Horses are my great love, and riding was my greatest hobby in my youth. Unfortunately, in those days, we didn't have any riding schools in Zakopane. The only option was riding with a highlander who had several riding horses he rented out for films. We rode with him during the summer—from Monday to Friday, we helped with field work, and on Saturdays we could go horseback riding.
