Welcome to the website of Pod Vrškama Farm. Our family-run stable is located in Čeletice at the foot of the Bohemian Forest (Šumava), at an altitude of 850 meters above sea level. This location allows us to breed horses in a clean mountain environment, where they have 40 hectares of vast pastures at their disposal.
Why choose us:
- Ideal climate: From spring to autumn we utilize vast pastures; in winter, the horses spend their time on the snow, not in the mud.
- Training facilities: Sand arena (25 x 60 m) with jumping equipment and a solid round pen.
- Harmony of sport and nature: We combine the principles of Natural Horsemanship with classical equestrian sport.
Experience we build on
In 25 years of practice, hundreds of horses have passed through our hands. Our philosophy has also proven successful with top-level athletes who spend time in the herd on our pastures, which provides them with the mental well-being to deliver their best performances. Currently, we care for more than 60 horses. Our goal is a horse that is mentally balanced, willing to cooperate, and physically fit thanks to movement in hilly terrain.
From a dream to a 40-hectare farm in the Bohemian Forest.
Our story did not begin in a horse-owning family, but with a childhood dream in Prague. The journey from the first lessons at the Hucul Club to building our own facility at 850 m above sea level was long, but it was worth it. We built Pod Vrškama Farm literally from the ground up. Today we live doing what we love, and our results in sport and our references are proof that the combination of honest breeding and patient training works.
Our philosophy: A horse must be a horse first and foremost.
We believe that even a top-level sport horse is most content in a herd on pasture. This approach allows us to combine international-level eventing with a natural lifestyle for the horses. Our experience does not come only from textbooks, but from daily life among dozens of horses of various characters and ages.
