Tanks, Horses, Beasts: Guided Excursion at Equestrian Club with Tea Party

What to Expect

Spend the whole day outside the city without getting bored - that's what you'll find here! Our equestrian club is located on 14 hectares near Moscow. Once the best cabbage in the Moscow region grew here, during the war there were fierce battles for the capital - and recently the most modern equestrian sports complex in Russia has appeared. Over time, the territory has expanded, and now people come here not only to communicate with horses, but also to appreciate the collection of military equipment, as well as to see rare animals in their natural habitat.

Visiting the horses
In the club's stables, you will learn how horses live, where they walk, and why there is a 'sea' of kinetic sand, sun every day, and an aqua treadmill in the stable. You will see what conditions are created for the training of professional riders and hear stories about unusual types of equestrian sports.

Tales of steel giants
At the Museum of Russian Military History, you will encounter a collection of living legends: Red Army armament, wartime posters, photographs, letters, and documents. A separate building is dedicated to armored vehicles: from the very first serial Soviet tank MS-1 to the modern T-90. You will see exhibits that participate annually in parades on Red Square. Some of them are so unique that only 2 copies exist!

In the world of animals
ZOO-SAD is an international standard zoo (non-contact!), where 300 amusing and rare animals live on an area of over 2000 sq.m. Here you will observe a tiny playful monkey and a dwarf possum, a porcupine and hedgehogs, squirrels and groundhogs, as well as goats and rabbits of unusual breeds. And you will also treat some of the zoo's pets with special food.

After a guided tour of the zoo, stables, and museum, a tea party awaits you at the cafe with pastries. Not tired yet? Children can play on indoor and outdoor playgrounds, adults can take a walk in the park with a pond and a waterfall. In winter, there is a toboggan slide, in summer - a multifunctional sports ground and a barbecue area (for an additional fee). And of course, we await you as spectators at show jumping and dressage competitions.

• I or another guide from our team will conduct the tour for you
• By prior appointment (at least 2 weeks in advance), participation in horse riding training is possible (cost from 4950 rubles)

How to get from Moscow

• By public transport: from Rizhsky or Kursky railway stations by train to Nahabino station, then by buses No. 20 or 21 to the village of Pokrovskoye. Then about 4 km on foot or by taxi. Another option - from Shchukinskaya or Strogino metro stations, take minibus No. 480 and get off at the stop 'Pavlovskaya Sloboda', then take a taxi for about 6 km.
