Babakovo Racetrack: welcome to the races!

Annually, Bablykovo racetrack, a small town located in the vicinity of the city of Voronezh, attracts tens of thousands of tourists and fans of equestrian sport. The stud farm and the hippodrome are located far from the village.

This is a real entertainment complex, which is called "Russian Manor". In addition to the hippodrome, it also includes a riding school, an equestrian club, a restaurant and a recreation center.

Revival of traditions

Today Babyakovo Race Track is an economy in which about three hundred thoroughbred horses are kept. Less than thirty percent of the animals belong to private individuals. Babakovo Racetrack gives them a stall and renders the service of caring for a horse. The rest of the horses are the so-called sports animals that take part in the races, as well as the rolling horses.

Hire of horses

At idle tourists traditionally the greatest interest is caused precisely by rolling animals. Paying a symbolic fee, each guest who arrived at the Babakovo racetrack gets a unique opportunity to talk with these beautiful and graceful animals.

The riding process is controlled by experienced instructors who, if necessary, will present a couple of lessons, and will follow the correct landing, as well as the correct position of the legs. Sometimes even the most experienced riders will take and accidentally forget that the heel should be pulled down, but the sock - in the direction of the horse.

All horses employed at the box office have a fairly meek and easy-going temper. Patting them is unlikely to succeed, as long as they are in the stall, but they do not refuse to give free gifts.

What do local horses like? Like everyone else - a fresh and crunchy carrot. Stock up to her properly, going to the racetrack.

Babiakovo - Voronezh - shuttle bus, which runs hourly between the village and the regional center. The fare hardly exceeds forty rubles.

All in an adult way

And now let's talk about what the stands and the race circle themselves represent, which form the main race track for Babakovo (Voronezh). The races here are held on schedule, which is published on the official website, a hundred meters from the rental site of horses. The whole area is lined with paving slabs, and the sports complex itself is a glazed building of capital construction.

From the stands a breathtaking view opens over a grassy race circle. The ascent to the stands is carried out on concrete staircases. Armchairs, as it should, plastic. They are painted in tricolor. The sports season at the racetrack starts on the 8th of May. Ends on October 2 with a draw of eminent prizes.

At the height of the sports season, horse racing is held once in two weeks. In winter, you can periodically see competitions of riders in the art of jumping and general technique of dressage. Demonstration performances are held on specially prepared for these purposes venues.

Additional services

All year long the visitors of the racecourse are served by a restaurant. In summer, there is an open cafe with a special menu for the youngest. All events that take place at the racetrack in Babyakovo are designed for family visits.

The equestrian school operating on the territory of the complex takes children, who are already twelve years old, for training in horse riding. As for the kids, they train on ponies. Training in riding takes place twice a week on weekdays.

With adult riders, regardless of the level and experience of riding are engaged individually. Training takes place both outdoors and indoors.

On days when the racecourse is empty, there are thematic photo sessions and even festive celebrations and wedding ceremonies. To the same visitors who are still not ready to begin their own riding on horseback, the "Russian Manor House" offers walks on triples or single-sleds.
