OPG SOKO -Konjički Klub SOKO
Equestrian Club Soko Pazin, located in the stunning Istria region of Croatia, offers a unique opportunity to discover the beauty of the landscape, culture, and gastronomy while riding magnificent Arabian sport horses. Our club is dedicated to both experienced riders and beginners looking to explore the enchanting environment of Istria.
At the heart of our club is the Soko Endurance Team, renowned as one of the most successful endurance racing teams in Croatia. Led by Milan Jurkovic, an internationally certified endurance trainer (FEI level 1), our team consists of talented young riders from across Istria. Together, we are committed to promoting endurance riding as an exhilarating sport that fosters strong connections between riders and their horses.
Endurance racing tests the limits of physical and mental strength for both horse and rider, with races ranging from 40 to 160 km. It’s not just a sport; it's a team effort that emphasizes collaboration and camaraderie among riders and support crews.
Experience Istria's breathtaking natural landscapes through our specially designed trail riding routes. Our knowledgeable professional riders and international equestrian trainers will guide you through scenic spots, including the Lim Fjord area and the historical city of Dvigrad.
We offer rides two times a day during the summer—morning sessions from 7 am to 11 am and evening sessions from 6 pm to 9 pm. Each ride can last between 1 to 4 hours, catering to various experience levels and preferences.
Founded in 2001 by the Jurković family, Equestrian Club Soko began with a single horse named Sokol (Eagle). Today, our independent equestrian organization comprises over thirty dedicated riders, trainers, and horse enthusiasts, along with twenty-five expertly trained sport horses. While our primary focus is on endurance racing, we also provide an engaging riding school and arrange unforgettable trail rides for our visitors.
We have two locations in Istria: one in the village of Selina (west coast) and another in Slokovici (central Istra, near Pazin). Feel free to reach out to us for inquiries or to book your ride.
Our opening hours are from 8 am to 8 pm, seven days a week. We look forward to welcoming you at Equestrian Club Soko Pazin!
