Silvena Sport is the name of a sport riding club in Rousse, Bulgaria. It was founded in August 2002 by Krassimir and Ilian Iskarov. Silvena Sport has two principal objectives: to make horse riding a popular sport in Bulgaria, and to foster the growth of the East Bulgarian breed of horse.
The careful selection of stud horses exercises influence on the exterior, muscularity and character of East Bulgarian horses. The stud-horses are several fundamental breeds which have proven themselves – Holsteiner, Hanover, Oldenburg, etc. The club is in possession of some gorgeous mares. During the last decade in the past century this breed proved itself in national and international tournaments. Because of its fine qualities, the breed is sought out and sold beyond the borders of its native country.
Famous quotes containing the word sport:
““Justice” was done, and the President of the Immortals, in Æschylean phrase, had ended his sport with Tess. And the d’Urberville knights and dames slept on in their tombs unknowing. The two speechless gazers bent themselves down to the earth, as if in prayer, and remained thus a long time, absolutely motionless: the flag continued to wave silently. As soon as they had strength they arose, joined hands again, and went on.
The End”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
