Project title: Air amusement route “Spārnotais zirgs” (Pegasus) in the rural municipality of Grobiņa About the submitter of the project in a nutshell: Society „JURA STAĻĻI”, reg. No. LV4000811115 Society “Jura Staļļi” is a non-governmental organisation that was registered in 11.04.2000. All those 13 years society were engaged into promotion of active and healthy lifestyle among young people. At the beginning of its operation priority was horse riding sports where our athletes succeeded not only in Latvia but also in many places abroad but within time we changed our strategy and set leisure time activities for children, young people and families with children as our priority that is not only related to horses but also provides broader and more varied active recreation possibilities.

First was meant for children up to 12 years of age and second – to more grown up children, youngsters and adults. Project really was implemented at the right time and right place as recognition and attendance of the locals serve as evidence for this – during the first year of operation 986 people visited the route. Air route “Spārnotais zirgs” (Pegasus) that was developed due to the project is accessible to every inhabitant of rural territory of Grobiņa, as well as guests. Two new working places were developed within the frameworks of the project. Project has also positively impacted the outer environment as tree avenue with centenarian trees has been put into order during the implementation of the project. The newly formed air route “Spārnotais zirgs” is a modern and contemporary leisure and recreational spot for locals. 21
