My story with horses began very early, when I was around  three years old. My parents and grandparents placed me in a saddle for the first time. I don’t remember that moment, but they told me I was smiling. From that day on, horses became a part of my identity and story. From a young age, I was taught discipline, responsibility, and respect  and I was encouraged to dream. Even though many of those dreams seemed impossible at the beginning, I never let go of them. There were many obstacles along the way, but step by step, through persistence and belief, I turned those dreams into reality. I learned wherever I could , riding and working in ranches and equestrian clubs. Over the years, I worked as a stable manager, riding instructor, educator of young children, and as a guide for tourist riding tours. Leading both locals and visitors through trails and landscapes, sharing the beauty, culture, sport , and spirit of Croatia on the backs of our equine friends. I taught both in the saddle and on the ground, focusing strongly on groundwork, communication, and trust between horse and human. Nine years ago, I found my place of peace. I met her — my mixed-breed mare, who is also my heart horse. It was love at first sight. For years, I watched her from a distance, feeling a strong, unspoken connection. After many ups and downs, successes and failures, she became mine. Today, after everything we have been through, we stand together  just the two of us  in our small paradise in Croatia. I was raised in the city, but my heart always belonged to the countryside. At a certain point in life, I clearly understood what I truly wanted — without being pushed or forced by anyone. That realization changed everything. My message is simple and honest: "Do what you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life" . Later, I joined an equestrian club farther from my home, where I achieved important results with the club and their horses. I have completed licenses in endurance, dressage, jumping, as well as a riding license ,competed in endurance discipline,fell, laughed, and grew. Along this path, I also completed my certification in Emmett Therapy for horses (level 1), adding another dimension to my work focused on horse wellbeing, body balance, and gentle therapeutic approaches. I truly believe that growth comes through failure, patience, and learning through the people who walk beside us. Friends, mentors, family, and my partner have always been my greatest support, and I am truly grateful to them for everything.
