Itinerary

Day 1 - Irkutsk – Listvyanka
We meet you in the village. Listvyanka or Irkutsk.
We place them in a local hotel.
Then we head to our Tyuryumin Estate, and continue our acquaintance with the inhabitants of the Estate.
Today is the first day for you to meet your future friends on the road – horses of the local improved breed.
During the conversation, the coach will tell you about the elements of riding, tell you about safety, about the individual characteristics of horses.
The most necessary thing is to learn a trotting gait, in which the rider must work in the rhythm of the horse's movement.
This skill is not very difficult, but it is very important.
Seeing that you are fine with movement coordination and you feel the horse, then you will have more time to manage yourself in a fenced arena (under the supervision of your coach, with his wise tips and recommendations during your training or gaining new experience).
Then we go out on a short route along the forest paths.
After the walk, we return to the Manor.
You will have free time, which you can devote to sightseeing the Estate or take a walk through the tourist village of Listvyanka.
