A couple from Slobozia Mare turned their passion for horses into a successful business

160 kilometers away from the capital, traveling a two and a half hour road, in the village of Slobozia Mare, Cahul district, you discover an enchanting place where you can ride horses and spend time in nature away from the crowds of the city. And this is due to a young family who returned home after many years of working abroad. Husband and wife Lorina and Artur Neagu have created a riding center, where those interested have the opportunity to take a horse ride on the shores of Lake Beleu - the eden of fish, birds and aquatic plants, reports Moldova 1.

Artur Neagu was born and raised in the village of Slobozia Mare in Cahul district. Being surrounded by horses as a child, as he got older, the man began to develop his passion for these noble animals, which were forgotten for a while.

"I have had a passion for horses since I was a child, I have inherited it I think since I was like my son. My father always had horses and I grew up with them until I was 18, when I had to leave home. After that I stopped, so to speak, my activity with horses, I switched to horsepower, engines, cars. And after that, I returned to the horses," says Artur Neagu.

The state of pandemic established in European countries, convinced the young family to return to their homeland, after many years spent abroad. And to spend time with his family, Artur organized for his wife horseback rides in nature. That's how the adventure started.

"I did not start with the idea of doing business or doing business. The idea was that I come from where I come from, from the roads, from where I go abroad, to come home to ride a horse, to relax. And so I joined the passion with several boys and I did. We leave more with 4-5 horses. We leave for the whole day, after that we come to make a meal, a lamb, a fried fish and that's how the weekend goes," says the entrepreneur.

A simple passion that Artur had for horses has become a business and now the young man is preparing for the tourist season.

"People started appreciating this thing with horses and they said they wanted to ride too. Friends, friends to friends and so on, say, the joke has thickened. Now what to do, we have to prepare ourselves from a tourist point of view, for that it allows us to amortize from the expenses we have," Artur Neagu mentions.

Husbands want to offer both adults and children a way to return to a pace of life closer to that of nature, a space where agitation and anxiety can be replaced with positive emotions and self-confidence in the future.
