4 Day Incredible Forest Tours on Horseback at a Western Style Ranch in Kočevsko, Slovenia

Everyone working, living, or helping at the ranch and doing it with one goal - enjoying nature, breathing fresh air, eating healthy food, and enjoying in horse riding. With 35 professionally trained horses, multiple dogs, cats and other animals, we believe you will enjoy every minute of the time spent with them. Ranch Marina has several unique barbecue places, where you can enjoy in nature while you make your own food, supplied by the ranch.

You will be able to see wild animals like foxes, rabbits and deer while riding. For those of you that are even more adventurous - observing brown bears just before the night comes would be a true experience.

The horses

On the Ranch Marina, you will mostly find American quarter and Paint horses, but also Haflingers and like on any other ranch, a pony. Every horse has a personality of its own. You will see they aren't just beautiful but can also be funny, smart, calm and friendly. Some of them are also winners in the reining categories around Europe.
