There are places in Russia where horse tours can be carried out for 5-7 months a year. For example, in the Krasnodar Territory and Adygea. And there are those where you need to catch the sunny days. In particular, in the Urals or in Buryatia.  Winter equestrian tourism in some regions is also possible. If the climate allows, there is no danger of avalanches, the roads are suitable for walking, then why not.

Khakassia

 

In Khakassia, horse trails are laid past caves, graves and ancient buildings. These trails are designed for lovers of history and archeology. Barrow burial grounds and rock carvings are also found in the region. All this is combined with beautiful nature, surrounded by streams and mountain rivers. Routes are mainly designed for people with average training.

 

Buryatia offers horse trails of varying degrees of difficulty. Most of them include  Shumak Pass and lead to waterfalls and mineral springs. Tourists are usually offered strong and  calm horses of Mongolian or Buryat breeds. Tours last no more than a week - this time is enough to see all the sights and admire nature.

Altai

 

Horse tours in Altai pass through meadows, steppes and taiga. They are designed both for beginners and professionals who will have to cross the mountainous terrain. There are also rivers, lakes and waterfalls. But in order to fully enjoy the nature, it is better to take an instructor with you - it will be safer.

Ural

 

This region is not suitable for winter tours due to its climate and landscape. But in the warm season, you can make a grand transition through the South Urals. The route runs through the taiga, rich in mushrooms and berries, with crossings over the river.
