Visit the mini horses

children are interested in the animal world

Price: from 1480 RUB

Did you know that there are very small horses? Not ponies, but horses. This breed of horse can be safely kept at home or in a country house with a plot of 6 acres. They look more like cute plush toys - the height at the withers of a mini-horse does not exceed 86 centimeters, or even less. Thus, The height of a mini-horse is the same size as a large and medium-sized dog. So, on our excursion you will get to know them.

Miniature horses have a calm and friendly disposition. In addition to their small stature, their breeding was based on a very important trait for all Miniks without exception, namely their good disposition. The good nature of any of the minis can never compare with their “big” brothers. There is an opinion that an ordinary horse, but not very tall for its breed, often has a bad character. This in no way applies to mini-horses. Mini horses are a very special species. His main distinguishing quality is certainly his small stature and special kind horse character. They get along very well with children and become their best friends. Unlike other pets, mini horses require special care, which, as practice shows, brings pleasure and entertainment. Children love to comb the manes and braid fancy hairstyles for their pets. They love to walk with them and feed them. In addition to the joy it brings, a mini-horse will contribute to the development of such qualities in a child as responsibility and care.

The mini horse is smart, brave and beautiful learns various tricks - like a dog. She can simply be taught various commands - stand, lie down, sit, fetch, play ball, give a paw (or rather, a leg), neigh on command, jump on command, etc. You can teach her to start moving on command, and then, on command, change gaits - from a walk to a trot, from a trot to a gallop and again switching to a walk or a trot and a complete stop.

Visiting a private farm, we will see not only mini-horses, but also Shetland ponies(the smallest in their class), and we can also use them take a ride.

Good afternoon. 05/03/2016 I went on an excursion with my son and received a lot of positive emotions. The guide Pavel spoke very interestingly about mini horses. At the farm itself, we were given a tour and the children were allowed to pet, comb and feed these cute animals. Thank you. We will definitely go on other excursions with your travel agency.

08.08.15 \"Visiting the mini-horses\" . My daughter dreamed of making this trip. She is 10 years old. She has been interested in horses for a long time, reads, studies breeds, but has never had the opportunity to visit the stables. We are very grateful to the organizers for the opportunity to visit \"Zakharov's Peasant Farm\". This is a wonderful opportunity to meet amazing animals, learn and see firsthand how they live! The owners and workers of the farm are wonderful people! They are competent specialists in their difficult work, kind and responsive. The program is thoroughly thought out: getting to know the stables, different types of horses, ponies and mini-horses, riding and even drinking tea! The farm is perfectly clean and comfortable! How much effort, labor and health have been invested!!! Only positive emotions and words of gratitude. And the child’s assessment is probably the most important thing! Her dream came true!!! Thanks a lot! We plan to attend this wonderful event again. Special words of gratitude to the driver for comfortable travel along the difficult roads of the Moscow region and to the guide Pavel Maslov for an interesting story and creating a cozy atmosphere throughout the trip. I have only one wish: to increase the duration of my stay on the farm. I recommend it to parents with children! The children will be delighted!

05/17/2015 we went on an excursion\. The impressions are wonderful. Pleasant and inviting guide (Galina), polite driver, comfortable bus, right on the farm itself - interesting information about horses, easily understood by children, in general - a friendly atmosphere. A suitable collection point for waiting for all participants until departure is at McDonald's, i.e. under the roof. The rainy, cool weather did not affect my mood at all. Thank you very much!

On July 27, 2014, we went on an excursion with a 6-year-old child. I liked it very much, I recommend it to everyone! The tour was conducted by the owner of the farm, Elena Viktorovna, a very sweet, friendly and pleasant woman. She told us a lot of interesting things about the life of horses on the farm, about the farm itself, about the breeds and their characteristics. We took pictures, the child rode horses and brushed them (in the end he said that it’s easier to have a dog because it’s less hassle). Then we drank tea and cookies. Everything was fun and in a good mood. We really liked our guide, Pavel. He told me everything about horses, ponies, mustangs, etc. VERY interestingly. I didn’t want to sleep on the bus, I wanted to listen! Dmiry, the driver, also really liked him (he drove us there and back quickly and carefully). The bus was very comfortable and new, with good air conditioning. In general, the day off was wonderful, we also managed to get to our dacha....Thank you everyone!!!

The organization is excellent - no delays or conflict situations. The children, of course, are delighted! Adults too. Thank you very much! We recommend it to everyone.

Good afternoon. We were on the excursion "05/04/2014. I liked everything very much, the guide told the kids about mini horses, ponies, etc. quite interestingly and clearly. In general, everything was very positive. But there are a few comments: plan your seats on the bus more carefully, several people had tickets to the same places. It should be added to the description that buying a horse ride includes riding in a cart and on horseback. In principle, this would be great, if there was no time limit. Therefore, I count the time spent on the farm need to increase. Thank you.

Wonderful excursion! The guide was there on time, the bus departed without delays. We had a guide, Pavel. Many thanks to him for the interesting story during the road! So much information! The staff at the farm was pleasantly surprising. Everyone is very attentive, polite and friendly! Such people are very rare these days. I would like to wish them prosperity and that a rich sponsor appears) The farm is in excellent condition, everything is neat, but I can imagine with what effort all this is done. Rich people, help them a little! They deserve it! The horses are adorable, but it’s even unnecessary to talk about it. Our children (2 years 3 months and 4.5 years) really enjoyed it, it was interesting, exciting, they took part in everything. We had a wonderful guide at the farm, Svetlana. It's like a professional tour guide. Very competent speech, knows how to attract attention. All the children in the group listened to her with bated breath. A very nice girl. Bottom line: we recommend this excursion! Receive a huge charge of positive energy both from the animals themselves and from the people you encounter!

We went to the village of Senkino-Sekerino, where a farm for breeding mini-horses is located, at the end of April. This is a short (only 5 hours) but very interesting excursion, especially considering that we are not talking about ponies, but about real horses, only very, very small ones. From the Yugo-Zapadnaya metro station along Kaluzhskoe Highway it takes less than an hour. The excursion program is designed in such a way that it immediately becomes clear that the most important tourists on this trip are children. A guide from a travel agency. A travel store was waiting for the group not far from the metro station near McDonald's, which is very convenient - there is somewhere to run if necessary. On the way to the farm, Pavel very interestingly, in detail and most importantly, accessible to the children's audience, told how such small horses appeared, what mini-breeds there are, about the habits and character of the animals. It turns out that mini-horses have a very kind disposition, and they sleep not standing up, like ordinary horses, but lying down. The smallest horse on the planet is considered to be the mini Faladella breed - its height at the withers is only about 70 cm. This breed was bred by an Argentine farmer and received his sonorous name. There are also American miniature horses, which are excellent guides for blind people - they are very calm, even phlegmatic, and remember the terrain well. The third mini-breed, the Appaloosie, is distinguished by its unusual color, similar to the color of the Dalmatian. In horse breeding, this color is called “chubary”. Appaloosies have another feature - striped hooves. The farm breeds not only mini-horses, but also Shetland ponies, which are also considered the smallest in their class. The owner of the farm is called Konstantin Viktorovich, so the farm is also very affectionately called “Kostin Dvor”. The bus parked almost next to the stables. The building is very modern and does not look too much like a stable. On the first floor there were stalls for horses, on the second there were living quarters, a toilet, a living room, where we were given tea after the excursion. The premises are very clean, there is not even a specific stall smell. Opposite the stables is a spacious paddock, where we immediately saw small, cute and fluffy horses that looked like plush toys. They turned out to be very curious and one after another ran up to the wooden fence, affectionately poked their funny little faces into the outstretched children’s hands, and got to know each other. You should have seen the faces and eyes of the children, so many emotions at once - joy, tenderness, tenderness, care. Children suffering from cerebral palsy (cerebral palsy) are often brought to the farm for hippotherapy sessions - the farm also offers such a service. It happens that communication with a small horse does wonders. A female tour guide emerged from the stables and with difficulty gathered the children, who were passionate about horses, around her. to begin your walk around the farm. At the entrance to the stables there is a sheet on the wall with rules of behavior and safety precautions when handling horses. Children and adults were warned that in the stable they were not allowed to slam doors, run, shout, make noise, or stick their hands between the bars of the stall. You cannot approach a horse from behind - it may get scared and hit you hard. Rough handling of animals is prohibited. I liked one phrase in the rules - “A horse is noble by nature, not prone to hostility. If it becomes stubborn and even angry, consider that it is not its fault. Horses will not love you more if you are too soft. They feel safer, happier and better behaved when boundaries are clearly set." Apparently this rule applies not only to horses. The boundaries are delineated, the children are serious. We walked around all the stalls, saw where the horses sleep, what they are fed, how they shower, and learned what horse equipment is. We were shown a real miracle - a newborn foal, slightly larger than a toy poodle - so tiny, legs like matchsticks, but already standing firmly, resting his hooves on the floor, covered with clean, dry sawdust. The smallest Appaloosie horse on the farm is Roderick, with gray spotted fur, fluffy bangs that fall over his eyes and a fluffy tail that looks like a light train. Roderick can bow beautifully by extending his front leg slightly forward. The guide showed how to properly approach the horse a little from the side and give it food on your outstretched palm. If you brought gifts for the horses (peeled carrots are best), there is a special table in the stable at the entrance where you can put treats. Each child, under the guidance of a guide, approached Roderick and fed him a piece of carrot. The stallion quietly, with his lips alone, removed the treat from his palm and crunched with pleasure. It was funny. The guide explained that feeding the horses yourself is prohibited. Firstly, for safety reasons, and secondly, horses do not have a saturation center in the brain, and they are easy to overfeed. The stable has its own feeding regime, which is strictly observed. Horses are fed 8 times a day. Each horse eats 5 kg of hay, 1 kg of oats and 1 kg of apples or carrots. The stalls are equipped with automatic sippy cups. After talking with Roderick, the children were given colorful brushes and invited to go to the outdoor pen. There they showed us how horses are cleaned. Work began to boil, and soon the small herd was covered in hairstyles, ribbons and bows. And our clothes are all covered in mismatched wool. In the spring, horses shed heavily, shedding their warm and fluffy winter coat. Cats live on the farm. Mice often live in the oats that are fed to horses - they rustle, and the horses are frightened by the rustle. That's why cats are welcome here. Behind the stable building there is an arena where you can ride a horse. A child weighing no more than 35 kg can be placed on a small horse. Older and heavier children ride on Shetland ponies or in a cart. When riding, a child must wear a protective helmet on his head. Riding is paid for either immediately when purchasing a ticket, or at the farm after the fact. A ticket costs 250 rubles. Two hours flew by unnoticed. Before leaving we had some time to walk around the farm grounds. Behind the stables is a large pond where fish are raised. Fishing is paid.) There are several guest houses on the hill - you can rent them for the weekend if you wish. Nearby there is a children's playground and another open corral for dressage horses. Geese swarm at the water's edge. Near a decorative fence with clay jars sticking out on stakes, there is a very charming straw scarecrow.
Observing children of different ages while walking around the farm, I concluded that it is better to bring children over 3 years old on this excursion. Kids express their emotions very violently, but they do not perceive either their parents or the guide (which is understandable at their age), and screaming and making noise in the stable is prohibited. It is also very difficult to organize a group of children during an excursion if the parents themselves do not follow the established rules. And one more thing - in the stable there is a very beautiful horse named Kazbek. He is allergic to women's perfume, the smell of which causes him to cough violently. Therefore, if you are going on this excursion, refrain from using perfume on the day of the trip, take pity on the horse’s health, which is not so strong.

We invite schoolchildren and their parents to excursion to mini horses, during which adults and children will get to know amazing animals. Mini horse farm in the Moscow region– this is a unique place, the analogue of which is difficult to find in the whole world.
Mini horses- this is not a pony at all, as many people think. Nature and people - Argentine farmers, managed to create a unique, charming creature of the Farabella breed.
The equine character of these babies is distinguished by their understanding, calm and friendly disposition. Their innate jumping ability over various obstacles causes tenderness and delight. You will see all this on excursions to a mini horse farm.

These horses are perfectly trained and gentle with people and, especially, with children for whom horses become their best friends. They can be easily taught various commands, like a dog - stand, lie down, sit, play ball, give a paw (or rather, a hoof), neigh on command, etc.
Mini horses are indispensable when teaching children horse riding, because due to their size they do not cause fear of falling. Communication between a child and a small horse is not only the first step into the big world of equestrian sports, the effect of communication is simply invaluable, because it has a huge psychotherapeutic effect on the child’s nervous system.
Horse therapy has been known since the time of Hippocrates. This section of zootherapy is called hippotherapy. Specialists at the farm have developed various programs, taking into account the individual developmental characteristics of the child, communication difficulties, and any personal problems in the family and school.
We invite children and their parents to visit miniature animals, where you will learn how these wonderful creatures live and what they eat, what breeds live on a farm in the Moscow region, how to care for miniatures, how to clean and wash them, and about ammunition. When entering the stables you will be told important rules of behavior with animals.
At the end of the trip we will be shown the champion of the miniature appaloosa breed. Then guests go outside to the corral, where the horses can be cleaned, combed and fed.
At the end of the program you will be able to ride horses. Children weighing up to 30-35 kg can ride on horseback; older children and adults can ride in a light carriage or on a large horse. At your request, we are ready to organize for you tea party with sweets.
In the souvenir shop you will find many interesting themed souvenirs.
Duration of the excursion: 1 hour 30 minutes + 30 minutes for tea
Direction: 30 km. Kaluga highway.
Program cost per person:

The price of the excursion includes: bus, accompanying guide, excursion service at the farm
Additionally:
