Kraljeva domačija Borovnica

Infotrade plus d.o.o. It is a family business. It was founded in 1991. The company deals with the preparation and management of business projects, the development of new products, services, new markets and business consulting. The company's core activity is project development, consulting and education.

An important project of the company is the development and establishment of the educational equestrian center (IKC) Royal Homestead Borovnica. The goal of the project is to carry out the restructuring of the classic Slovenian farm of the 20th century, into an innovative, service-oriented, rural business environment of the 21st century, which in a modern way connects the possibilities that the Slovenian countryside gives us with natural educational tourism.

We want to develop the brand "Kraljeva domačija Borovnica", which develops and implements various educational content in the field of equestrianism, according to the British Horse Society and other educational standards. We have set goals that are worth working for.

Why horses?
The horse will show you when you understand things right. Listen to the horse, because it always tells you the truth.

Horses are large and fast animals that make decisions according to their own feeling and not by what they think, because this is the only way they can ensure their survival. They are present at every moment and trust their intuition and the ability to feel in relation to people, other animals and the environment.

Horse and Man
In communication with people, horses actually react as communication takes place and not as we sometimes think that communication takes place. Horses understand very well our messages of non-verbal communication, which we are sometimes not even aware of. They immediately detect any discrepancy between our actions and emotions and react accordingly. Their answers are honest and convey information about our communication, emotions, actions and behavior.

Mutual cooperation with the horse offers us invaluable opportunities to develop ourselves and our relationship with others, in a different way than is possible from mutual relationships between people. Successful communication with the horse requires us to be present at every moment, to communicate clearly and decisively, and to be in harmony with our thoughts, emotions and behavior. When we want to give the impression that everything is in perfect order, despite the fact that we don't feel good at that moment because we are angry or dissatisfied, or our thoughts are drifting elsewhere,... we will definitely not succeed with horses.

Individual programs
All those who want to socialize with horses more actively and regularly are invited to register an individual program. We design it according to your wishes and needs.

Communicating with a horse on the ground
The program is intended for complete beginners, horse lovers and all those who already have some experience with horses, but have the feeling that training communication with a horse on the ground would be useful to them.

We will teach you:

• to know a horse's nature,
• to listen to your feelings and to trust your intuition and to think less,
• face different situations, empathize with each task and react to the best of your ability and a fully accepted response of the horse,
• understand the horse's reactions and learn from them,
• gain a horse's trust,
• how to become more confident and trust in your decisions,
• improve communication to everyone around us,
• be aware of their non-verbal communication (body language) and improve it,
• acquired bad behavior patterns to abandon and strengthen positive behavior patterns,
• how to work on personal growth with the horse's help.

The program will consist of various communication training exercises. We will use our horses, but if you have your own horse, we will be happy to include it in the program.

Communicating with a horse in a saddle
The program is intended for all those who already have some experience with horses (work on the ground, recreational riding) and those who have their own horse and would like to learn or better understood communication with the horse in the saddle.

We will teach you:

• How to sit on a horse correctly (balance) and control your body,
• What do you communicate to a horse with your movements, body weight and changing center of gravity,
• What is the correct movement of the horse below us,
• how to be clear in communication so that the horse will understand us,
• What are the problems that we as a rider are not even aware of,
• How to listen to a horse and understand what it tells us,
• how to be systematic, patient and persistent,
• how to communicate in a given situation with a horse so that the horse will find a suitable solution,
• understand the little things that are of great importance in further learning for advancement.
