Horse Ride through Big Valley Sarajevo

Mind restore

"The "Horse ride through Big Valley" outside Sarajevo. What I like the most about it is the horses themselves. They're my alter-ego..."

If you like horses, but not riding them, you should take a carriage ride when at Big Valley of Bosna River Spring.

There are numerous carriages and beautiful horses you can choose from. You can take great photos, pet the horses, feed them, or just enjoy their presence.  

I don't like horses I simply love them. They are my alter-ego.

When at this valley, regardless of if I'm running, taking a bike ride or just walking, I never pass the horses without petting them and feeding them with carrots and sugar cubes.

The ride lasts about 10 minutes and it is around 3 km long. It takes you to the National park of the Bosna river spring.

When walking those 3 km, many carriages pass you by and you can enjoy the sound that horseshoes make when they clop on the ground.

Horseshoes may bring luck, but horsehugs or just a touch can bring such calm... it's a calm from outer space.

Enjoy the carriage ride and make sure you turn off all stressful thoughts and just restore your mind in calm.
