Meet the founder
Lukács Lehel,
Lukács Lehel the founder and head of EquiTransylvania – also your guide on the the riding tours – is a skilled rider and dedicated horseman. He spends most of his free time with his horses, in any weather condition at any time of the day.
Passionate about the high dressage quality of his horses, which is based on the traditional Hungarian military principles, on the academic art of riding method, and as well as on the principle of natural horsemanship, his personal idols are the Hungarian military riders of the early 1900’s.
Lehel loves and respects the Hungarian-speaking Transylvanian village, their traditional folklore and the regional way of life.
Approved guide by FER (Romanian Equestrian Federation), member of the Nemzeti Lovasakadémia (National Horse Academy – Hungary), he speaks Hungarian, Romanian, and English. Tour guiding in English or Hungarian.
Our guests’ opinion
Nothing from what I expected.
Was a 100 times better.
The owner of the stable, the guest houses and the hosts.
Not speaking of the terrain and the views.
It’s a must experience expedition.
Must highlight the well trained and healthy horse. Well treated, you can see how happy the horses are.
All the best to Equitransylvania and we will surely meet again.
It was a truly magical few days away from the busy world with the greatest hosts and tour guides Anna and Leyel.
We will never forget that experiance in the wilderness of Transilvania.
Thank you so much for everithing!!!!
The horses are extremely well trained, equipment is high quality and the guides, Lehel and Anna are very knowledgeable in horsemanship, wildlife and routes.
The tour focuses on showcasing local communities, cuisine, all food is locally sourced, delicious and flavorful.
The overall experience from accommodation to food, team, horses and scenery is most certainly the best in Romania.
I don't know what I preferred between the horse rides, the food, the places we've been to... Everything was 10/10.
Thank you so much, and I'll definitely visit again! ❤️
Highly recommended.

The 3 day riding experience was amazing - the horses were matched exactly to our skill levels and our guide Anna and Lehel were always on hand and considerate of our needs. The countryside is rolling hills, meadows and woodlands, with the horses being comfortable and kind in all the paces. Anna always checked to make sure we were happy with the pace and terrain. Being kept in a small herd grazing on large, varied meadows meant the horses live a very natural life and were all in excellent health and condition.
Lehel, Anna and Melinda were all generous with their time and made our holiday experience an exceptional one. Riding happy and content horses with an experienced guide and support team allowed us to unplug and enjoy the natural beauty of Transylvania. It is a wonderful way to reconnect with nature. Thank you for a great holiday.
From the moment we were collected by Lehel at the airport through to the 3 days riding (plus a few extra to enjoy the country!) to our return home we were looked after in a professional and friendly manner.
The accommodation of a small village guesthouse and a beautifully presented yurt surrounded by hills and meadows was all super clean and comfortable. The food prepared throughout our stay was all home made and delicious.

I would highly recommend this holiday to anyone who loves riding, seeing new and beautiful countryside and wants to connect with nature.

Thank you for a great holiday. Lisa, Bedfordshire, UK
We, my daughter (aged 12) and I, are recently home from three days riding (plus a few extra days) with equitransylvania and we could not have had a better trip, it was so good I don't know where to start!
The riding is wonderful; grassy hills perfect for all paces, wide paths and tracks and a few incredibly quiet roads - you may pass a few carts!
The horses are superb - beautifully schooled, fun and forward going, perfectly matched to our abilities.
The scenery is staggeringly beautiful; rolling hills covered in flowers, ancient woods and pretty little villages.
The guides -both Anna and Lehal are wonderful, their english is brilliant and they are incredibly adaptable and considerate of their riders (and horses, of course!).
We stayed in the traditional guesthouse and the yurt and loved both - simple, gorgeous and quiet - to us perfect, not luxurious maybe, but fabulous and unique.
To top it of we were just looked after so well, not only by Anna and Lehal but also lovely Melinda who picked us up from the airport, cooked us gorgeous food, catering to our slightly odd dietary requests, and generally looked after us so well!)
All in all, this was a totally brilliant holiday that I can not recommend highly enough, we were looked after so very well, we loved exploring and riding through Transylvania and very much hope to return. thank you everyone - the horses, the dogs and everyone at equitransylvania, you are unique and wonderful!!!
Meet our horses
Over the past few years we have been selecting the most suitable horses for the local climate and the specific terrain conditions.
Deciding was the personality and the character of each of them, but as fundamental principle, we like Hungarian-origin purebreds. These traditionally bred horses have proved their endurance, intelligence and excellence over the centuries.
All our horses are trained for equestrian tours and they are used to the Transylvanian terrain conditions. We train them on a regular basis in the arena, work with lunge or long line and also work in hand. They are healthy, strong and fit for all our trail rides. It is important for us, that our horses live as close to their natural habitat as possible. If you want to know more, please read our Animal welfare policy.
