The team at Kajak.mk is exploring the Demir Hisar region in order to offer you as many attractions as possible in this area that will inspire you to visit.

For those who want to use their free days to explore new areas and villages, we share another suggested destination, the "Gara" ranch, which is now part of the Kajak.mk base.

Our local hero Goce says that anyone who wishes can learn to ride a horse. According to him, all that’s needed is for tourists not to be lazy and decide to visit the village of Sladuvo, which is located 3 kilometers from Demir Hisar and can be reached by car.

Goce shared his story about how he fell in love with horses. For him, love means loving what your heart tells you to love, and his heart tells him to love horses.

His horses are mares named Gara and Zvezda. He has loved these animals since he was a child, but circumstances didn’t allow him to raise horses. He remembers constantly waking up as a child, all sweaty, because he dreamed of riding horses.

Today, horses are an inseparable part of his life. He tells Kajak.mk that he wants to understand horses in his own special way. He has written his own book titled "I Will Teach You to Ride a Horse," which he says is based on his personal views and experiences that he wants to share with others.

The village where he raises and keeps the horses is perfect for active tourism. Spring and summer there are beautiful. Wonderful landscapes, untouched nature, and clean streams. These are some of the main reasons that would encourage you to choose a horseback tour in this region.

On the other hand, Goce is developing a riding school concept, where participants will acquire the basic knowledge they need to know about horses, learn how to communicate and manage the horse, precision in giving commands, trail riding, and mastering the trot and canter.

The village of Sladuvo is located in Zheleznik, in the eastern part of the Demir Hisar Municipality territory, right next to the Demir Hisar-Kichevo or Krushevo road and the course of the Black River. The village is flat, at an altitude of 635 meters.
