The horse club of a new kind EquatorsUA
Free horses, free people!
What do we have?
A herd of horses (up to 90 horses)
A beautiful location high in the mountains, away from civilization
An original human-horse interaction system with the herd of horses, as well as with each individual horse (based on an understanding of horse psychology and behavior through our own experience)
Our own mountain horse tourism school
We have been working in this field since 2001, and based on our experience, we have created our own collaboration system between the horse and the rider.
Why is this a new type of horse club?
A herd of purebred Hutsul horses living in the wild pastures of the Carpathian Mountains—where else can a Hutsul horse be more at home than in its natural environment and among its own herd?
We are the owners and breeders of the largest herd of Hutsul horses in Ukraine, which are raised in our farm. The breeding work with horses at Farm "Polonynske Hospodarstvo" has been focused on their working productivity, specifically:
-
The movements of the horses (smooth gait)
-
The conformation of the horses (characteristic of mountain horses and most suitable for work in the mountains)
-
The temperament of the horses (gentle, calm, and intelligent)
All the horses in the herd are trained using the same system
Club members learn and engage with horses using a unified system that is natural and easy for the horses to understand
Olexandr Ignatenko's School of Mountain Horse Tourism (comprehensive course in mountain horse tourism). During this course, our students undergo preparatory training in the mountains, in natural conditions, and during horse treks. Once we assess that the student is psychologically and physically ready for expeditionary trips, they have the opportunity to participate in multi-day treks according to their level of preparedness in collaboration with the horses.
You don't need to buy a horse and take responsibility for its care. Instead, you have access to the club's horses, whether it's an individual horse or the entire herd. Rest assured that they will be well taken care of in a beautiful location, surrounded by people who will treat them with care and respect
Club members are like-minded individuals who share your love for horses and adventures
Your journey to us always includes a trip to the Carpathian Mountains, full board accommodation, and interaction with horses. It's not just a routine visit to the stables. It's a combination of relaxation, rejuvenation, learning, and enjoyable company
We teach riding for horse treks, not for equestrian sports. Although your personal physical condition will greatly improve, you'll be motivated to change for yourself and your horses
Club Events
Horse camps for relaxation, online webinars for getting answers to questions, training camps for learning and practice, horse expeditions for training and adventure, equestrian journeys planned in collaboration with participants, held either in Ukraine or abroad. Additionally, there are club gatherings and events related to the herd. It all depends on the participant's level; the higher the level, the more events they can attend.
Feel the true energy of the herd
Thanks to our well-acquainted herd and collaboration system with horses, we can accommodate groups of up to 20 students for training purposes and form equestrian tourist groups of up to 40 individuals, as the number of horses allows. This provides an opportunity to experience the true energy of the herd, where the mass of horses and people in the mountains is united by a shared idea.
Mission
Because we use a mountain breed of horses that are specifically bred and adapted for mountainous terrains, we can explore places that are challenging for humans to navigate. Whether it's navigating turbulent mountain streams, rocky peaks, or even marshy valleys, our horses enable us to explore the most unique, exotic, and seemingly perilous locations in the stunning Carpathian Mountains. This allows us to venture into every corner and crevice of these magnificent and mysterious mountains.
We facilitate a unique partnership where the human takes the lead while the horse serves as the guide.
These treks offer a unique experience where you will not only collaborate with your own horse but also work alongside the horses of all the participants.
Our treks may seem challenging from the outside, but they are designed to be the safest through careful preparation. With collective cooperation, our treks become easier, allowing individuals to confidently fulfill their responsibilities and be themselves even in the largest group of like-minded individuals.
Participants
Since our clients are adults aged 18 and above, we strive to broaden our age range. To achieve this, we have created an exciting program called "Horse Guests" Horse Camp or Relaxation tour in the herd of horses. This program is designed to mentally prepare individuals and showcase our collaboration with horses, catering to both adults and children aged 10 and above. The Relaxation tour in the herd of horses program features 3 lectures where we demonstrate our collaboration with horses. Additionally, we have developed a series of children's books titled "ВдосКОНЯлюємося" ("Horseful Discoveries"), which are intended for an audience starting from 2 years old.
