Once you are in horse centre , you will certainly be fascinated by these graceful animals.

Azerbaijan Horses-national wealth

Azerbaijan horses were cultivated in ancient times in different regions of Azerbaijan - Garabagh, Guba, Baku, Gazakh, and others .In the territory of Azerbaijan in the Alikomektepe were found tired horse bones belonging to the first half of the 4th millennium. Two of the 260 species of horses grown in the world - Garabagh and Dilbaz horses have emerged in Azerbaijan as a result of the national selection and belong to the Azerbaijan people.

The center is located in a very pleasant, spacious and well-maintained area. There are also a large number of horses and small ponies. Feeding them will be a great opportunity for your children. There is also a possibility for children to ride the pony. However, since at weekends there are a lot of school trips and tourists, you will have to wait for a pony ride quite long.

If you are hungry, you can enjoy outdoor restaurant here or bring your meal and use picnic tables. Access to the centre, children's playground and horses are free.
