SKJ (horse riding skills contest) is a riding and fitness competition for children and young people at every level - everyone is welcome (ages 5-18)! Tasks in horse riding, knowledge of horses and tack, and skill around the horse - before and after the ride. Team and individual events - no pressure, plenty of humour 😉 🏇. Small prizes for the winners, a gift for everyone. A bonfire together at the end 🔥. We provide the horses (you do not need to bring your own horse 🙂).
Let's get to know each other 🙂 - before you leave your child with us
If you make a pre-reservation (no payment), you can come with your child to our "Let's get to know each other" session: 30 min one-to-one with an instructor for 35 PLN (half the price of a regular 30 min). Terms below.
What is SKJ (horse riding skills contest)?
SKJ is an idea and a brand of Horseback, in line with our mission. Every recreational rider deserves the excitement of sport - without a licence or competitive pressure. We created an all-round riding and fitness contest that focuses not only on riding technique but also on knowledge of tack and theory and on general fitness. It rewards enthusiasm and a general "horse sense" rather than technical riding skills alone.
We created SKJ for amateurs - recreational riders (children, young people and adults). It offers the excitement of sport and the thrill of competition to people who take riding lessons as a hobby rather than as competitive training.
Events are adapted to the participants' age. There are individual and team events. Sometimes our SKJ competitions also include family and cross-country events.
The exact routes and courses of SKJ are announced once the competition starts. The course is matched to the riders' skills and age, with separate classes for those riding at a walk, trot and canter.
We welcome you all year round: four seasons with us
