NEW YEAR'S EVE 2007
As every year, the New Year’s Eve was an occasion to celebrate not only by horsemen, but also for all those, who wanted to welcome the New Year 2008 in a unique atmosphere far from the city’s turmoil.
New Year’s Eve in the Horse Stud “Bielin” allows the guests to forget about daily problems, life here has a different rhythm than in the city. The life has a different rhythm. First the guests rode by stagecoach and in a charabanc lit with torches. The guests had an opportunity to admire nature’s beauty in the torch light, covered with blankets and sipping on alcohol drinks to keep them warm.
After having returned to the drink-bar everybody could warm up by the fireplace, but they didn’t last sitting for long, as the music quickly lured them to the dancefloor. The tables were full of delicious home-made meals and delicacies, prepared only from natural ingredients. The stuck of midnight was celebrated by a fireworks display, which lightened the sky over the whole Bielin. In one word – the New year’s Eve was a blast!
We are looking forward to your presence next year!
HUBERTUS 2007
Hubertus, that is Hunting Ride of Saint Hubert, organized in the Horse Stud “Bielin” for years, it reflects the tradition of horse hunting. The name Hubertus comes from Saint Hubert, hunting patron, whose day is on 3 November. The “hunting” is totally symbolical and takes place without dogs, with the “fox” being the rider with the fox’s tail pinned to the left arm. The one, who manages to pick the tail, makes a honourable round around the chase, and in a one year’s time he plays the role of fox. This year, exceptionally, the fox was not hunted but looked for, on account of unfavourable weather conditions, which made the soil dangerous for riding. The participants of Hubertus, who included tourists from Poland, as well as from Germany and Switzerland, were looking for a fox’s tail hidden among the branches. The winners of this year’s Hubertus Bieliński are Pelle Wahlstrom (27 October 2007) and Arkadiusz Surent (3 November 2007). The hunting was finished by revelry by the open fire, with roast and bigos [traditional Polish meal made of sauerkraut, sausages and mushrooms]. Then the participants moved to the drink-bar where all-night party honouring the winners took place. We congratulate the winners, and encourage everybody to catch the fox in the next year
