Ohajko Riding School
Horseback riding for children in the Oravský Háj resort
Horseback riding for children
At Oravský Háj, we believe that a bond with animals starts in childhood. That’s why we created Ohajko Riding School – a place where children can learn to ride in a playful and safe way, discover the basics of equestrian ethics, and develop a beautiful connection with nature.
Open to all children from 4 years of age, Ohajko welcomes little ones who love animals, dream of riding horses, or simply want to try something new. No previous experience is needed – just curiosity and a desire to experience something special.
More than just horseback riding
Ohajko is a long-term developmental program where children build self-confidence, responsibility, and empathy. Through regular lessons, they steadily improve their riding skills, celebrate progress, and fall in love with the world of horses in a safe and supportive environment.
