Trail Riding in Croatia

This past month, on a quick trip to Croatia we took the opportunity to ride in the beautiful countryside. Mustang Ranch is located near the city of Sinj in Croatia. It is less than an hour away from Split, the main city in the area with an airport. They specialize in week long riding treks and also cater to the beginner with 2-3 hour trail rides. For the more advanced riders, there are plenty of gallop opportunities and the guide caters to your riding level. With a restaurant on site and friendly guides, this is a fun place to visit and enjoy nature. Sinj is also very popular for its horseback riding tournament, Alka Knights' Tournament that happens yearly. During the contest, knights ride horses at full gallop pointing lances at an iron ring hanging on a rope. A long tradition dating back to the 18th century!

 If you are visiting Dalmatia and would like to take a short break and go ride, check them out on their website at http://mustang-sinj.net or email mustang-sinj@net.hr.
