Táltos Paripa Equestrian Center
Riding for young and old in a quiet little village at the foot of the mountains.
Horse and rider in harmony
Táltos Paripa is an equestrian center in the village of Mereni (Almás) in Covasna county, 16 km from Târgu Secuiesc. We teach beginners and advanced riders, children and adults alike.
The principles of classical dressage are at the heart of everything we do, because riding is at its best when the horse enjoys it as much as the rider.
With two covered arenas, lessons go ahead in any weather, and the surrounding hills and mountains offer endless trails.
