Our horses

Loki, Merlin, and Truhlík. Our partners from tournaments and pastures.

At Nora, horses aren’t just for decoration. They are our partners and family members who experience everything with us – from peaceful mornings in the pasture to the adrenaline of knightly tournaments and stunt performances.

Under Jana’s guidance, you will meet animals with extraordinary character, calmness, and professional training.

We are not a commercial riding school. We offer an individual and personal approach with an emphasis on the comfort and safety of you and our horses.

Loki

Our first horse and the founder of our family herd. Loki (Quarter Horse breed) is absolutely special to us. He is a professional through and through, whom you may have seen on television screens – for example, in the series Wheel of Time or in the latest Christmas fairy tale The Mystery of the Haunted Castle.

Together with Jana, he traveled a part of Europe as a star of knightly shows in Austria and in Legoland, Denmark.

Despite his film career, he is an incredibly good-natured horse who forms a calm center of all the action in the herd.

Merlin

A magician who tests our patience and the gates. Merlin (a Hucul and Paint Horse mix) is the youngest member of our group. You could crack nuts on his Hucul head sometimes, but he’s exactly the sweetheart you just can’t get mad at.

He didn’t get his name by accident – he’s a real magician, especially when it comes to finding ways into places a horse definitely shouldn’t be.

Despite his stubbornness, he is a horse with a pure heart who wouldn’t hurt anyone.

Hellboy aka Blockhead

A noble knight with the expression of a donkey. Blockhead (Spanish breed Pura Raza Española) is proof that even a noble horse can have a sense of humor. His original name, Hellboy, was renamed Uhlík (Coal) by our daughter, which eventually became today’s Truhlík (Blockhead).

Although he is a very tall, intelligent, and sensitive horse, his unbelievably relaxed facial expression sometimes confuses children, who mistake him for a donkey.

You can see Blockhead in all his glory as a knight’s horse at the Karlštejn Wine Festival, under a sidesaddle, or as the patient white horse who safely accompanies St. Martin’s processions.
