In Georgia, the tradition of herding horses from the lowlands to the mountain uplands and from the mountains back to the lowlands’ pastures has kept. This is beautiful, a very emotional and interesting process. Most of our horses are taken to summer green pastures in the mountains every spring, we organise mountain tours there in the summer, and in October horses are taken back to the lowland pastures. Experienced riders are invited to this amazing journey. Covering 170 km in 4 days, with beautiful creatures, from Shatili through the Artani valley to the forests of Sabaduri!
