With THE support OF LEARN, a project to support the sport of riders has been successfully implemented
I was born in a city, and i had never touched the rural life unless i lived in the outskirts of the city, where my parents had their own garden, a couple of chickens and a pigeon. I got to the horses at the age of 11. One afternoon after the school classroom, she asked if i wanted to join a group of hypologies, you could learn to ride a horse. Yes! I didn't hesitate for a moment, climbed the bus, and drove to the stalls. At that time, Voronova had a large horse farm “Sovetskaya Latvia”. Ligita Harchevsky was guided by the hypology group. There were two horses, on which we, a group of children, learned the First Skills, a strong and prim. If you looked at the “human child”, then the horse that Boņuks was riding was the same prim! I remember that we had all the horses that we could clean and cheat. I had a small black trammel chain in Isahora. Of_course, it was too little to chuckle and clean up for a moment, and we were saddled with my girlfriend, and no one was going out to get out. The girlfriend held, i crawled and walked proudly to his Isahora. It wasn't ten minutes before we saw us, got a crack and brought the mare inside. I knew later that Isahora had never been married. The great riders saw this heroic work, saddled Isahora on the next day and sat on top of them, but the little black chain showed a decent rodeo, and it still remained silent. Isahora might be distinguished, who went to her with a bread-bribe and cheated every holiday.
The existence of the hypology was not long – the time of change came, Latvia disposed of Soviet Union. The horses were sold, the stockpile was lost, the big new stallion built near the old and where only the unfinished inner works had left, was smashed through the bricks and turned into a rubble of debris. Only three girls had left the whole hypology. In Ligita's supervision, we rode for a while without saddles. The hot summer days were even quite comfortable, because we were literally stuck to a sweaty horse.
As the owner of the stables changed, Diana Safronov began to work as a horse-grower. There were about 20 horses, foal-mothers and nearby horses. We had only three girls in the stable. Someone_else joined him, but he did not stay long. Since there was no choice, he had to take and train young horses. I was 13 years old.
Years went, and the summer stalk ran away. I bought my first horse from Voronova. In 1999, the stallion ceased to exist. As i recall all these years of youth, i had to express my greatest gratitude to Ligita and Diana. Thank you for the opportunities you have given and be with horses, your time, work and knowledge.
I was thinking all the time i wanted my own country house to keep horses. I wanted so much that there was an opportunity to implement this dream. Settled in the vicinity of Rezekne IN THE parish OF Griškānu. Over time, the herd grew to eleven horses. I work with horses, teach them and try to participate in contour competitions as far as possible. Growing Latvian sports-type horses. For several years, an English purebred eagle expert was used on the farm. Currently, two of his daughters are left in breeding mare.
On the holding, the surface area with the sand cover is established. I used tyres and birch cards instead. It was so uncomfortable, the difficulty of putting the required height when the card fell, and the whole tyre pyramid. I therefore seek the opportunity to get a high-quality set of obstacles. And the chance came! In the summer of 2018, “Support for the creation and development of enterprises in Rezekne municipality” was launched in the competition “Rural Economic Development in Rēzekne District” (LEARN). Project with No. 10-GR07/2018 “Purchase of plastic barrier safety-system kit“ Advanced ”was supported and successfully implemented in November. Also, a farm holding which did not officially exist since 2003 was registered in the register of companies under the name“ SIA ”Hevo.
I am currently working not only with horse breeding and stocking, but i am also trying to support the sport of riders. It is not only in the area of the holding but also on the trip. I wait in the summer to visit the young horses. I had a dream of organising contextural competitions in Rēzekne District. After a seminar on social entrepreneurship, there was an idea that the company could also operate in this area.
I express my thanks to the LEARN Foundation for the funding granted and thank THE EXECUTIVE Director of THE LEARN, Dainai Bulter, for his support and advice for the preparation of the project application!
