Platan Equestrian Centre

A place where
horses feel
at home

A modern equestrian facility near Bratislava for horses and people alike. Stabling and a peaceful retreat in the heart of nature, not far from Stupava.

ABOUT US

A Tradition in Malý Háj

The Platan estate is located in the quiet area of Malý Háj in Stupava, surrounded by the majestic nature of the Záhorie region. Our history dates back to 1840, when these lands were managed by Count Károlyi.

Today, we are building a modern space on this historic foundation — a 12-hectare property dominated by open pastures and peaceful surroundings. We specialise in the English riding style, and every detail of our facility is designed to ensure maximum comfort and the harmonious development of both rider and horse.
