Horseback riding

Ranch Mackadam is home to four Criollo Definitivo horses, accompanied by a family of sheep, cats and dogs.

The Criollo breed Definitively like the mustangs of South America.
There they are known as reliable workhorses, but also as a status symbol.

The Story of Our Horses

Our first horse, Mack, was captured in the wild pastures of Uruguay in 2000 and brought by boat to Tuscany, Italy, and from there to Slovenia.
He was later joined by Zorro, Messi, Montevideo and Bobo the pony.

Riding the Natural Trails

At our ranch we have a riding area or manege, which is intended for training horses, for beginners and younger riders. Alongside it, we also offer off-road riding and riding trips – there are attractive trails for riding in the natural environment in practically all directions (Udin Boršt, Bistriška planina, Senično, Golnik, Naklo, mountain huts on the slopes of Košuta) and many shorter natural trails in our surroundings.

We have been to many countries and places around the world, but we have never experienced a place like this and the associated hospitality. The owner and his partner make you feel comfortable from day 1. We will definitely return here and know in advance that it will be a pleasant stay.
