About us
History of the horse stable
The first horses arrived on September 1, 1993: stallion Maestoso Jadranka XX K 1985 and mares Thais XXVI L.1976 and Thais XIX L. 1982. The breeding stock was obtained from private owners of Lipizzan horses, bred at the studs of former Yugoslavia: in Lipica, Đakovo, Vučjak, Karađorđev, and Lipik.
Riding camp
The camp is run by licensed riding instructors based on a program with elements of the Montessori program.
Camp goals and outcomes:
Beginner group: will get acquainted with the horse, master basic riding elements, learn how to prepare the horse, parts of riding equipment, and maintain horse hygiene.
Advanced group: will refine riding elements, learn new riding elements, prepare horses for riding, and maintain horse hygiene.
Breeding goals
The goal of Kelebija horse stable is to breed horses for driving sports and dressage.

Breeders’ associations
Kelebija horse stable is also one of the founders of the Association of Breeders of Lipizzan Horses of Yugoslavia, established in 1996 in Belgrade.
This institution was accepted as an observer at the general meeting of the LIF (LIPIZZAN INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION) in 1996 (Lipica, Slovenia). After the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the Association of Breeders of Lipizzan Horses of Yugoslavia changed its name to the Association of Breeders of Lipizzan Horses of Serbia.
Introduction of the Andalusian Breed
We are proud to announce that we have imported a new, prestigious breed – Andalusian horses, known worldwide as Pura Raza Española (PRE), meaning “pure breed.” This breed is unique because it has not been crossbred with other breeds, making its breeding and preservation extremely important.
Our goal is to become a leading Andalusian breeding farm, and we plan to register our stud farm in Spain as a recognized breeding center for this breed. We are currently proud to have three PRE Andalusian broodmares and three PRE Andalusian stallions, which form the foundation of our breeding program and the enhancement of this noble breed.
We want to give horse lovers the opportunity to get to know this exceptional breed, its grace, temperament, and elegance. Our mission is to contribute to the popularization of the Andalusian breed and offer a unique experience to everyone who wishes to become more familiar with it.
