You arrive at a charming family-run riding club near Comrat and spend your first minutes meeting the horses: learning how they move, how to approach them, and what they respond to. The instruction starts with the fundamentals of connection before you ever mount: how to hold the reins, where your weight goes, what the horse feels through your hands. Then comes the riding itself, taught at a pace that suits you, in a warm and relaxed setting without the pressure of competition or performance.
The 90 minutes unfolds on the Budjak steppe, where you alternate between riding and walking alongside the animals. A guide in English, Russian or Ukrainian stays with you throughout, adjusting the lesson to what you're picking up. The club captures cinematic photos and short videos during the session (the kind of footage that works for social media), so you leave with proof of what you did, not just the memory of it.
Safety helmets and vests are provided. The experience suits all physical fitness levels, though it's not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, poor cardiovascular health, or pregnancy. Public transportation options run nearby if you're coming from Comrat without a car.
Is this one for you?Book this if you're a family with children from age 10 up, or a small group of friends wanting to learn together in a relaxed, non-competitive setting. The fixed 90-minute format and family-run pace work best for first-time riders and anyone who wants instruction without pressure.
Top questions
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English, Russian and Ukrainian.
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (10 to 17 years). Children under 10 can't be included in the booking.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
What's the difference between a pony ride and a riding lesson here?
The pony ride is leisurely and short. The riding lesson is the core of the 90 minutes, where you learn the basics of balance, steering and connection with the horse. Both happen during the same session, with instruction woven through.
Do I need any riding experience to book this?
No. The lesson starts with the absolute basics (how to approach the horse, how to sit, how to hold the reins), so complete beginners are the norm here.
What happens with the photos and videos?
The guide captures cinematic footage during your session that you can use for social media (Reels, TikTok, etc.). You receive the files so you can share them or keep them for yourself.
Is this on the Budjak steppe itself?
Yes. The riding club sits in the heart of the steppe near Comrat, so you're riding and walking through that landscape, not in an arena or enclosed space.
