Who
we are?
The equestrian club "Ranch W" was founded in
1995. The primary interest of the club is to bring forward
country riding in touristic and sport area. To give popularity to
trekkings, the club organized several of them, from the three day
winter climb on Slavnik to the eight day summer ride near the
Coast, over the Carst and the Brkini hills. Members of the club
was took part to the "Snow Mountain Cavalry" in august
'96 for the hard climb to the top of the mountain. The
competition that intersts the club is the long distance riding,
the endurance, but not only to compete for the "Ranch

coutry riding
The Club is orientaited mainly to country
riding. Begginers must normally have a riding
course on the nearby fields, but very soon they
are iniciated to the beauties and problems of the
country riding. The surrounding offers different
types of terrain so even in short rides you
encounter slopes and descends, crossing streams
and rivers, you ride through woods and spiny
bushes and the plain Vanganel valley with it's
soft ground is ideal for safe gallops.
Trekking
In the Trekking Section od the "Ranch
W" operate extreme riders, who can't be
satisfied with usual country riding and want
every day more. Interesents are prepaired with
all-day rides in every weather and then can join
few days trips. Expert trekkers of the
"Ranch W" rode many long trips and
found several routes ideal for touristic
trekkings. Even the freezing cold couldn't stop
them in February 1994 for the winter climb of the
Slavnik nor the rainy spring for a four day
trekking ridden completely in the rain. The most
impressive remains the eight day solitary
trekking of the Lone Rider in July 1996 and in
August the Section was guest of the Cavalry of
Ilirska Bistrica for the climb of the Snow
Mountain. For September 14th and 15th the Section
organized a mass march on the Slavnik where we
will be joined by the Cavalry of Ilirska
Bistrica.
