The Equarion Riding School is not just a place for me, but the natural continuation of a life journey.
I was born into this world: my father was a veterinarian specializing primarily in horses, so horses have been a part of my everyday life since my childhood. I got into the saddle at a very young age, but it was at the age of thirteen that I truly became captivated by the world of riding.
From that point on, I competed actively, and I was fortunate enough to work with several horses and excellent trainers. I took part in championships, indoor finals, and international competitions as well. Athletic is especially important to me; he has been by my side from the very beginning until today, and I have always been able to count on him. He is also the horse shown in the picture. 😀
Alongside competing, I gained insight into the world of riding camps and teaching from a young age. I helped at summer camps and later gained experience as an instructor at other riding schools. Over time, I took on an increasingly larger role in running our family farm and riding school, and gradually assumed responsibility for its management and development.
During my university years, I began to consciously build and develop our small equestrian farm: I improved the facilities, welcomed students and boarders, and with my father’s help, we also started breeding horses. It brings me great joy to see how the riding school develops year after year, and how those who come to ride with us grow and improve alongside it.
I am especially proud that several of our long-time students now actively help with the daily life of the riding school. This is not only a great support for me, but also a sign that a true community has been formed here. I hope that the knowledge, experience, and values they gain here will help them confidently find their place in the equestrian world in the future.
