Our horses

Meet the Gidrán and Kisbéri horses you will ride

Gidrán and Kisbéri halfbred horses are known for stamina, strong legs and a comfortable, steady gait, which makes them ideal for long days on the trail.

Sámson (2013) is a Gidrán gelding who joined our team in early 2021. Born and raised in a Romanian state stud, he is strong and persistent, with excellent legs and a calm, balanced gallop under the saddle.
