Balkan Rides - Bulgaria

Kingdom of Thracians

5 star rating   12 September 2026

Helen who has been on 7 In The Saddle rides. Really great holiday | The riding certainly met all my expectations as my mare was just want I like. All the horses seemed to be well suited for the riders with only one change being made at the end of the first day at the two riders's request. The terrain was varied which dictated a variety of pace but Vasko certainly let us loose when possible.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

Some of the hotels were great, but some were very old fashioned but Katerina knew this and said they were looking to change some.
As for the food it was very good - both in the hotels at night and the lunches supplied by Katerina and Monika.
