NYX & IRIS

We are a small family business in the center of Zasa. We offer riding services, accommodation, room rental and mobile cafe services.

But why such a strange name?

Nyx is the Greek goddess of the night. In Greek mythology, she was the daughter of Chaos, one of the first beings, very powerful and the mother of many other gods. But Iris is the Greek goddess of the rainbow as well as the messenger of the gods. Iris is also the name of our grandmother.

Just as these goddesses are very different from each other, the Nyx & Iris sister managers are very different. Anna takes care of our beloved horses, leads rides and training. She is very determined, passionate, kind and helpful. She has worked with horses for more than 20 years both in Latvia and the UK. Horses have always been her passion, ever since she first climbed onto the back of Rigoletto in Riga. Meanwhile, Laura takes care of the house, cleans it and welcomes clients to our accommodations. She is very hardworking, knowledgeable and pays attention to details. She likes to bake cakes but doesn’t like to eat them herself, which is very useful when you have to treat guests.

Who is NYX and who is Iris? We’ll let you decide.
