Poland, Lobez - Trail Ride on a Country Estate

Outside Lobez is this large country property consisting of a manor house, stables, a small indoor arena and 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres) of land. The food served is very tasty and based on organically grown vegetables and meat, including the estate’s home bred duck. Fish from the Estate’s own lake are also served. During the week you stay at the nicely renovated manor house.

Most horses are Anglo Arabs and reared on the farm. They have a very good life and go out into the big lush pastures every day. They have good stamina are and in good condition allowing for a fast-paced ride with many long gallops. You will have the chance to do a lot of riding (3-6 hours / day). On a few of the days, the rides will start at the farm and on others you will leave the horses in stables and you be driven back to the estate. The ride goes over large, rolling hills, along good forest roads and to the region's largest lake. You will also visit a trotting stud farm, the former state-owned stud Lobez. After a nice long ride and a good dinner, it is cozy to sit by the fire and sample the homemade liqueurs.

Program, Week & Short Week

Preliminary day-by-day program, week

Day 1 - Arrival. You arrive at the riding center in the afternoon or early evening and welcomed by your hostess.

Day 2 - After an initial trial ride in the paddock, following afternoon you take a first ride in the surrounding area. The vast hilly landscape offers great opportunities for fast and long canters. You ride through the peat bog of Karsibor and admire the magnificent 400 years old oak trees in the forest. In the evening you enjoy cosy crackling fire or relax on the terrace under the chestnut trees overlooking our 200-year old, beautiful park.

Day 3- You ride through the unique natural paradise of Drambour Lake District, through beautiful, secluded forests and along clear, enchanted lakes. Weather permitting extensive bathing breaks for horse and rider are planned.

Day 4 - The ride today takes you through a beautiful, gently rolling countryside towards a stately manor house dating from the 19th century, where you are expected for lunch. After lunch you visit the farm with the old oak tree park by the lake. The spacious surroundings of the estate offer you again a lot of space for expansive canters. You take old forest avenues that bring you back to the estate, where already the dinner awaits. After dinner there are opportunities for invigorating sessions in the sauna on the lakeshore, a relaxing massage or a refreshing swim in the farm's lake.

Day 5 - After breakfast, you pack a picnic before you set out on today's ride. Riding through meadows and woods you enjoy the lush green, hilly and wide-open landscapes of the region. You visit a neighbouring farm on a secluded lake where you enjoy a picnic and subsequent siesta. After your return and a sumptuous dinner we ride in the carriages to the nearby old manor by the lake, where we can wander about the infinitely vast, lush green meadows to view and admire the leisurely trotting horse herd in the setting evening sun.

Day 6 - Today you start the 2-day trail: The ride leads through sleepy villages, wide meadows and light forests to a horse training facility at our old manor. You leave the horses in the barn and enjoy a charming picnic in the backyard garden. The horses spend the night here, as you return to the farm (transfer about 20-30 min.). In the evening the idyllic sauna by lakeside can be booked for an extensive session, as well as a soulful massage or simply a swim in the refreshing lake.

Day 7 - You go horseback riding and take a short tour of the facility that served as the training ground of the Berlin Racetrack before the war. After sightseeing, you drive back through quiet, sleepy Pomeranian villages. Today, after lunch, you go together to a nearby Pomeranian vintner who has been successfully growing wine there since 2011. There you enjoy wine tasting with hand-made local cheeses.
