MARKus
Markus was born in East Frisia, comes from a large family and works as an entrepreneur.

TOGETHER
We appreciate the family interaction, the connection to nature and have a big heart for animals.
The species-appropriate and as natural as possible husbandry of the animals plays a very important role for us.
We look forward to being able to share the relaxed atmosphere in the Balkan Mountains with you and your four-legged friends.
BEATE
Beate, a typical Bavarian with Polish roots, grew up around animals. Even as a small child, nobody could stop her from "Pony & Pferd".
From an early age she dedicated herself to the most artistic of all equestrian sports. The dressage sport.
The relaxed environment is an ideal place for your own equestrian demands to devote yourself to this highest form of horse training with all the time and tranquility. In addition to all the training, she devotes herself to the individual needs of all horses.
OUR ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
HORSE HOLDING - SPECIES-APPROPRIATE AND IN A GROUP
Each animal has individual needs in terms of rest, food and exercise. The focus has always been on the well-being and health of the horse, because only a happy, healthy horse can bring joy to humans as a partner.
We attach great importance to strict compliance with our quality standards
- also in dealing with the animals.
If it is hungry because it does not get enough roughage, it is dissatisfied. If it just stands in its box and doesn't get enough exercise in the fresh air, it may well be that it wants to let off steam under the rider. It can also lead to injuries and long-term damage to the joints and tendons.
WE OFFER
- LARGE COUPLINGS and plenty of exercise
- CLEAN AND SOFT BOXES
- VERY GOOD QUALITY FOOD FROM REGIONAL FARMERS
BALKAN HORSE RANCH
The beautiful equestrian facility is located in the Balkan Mountains, about an hour's drive north-east of Sofia. In summer our riding facility is surrounded by green meadows, in winter by lots of snow: Real four seasons with many sunny days in the fresh mountain air.
The pure nature, the excellent climate and wide meadows and hills invite you to a variety of horseback rides.
If you are looking for a real break from everyday life, to deal with yourself, to enjoy nature with friends and partners, to focus on the horses or simply to work in front of the hotel terrace, you will find it in this place.
During the week, the trainers from BBH Bavarian Business Hub organize seminars, workshops and coaching at European top management level on the ranch.
These activities, which continue to enjoy popularity, integrate beautifully with the environment with horses and the tranquility of this unique nature.
