Summary: The horseback riding experience at Metsapiiga Talu was truly special and memorable! Before the trip, you could get to know the horse better, brush it and prepare it, which gave the ride a much more personal meaning. The trip lasted approximately 3 hours and went through the beautiful nature of Jõgevamaa. Wonderful views, peaceful forests and spacious fields. I definitely recommend it!
