Meet our Team
Aleksandra Żukowska
I have been involved with horses for most of my life. They have shaped me not only as a rider, but also as a person. I started with show jumping, competing in many events, and later found my place in endurance riding, where stamina, trust, and a true bond with the horse matter most. Then came dressage, in which I successfully progressed to class N.
Today, I see horses from a much broader perspective. What fascinates me most is gaining a deeper understanding of them — I see them as teachers who show us what patience, sensitivity, and mindfulness truly are. Every encounter with a horse is, for me, not just about riding, but also about a unique dialogue based on respect, calmness, and mutual trust. I believe that this kind of relationship is where the true beauty of working with horses lies.
I am proud to live in Podlasie. I feel that my primal soul truly belongs here — among the forests, nature, and silence. There is something extraordinary about this place: space, authenticity, and peace, all of which we need so much today. During riding tours, I serve as a guide — and with great joy, I will lead you along our forest trails and share what I know about our beloved Podlasie.

I have been associated with horses since my student days, when I gained my first riding skills in Białystok. Instructor of physical recreation with a specialization in horse riding and a leader in equestrian tourism, with a degree - instructor lecturer. Professionally, a regional historian and specialist in European funds, currently in the Local Action Group - Knyszyńska Forest.
For over 20 years, I have traveled the trails of the Knyszyn Forest, both for sport (long-distance horseback riding) and, above all, for tourism, on the back of the Lesser Poland mare Hipnoza. Three years ago, when Hypnoza retired, it was replaced by Scotch Whiskey (as opposed to its daughter Tennessee Whiskey simply called Whiskey).
In our rides I am responsible for everything related to the route, horses and riders. Together with Whiskey, we will safely, interestingly and passionately lead you along the roads and wilderness of the Knyszyn Forest, through wild forests, charming villages and towns, constantly trying to deepen your knowledge of the places you pass by.

I am a true globetrotter, a citizen of the world, a Frenchman born in Poland and often returning to France after many years spent in France. In love with Podlasie, Knyszyńska Forest, Supraśl, and recently also with Skroblaki. A lover of all kinds of expeditions, including horseback riding. However, my greatest passion is traveling through the wilderness of Europe in an old, well-worn stone car.
In rides around the Knyszyńska Forest, I am primarily responsible for provisions at stopping places, luggage transport (if necessary, also people), assistance in all crisis situations on the route, or rest. And in the evenings .... a bonfire, wine (as befits a Frenchman), guitar, singing and chatting until dawn....
