The picturesque regions of Slovenia attract the lovers of horsemanship from both near and far. Lipica, the cradle of the Lipizzaner horses has been offering a special experience since the 16th century. Lovers of classical horseback riding according to the principles of the Spanish Riding school in Vienna with sport dressage and riding in a carriage and pair will enjoy the noble white horses. Today, Lipica is an important tourist centre which offers Classical Riding Courses, visits of trainings and performances as well as unique views of karst countryside from the saddle or carriage.
Ljutomer is also an important place of Slovenian horsemanship boasting its harness horses – fast racing horses. At the Ljutomer hippodrome there are at least four important harness races. Harness horses, not only American, can be admired at the horse-breeding centre Brdo where the best Slovenian horses and drivers compete every year on the sandy lane with tidy tribunes.
Horseback riding courses, trainings and cross-county riding are offered by the riding centres as that in Struga beside Castle Otočec, at Prestranek with its stud-farm inside the Prestranek Manor or at the Lepena lodge with the beauty of the Triglav National Park. There are excellent riding facilities at ranches and tourist farms, which similarly to riding centres, also organize riding courses for all levels, cross-country riding, carriage rides, care for horses and more. In many places there are ponies available to children and there has been an increasing number of riding clubs which offer rides by Icelandic ponies.
