About
Nikolo's Horse Club is an equestrian centre and riding school in Kulynychi, in the Nemyshlianskyi district of Kharkiv. Almost 8 hectares, a 50-stall stable and a 20×60 indoor arena. We teach beginners, train athletes, take horses on livery and host dressage and show jumping competitions.
The stable was built to European standards
Automatic drinkers in every stall, wash bays, ventilation, lighting and video surveillance. For guests and riders: heated changing rooms, showers and parking. You feel it in winter: it's minus ten outside, the lesson goes on in the indoor arena, and there's a hot shower afterwards.
Since 2021 the club has hosted dressage and show jumping competitions judged by international judges. In autumn 2021 it hosted the first national riding festival HORSES SPIRIT: demonstrations, equestrian theatre and a pas de deux by Masters of Sport to a live symphony orchestra.
In 2022 we stayed in Kharkiv. We bought generators, stocked up on fuel, fed the horses and kept teaching. For the help that year we thank the volunteers, in particular the British organisation UPAW.
Founders
Mykola Bezuhlyi
Laureate of the State Prize in scienceBelieves that together the club and its residents can build a professional future for equestrian sport in Ukraine.
Olena Bezuhla
Owner and driving force behind the clubShe says horses came into her life first — sensitive, intelligent animals. Only then came the question of where to keep them and how to care for and train them. Nikolo's Horse Club grew out of that question.
What's on site and how big it is
The club's standing rests on its scale, its names and its competitions.
20×60 indoor arena
1200 m²The footing is quartz sand with geotextile on a gravel base: it holds moisture after watering and doesn't raise dust. Stands for parents and guests. Mirrors on the walls so the rider can see their seat.
Horse walker
6 horsesA mechanical walker for six horses in the open air but under cover. Warm-up and exercise without a rider, and a great alternative to the paddock in winter.
Outdoor arena
30×80For lessons in the warm season and for show jumping competitions.
Paddocks
Fenced turnout areas, some with electric fencing. The horses walk, socialise and run.
Stable
50 stalls3×3.5 m stalls. Wash bay and solarium for horses, heated tack room.
Heated tack room
Saddles and bridles are kept warm and dry.
A stabled horse depends entirely on people. This is our routine
Hay six times a day (meadow hay and alfalfa) and concentrates three times. Little and often — that's how a horse's stomach works. Water always available from automatic drinkers.
Stalls cleaned daily, fresh sawdust and shavings bedding every afternoon.
Every day. A horse that stands in a stall without moving gets ill.
After every lesson, with a wash in the wash bay when the horse has sweated. Hooves are picked daily and shod on time: the hoof works like a pump that drives blood through the leg, and everything else depends on its condition.
Routine vaccinations and veterinary supervision, officially recorded.
