meadows, shepherds, bucolic villages and, above all, working horses. Our location is quiet and unspoilt, with the nearest town 60km away, no through road, and most of the limited traffic still horse-drawn. Meadows are scattered with wild flowers. We use our horses to bring hay and other supplies, to plough the land, to travel around the local area. Food is locally grown, organic and flavoursome. To visit is to take a trip back into the past, where you can experience a horse-drawn rural society that has scarcely changed in generations.
