In the Year of the Horse, equestrian tourism in Zainsky District could become a winter holiday hit.

      Near Zainsk you can not only ride wonderful horses, but literally settle into a winter fairy tale.

      A report from a place where time slows down, and the main magicians are the horses and the enthusiasm of their owner, Zulfat Mardamshin. While the clock prepares to strike the last seconds of the outgoing year, and homes smell of tangerines and pine, there is a place where celebration and magic live year-round. It is 25 kilometers from the city's bustle, in the picturesque surroundings of the village of Srednie Pinyachi.

      The equestrian club, created through the efforts of hereditary horse breeder Zulfat Mardamshin, has long become for the people of Zainsk and visitors to the district an island of harmony. Here, among snowy fields and quiet forest paths, a person relearns to feel unity with nature. And the main guides on this journey are the intelligent, kind and noble horses.

      The coming 2026 year is the Year of the Horse! For the equestrian club this is a doubly fortunate symbol. The horse has long personified swiftness, loyalty, diligence and luck. It is precisely these qualities that Zulfat has invested in his life's work, reviving the culture of equestrian tourism on Zainsk soil.

      And though winter rages outside the window — life here is in full swing! City residents come with their whole families to ride in sleighs or on horseback across the sparkling snow, to take unforgettable winter photo sessions in a fairytale atmosphere. Special programs are organized for guests with the participation of Ded Moroz himself, who, it turned out, is also a great fan of horseback rides!

      "The horse is a friend who teaches us to be braver and kinder," says Zulfat Mardamshin. "To meet the year named after it in the saddle is the best way to charge yourself with its energy for all 12 months."

      So let's welcome 2026 — the year of the swift, beautiful and kind Horse — with faith in ourselves, with love for our native land and in harmony with nature. And true harmony, as is known, begins with the jingle of harnesses and the clatter of hooves on Zainsk snow.

      Happy New Year! To new routes and happy discoveries!
