The equestrian centre "LIBERTAS" was established in 1994 and operates in several locations in Croatia: on the coast during summer, as part of the Zaton Holiday Resort in close proximity to the small town Nin, and during the other seasons in Karlovac and on the ranch “Bolc” in the village Bolc near Farkasevac.
Apart from recreational riding the centre offers organized cross-country riding, riding courses, ponies for children of kindergarten age and school children, therapeutic riding for children and adults with disabilities, as well as other equine-related activities. The club is particularly oriented towards activities with young members, because besides improving their mental and physical abilities they help children and teenagers develop self-confidence and responsibility, teach them about life and nature, and introduce them to one of the most attractive sports.

Horse-lovers and equestrian sports fans with no previous experience who would like to have a good time with horses and enjoy nature or those with competitive aspirations are all welcome to join our horse riding course which consists of several levels. At the first level the rider gets familiar with horses, grooming and equestrian equipment. The trainees, who can be between 7 and 77 of age, learn the basics of leisure riding.
For more ambitious riders there are advanced levels of competitive riding, jumping, galloping or harness racing. The riding course takes place in groups or individually and its duration depends on the abilities and the ambition of the rider.

Mini ponies are the highlight of our centre and can be ridden by the smallest children under the guidance of qualified trainers. The horses are exceptionally good-natured and very patient with children who can enjoy their company, feed and groom them and learn something about animals that they don't have a chance to meet in big cities. |

Zaton "Beach Tour" on horseback |
….”Unfortunately, words cannot convey the glorious feeling that overwhelmed us while we were horseback riding in the nature. The wind was blowing, the sea foaming, the sky was overcast and the mountain range Velebit could be seen in the distance. The terrain was grassy and soft. We rode past the small town of Nin and continued over pasture grounds and meadows, descended to the sea and rode on a sandy beach and into the sea. The horses waded through water, the wind whistled and it felt as if we were in another place and in another time. As everything comes to an end so did our tour. But what remained was a feeling of fulfilment and appreciation. Our memories and pictures of the magnificent horseback ride will always remind us of our beautiful experience. We strongly recommend that you try it too!
