Four horses. One small family ranch — minutes from the waterfalls of Plitvice Lakes National Park.
Some kids collected toys. I collected horses — and one day, I had four.
From a childhood shelf full of tiny plastic figures to opening a ranch minutes from Plitvice Lakes, Ranch 201 was never a business plan. It was the thing I couldn't stop doing. The name came from horse number 201 — the one who started it all in the spring of 2023 — and the family grew from there.
Every ride is personal. I pick the horse that fits you, walk beside first-timers, and ride ahead when you're ready to move. No queues. No rushing. Just the forest, the horses, and the sound of hooves on soft earth.
— Sara · Ranch 201 · RakovicaEach one picked and raised to carry someone through the forests around Plitvice. Here's who you'll ride with.
Four things to know before you come. No surprises, no fine print, no upsells.
Never touched a horse? You're who we built this for. Sara picks the calmest horse and walks beside you the whole ride.
Helmets, guidance, and trail-tested horses — all part of the ride. Just bring long pants and closed shoes.
Every ride comes with photographs. Sara takes them as you go. No upcharge, no selling them back — they're yours.
We ride in sun, cloud, and light drizzle — but not in storms. If the weather turns, we'll reach out and reschedule.
Choose the length. We handle the rest — safety gear, guide, photos, and the right horse for your experience level.
Perfect for first-timers. A relaxed loop through the forest trails with Sara alongside you. You'll learn the basics, meet your horse, and come back with photos.

Sara is incredible. She matched me with the perfect horse for my first time riding, stayed beside me the whole hour, and we came back with photos I still look at. It felt like a private tour, not a tourist stop.
We booked the two-hour ride after visiting Plitvice Lakes and it was the highlight of our entire trip. The horses are beautiful, the forest trails are quiet, and Sara's love for her animals is contagious. Bring a camera.
Our two kids rode Brandy and Blacky and have not stopped talking about it since. No pressure, no queues, just a small family ranch that actually cares. If you're near Plitvice, do this.
Send a message and Sara will get back to you with available slots, the right horse for you, and everything you need to bring.
