Lithuanians have always considered the horse to be a special animal and a friend. During pagan times, our ancestors used to pray to them; they worked the land with them and kept the enemy out of Lithuania with them. You can learn about the entire history of our horses in the district of Anykščiai at the Horse Museum, and as long as you’re there, don’t pass up the chance to try saddling up yourself.
If you’ve never done this before, an instructor will help you, and if riding is your passion, then go out around Vilnius or take in the fantastic views around Kaunas.
