of winter morning, drink Stirrup’s Wineglass handed over by a young lady dressed
in 19 century gown.
Main attractions: Meeting with Bread and
Salt.
More than 40 thoroughbred horses, specially trained for the

Irrespective of
horseback riding skills safety hunting.
Lunch outdoors with traditional
Russian dishes and tea from samovars warmed on fire and wonderful folklore
show.
Riding in Russian carriage “troika” to the Luzhezky Monastery and

Notes: The hunting won’t be trophy, the
goal of the program isn’t to catch an animal but to find yourself in 19 century

nobility surveying their estates escorted by greyhounds. |
