Welcome to our home

Riding holidays in the Eagle Mountains

A Dutch family, a herd full of character and endless forest trails in the Czech Republic.

A place where you feel at home

The Eagle Trail Ranch

We are Edwin, Inga and our daughters Lisanne and Mabel. On our ranch in the little village of Písečná, family comes first: you eat with us, ride with us and feel at home within a day.

The ranch sits in the middle of 24 hectares of our own land, surrounded by rolling meadows and untouched forests. Whether you want a week in the saddle or simply want to enjoy the Czech countryside, you are very welcome.

More than riding

Non-riders have a great time with us too.

Every single one of them is a star

Our herd

Our ranch is home to 24 horses, although this number changes from time to time. They live outdoors all year round and each has its own breed and personality, so there’s a perfect match for every rider. Even after their riding days are over, they stay with us and enjoy their well-deserved retirement in the pasture.

  • Born
    Born

    Paint · gelding · 2011 ·

    Born is incredibly friendly and knows his role as the lead horse inside out. He knows exactly what is expected of him and knows the trails better than anyone.

  • Storm
    Storm

    Shagya Arabian · gelding · 2012

    Storm is a cheerful and curious horse who knows exactly where to find the horse treats! He seems to be the leader of the herd, but deep down, he’s not always quite as brave as he likes to pretend.

  • Mazzel
    Mazzel

    Connemara × Friesian · gelding · 2002 ·

    Mazzel is easy to ride and responds well to voice commands and gentle aids. He likes to go at his own pace and doesn’t let the rest of the group rush him.
