This is the ride you need to book without a second look

5.00I had the absolute BEST time with Velco and new farm friends. This was truly the highlight of the work trip I came a few days early for. I really felt like I got to experience the heart and soul of Bulgaria in just this one day. I was lucky enough to go the day after it had been snowing for a while, and I've never seen anything more beautiful. I felt like a wildling beyond the wall. The ride really is tailored to your abilities and preferences, as the mountain offers many routes both on and off path. I asked for the wildest experience they had and I sure got it. We traversed through thick brush, galloped throw snow, navigated across streams and bridges for 4 hours. I like to go on trail rides and lessons everywhere I travel, and this was one of the first times I actually got help with my form and had long enough stretches to practice. To top it off, some of the best time my whole trip just breaking bread with the crew and feeling welcomed to their table and near their hearth with raspberry wine and home grown Bulgarian delicacies. Everything from pickup to dropoff was handled with such joy and ease. I can't wait to go back for an even longer ride. I already know I'd have the best company.
Beautiful

5.00I always wanted to do a horse ride through untouched nature. So this experience was like a dream come true. I had a really calm and well-behaved horse and the guide was patient and adjusted the tour to my skill level. He even shot photos of me, so that I can have some memories of this tour. All in all it was the perfect tour!
Great adventure, awesome guide
