Swimming With Horses – Samys Ranch Medulin

There are experiences that are simply unlike anything else. Swimming With Horses at Samys Ranch in Medulin is one of them. Ride along the Istrian coastline, let your horse find its rhythm in the shallows, and when the moment feels right, wade together into the Adriatic. This is the kind of experience that stays with you long after you leave Istria – raw, joyful, and completely authentic. IN MOTION provides private chauffeur transfer from your hotel to Samys Ranch and back.

The Ranch

Samys Ranch is located in Medulin at Saraja 109, approximately 25-30 minutes from central Pula. The ranch is set in the southern Istrian landscape – between the sea and the hills, with the kind of quiet that makes you understand why horses and humans have spent thousands of years together in this part of the world. Both beginners and experienced riders are welcome; all sessions are guided by professional handlers who ensure the comfort and safety of both riders and horses.

The Experience

The session begins with an introduction to your horse and a brief orientation. You then ride along the coastal paths of southern Istria – following tracks through the Mediterranean scrubland and along the waters edge – before reaching the sea. What follows is genuinely magical: horse and rider entering the Adriatic together, the horse swimming freely while you hold on, feeling the water lift and carry you both.

For All Ages and Abilities

Samys Ranch welcomes guests of all experience levels. Children are welcome with parental supervision. Beginners and children under 8 ride at walking speed only. The experience is designed to be accessible, warm, and genuinely memorable – not a performance for tourists, but a real encounter with horses in their natural coastal environment.
