Horses
Horses are distinguished not only by their unique natural beauty but also by the peace and freedom to express their natural individuality and temperament in a harmonious natural and human environment. Ezdul's relationship with them is based on the principles of the natural relationship between man and horse (natural horsemanship), associated with a lot of patience, deep understanding, harmonious communication, and complete denial of violence towards animals.
Most of their horses are purebred Arabians and Arabian Shagia with proven and exceptional pedigrees. They also have several half-breed horses with predominantly Arabian blood. All riding horses are consistently and thoroughly trained in the Pat Parelli and Monty Roberts systems, and from them, they consistently and thoroughly receive their immense love, joy, and patience.
