My name is Damir. When you arrive at Geronimo, I'll be harassing you until you learn how to ride a horse. And some of you even after that. If you have any questions, feel free to call me between 8 and 22 o'clock at 00385 - 91-1688888.

If you look closely, you'll notice my fly. She's very faithful and never leaves my side, you kinda wish you had a girlfriend like her. By the way, the riding is held on Tuesday, Thursdayand on weekends. By prior notice by SMS at 00385 - 91 - 1688888, the connection at Penezići is bad so you can try at 01 6296 111.

Riding school Geronimo working days are Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday by prior notice. A riding class (45 minutes) costs 100 kn, and there are two ways of performing it. For those who are unsure about how much they really want to ride or for those who want to talk someone into starting with a "gift riding school", we have a school lasting 5+1 classes - 500 kn and it needs to be done at a pace of at least 1 class weekly. Certified statement about taking responsibility gives you that free +1 riding class. For those more serious, we have a 2x14 classes, plus the class you get for the statement. The rule that applies for that school only is - if you manage to ride twice weekly during the first 15 classes, you get two classes as a gift, if you don't come at least once weekly, it's your own fault... or bad luck. :) therefore, a learning curve will be quite longer. Furthermore, you get a free riding class if you lose 5 kg, after you stood on the scale in fornt of me only in your underwear (joking about the underwear... :) ), if you quit smoking or bring a new member to the club. There are no free classes approved for leading grannies across the street yet. Oh yes, I almost forgot, you get a free class for every day you spend at the hospital because of the fall off a horse. But, to break your illusions, that hasn't happened for 6 years. Discounts... For riding both days in the weekend, you get a 50 kn discount. For purchasing 10 classes in advance, you get 10% off, and if you have a bunch of kids and they all ride at the same time, you get a 10% discount for every next child, and that means that your tenth childrides for free. :) If you come to geronimo and there's no riding due to my mistake, you get a free riding class. But if you miss a class or cancel it less then 24 hours earlier, then you pay one class on behalf of being late, and negligent towards your favorite (hopefully only) riding instructor.
If you own a pair riding pants and boots, great, but if you don't, a pair of sneakers and not too-tight jeans will do. Most saddles have protective baskets on the stirrups. While you're riding in the round pen, wear something fitting so your body shows because the students usually cheat with their backs and learning lasts much longer. It's strictly forbidden to ride in the silky sweat pants because you'll easily slip out of the saddle. It's good to get the long chaps because of big friction in the leather, and they're good for snow, you it doesn't wet your pants in the woods. It's also good to have your own riding helmet due to the size, and higiene, altough all memebers of the club wash regularly once monthly.
There are club facilities in the old oak house. You may smoke inside if no one objects, there are no children and it's not too cold to open the windows. You may bring your dog with you to riding and it may enter the house as long as you have it under control. Your friends, boyfriends, kids etc. can wait for you in the house while you're riding. Bring carrots with you because it makes catching horses easier, and for bonding with it. Sugar cubes are prohibited, as well is bringing your own horse cleaning equipment or undersaddles 'cause of the danger of sapreading the diseases between horses. Bring a mosquito spray with prolonged action or don's eat anything salty, supposedly it has the same effect.
