Horse riding center Rizov

Had an excellent ride with Zhivko! It was truly a wonderful experience all the way from the start to finish.

First, the horses are really clean and taken care of. You can really tell the man cares for them and tries to treat them in the best way possible. The half a day ride I took was filled with magnificent views of the forrest and the mountains. Zhivko pulled off the trails occasionally to show the hidden gems of places where the best panoramic views are. I also had the opportunity to take a trail and see all the local waterfalls up close. Such, such beautiful Bulgarian nature! The lunch he brought was simple local food and ayran - just like it should be when you go on nature hikes. It was also great to have galloped for a bit up the mountain roads. You won’t have quite the same experience elsewhere!

But I’d like to warn you - unless you are in a great physical shape, half day trips might not be for you. I felt exhausted mid-trip and going back felt like forever because of it. Zhivko has many options time-wise, so you can always opt for a shorter ride if you’d like.

I HIGHLY recommend Horse riding center Rizov for whoever is in the area and is up for an adventure!

One of the best places for horseback riding in Bulgaria. Great nature and surrounding area. The owner is professional and you can learn a lot about horses, riding and the place. The horses were very well trained and cooperative. The trail that we took was unique and beautiful. I am recommending it and will visit them again. Thank you for your hospitality!

We had a wonderful hourse ride. For our girls (8 & 11 years old) it was a little scarry, the trip is going up and down the hill, but even they where scared, it was a great adventure for them and for us, their parents. Our son (5 years old) was on the hourse with the guide and enjoyed it very much.
I highly recommand this house riding! the guide is very good, the hourses are strong and healthy. A great adventure!!!

Wonderful experience for beginners and experienced riders alike! The owner takes great care to explain everything very thoroughly and help those who have not ridden horses before. The horses are very well cared for, the equipment is good. The paths up and down the mountain are quite steep for beginners, but with the right instruction they all managed it beautifully. The horses are very well trained and calm. A great place!

Really amazing!! We loved the ride. It was cross terrain, it got us really close to the actual waterfalls, it was an experience and there was enough time to see the waterfalls. The horses were really well trained and even as a begginer, it was not an impossible feat to ride up a mountain on a horse. Really, 10/10, would return and do it again.

We took a ride to waterfall trail and it was great experience. We tried horse riding earlier with our kids but what was great here that we could go really in tiny hike trail up and down (a bit of adrenaline but completely safe). Unbelievable what horses can do and we really loved this. Recommended!

Friendly horses and guide. We did a two hours trip. After one hour riding you can walk for 45 min along the waterfalls.

This experience was absolutely amazing! I totally recommend this!!

My daughter who is an advanced horse rider went on a 3 hour mountain trek & said it was the best thing she had experienced on horseback. So highly recommended!

On the way for the waterfalls canyon near Smoliyan. Seen the instruction.

A wonderful experience😍

Magnificent

Изключително приятно преживяване. С приятеля ми сме напълно начинаещи, но се разходихме по дългия маршрут и бихме повторили и потретили! Инструктора Живко е спокоен, търпелив, обяснява подробно, запознава те с конете и се съобразява с възможностите ти. Прехода е поне 4 часа, но си заслужава - за обяд ни запали скара горе близо до водопада Орфей и си изкарахме наистина много приятно. Времето беше чудесно, планината много красива, кучетата са малко досадни, но са сладки, кобилата Европа е кротка и много приятна за езда, Батальон е малко по-своенравен, но ако не ви е за пръв път би трябвало да няма проблем. Препоръчвам с две ръце.

Страхотно преживяване! Живко, екипът му и всички коне са прекрасни, изключителни подготвени, умеят да те накарт да се чувстваш спокоен и уверен, да се чувстваш чудесно! Влагат изключителна любов, старание и грижа в това да доставят удоволствие на ездачите. Благодарим ви!

Ездата с Живко беше незабравимо изживяване, изпълнено с вълнение, нови знания и положителна енергия! Очевидно е, че той и екипът му са посветени на ездата и я практикуват с любов. Конете са отлично обучени, което позволява дори на начинаещите да се справят уверено. Това прекрасно приключение сред природата ще остане завинаги в сърцата ни!

Благодарим на Живко Ризов и семейството му за прекрасния ден, който сподели с нас. Ездата при тях е наистина невероятно преживяване което трябва да опита. Благодарим:)

Макар да бях изключително притеснена в началото, подкрепата, която получих ми помогна да преодолея страховете си и да се осмеля да яздя.
Живко се погрижи за нашето удобство и сигурност като обясни основите на ездата.
Беше истинско приключение, което ме отведе през красиви природни пейзажи и ми даде усещане за свобода и връзка с природата .Конете бяха добре обучени и спокойни.
Горещо препоръчвам на всеки, който търси нови и вълнуващи изживявания.
Опитайте и вие – няма да съжалявате!!

Прекрасно преживяване беше, препоръчвам го с две ръце, Ризов е много точен , заслужава си да посетите мястото.
За любителите на емоции и силни преживявания мястото е уникално, конете са много умни и послушни, а за природата просто нямам думи, трябва да се види на живо.

Пълна наслада! Много благодаря на Живко за такова приключение, което ще остане в паметта ми завинаги. Много живописен маршрут! И конете! Конете са просто невероятни!!!! Подходящо дори за неподготвени, бяхме с дете на 6 години, той беше възхитен!!!! Благодаря от сърце!

Страхотни коне, много спокойни и добре дресирани! Също така много добри инструкции за начинаещи! Препоръчвам силно 😀
