The ride is suitable both for beginners and experts. We will be there to help you! You will receive a small training and you'll be guided throughout this exciting excursion.
Our experience will start with a quick training before getting on the horse, to make everyone comfortable and understand how the horse behave and how we can get relaxed on them.
Finally the real fun will begin by exploring the valley.
The ride lasts usually about 20-30 minutes. If you want to ride for longer, we can make the duration approximately 1 hour.
Other things to note:
Is your first time riding a horse?No worries at all,I'll be really happy to introduce you in this magic and amazing world!
The place we're going to is a place with a wonderful mountain view. Even if you don't ride a horse on the farm we will go to, being there will give you peace of mind. We can take a walk with the horses while they wander through the forest. It could be a great opportunity to get away from the city.

A wonderful family walk in nature
The whole family went horseback riding in the forest. It was a real adventure for our three-year-old daughter, because this is her first ride on a big horse!
The organizers took care of everything: the horses were calm and obedient, the instructor was attentive and patient, the atmosphere was friendly and cozy. We got wonderful memories for a lifetime.
I would especially like to note the professionalism of our guide, the comfort and safety of the walk. Even our little daughter felt confident and calm around such large animals thanks to the caring attitude of the staff.
This horseback ride, along with the continuation, has become a wonderful way to spend a day off together, enjoy nature and new experiences. We recommend everyone to experience such a magical journey on beautiful horses!

Faruk is a very nice person
Faruk is a very nice person, very welcoming and takes great pictures! It was my first time riding a horse and made sure I was comfortable all along the ride.
It’s a very pleasant stroll through a forest, very calming. The horses are very friendly and well trained, easy to ride. 10/10 would recommend as something different to do around the Izmir area!

Great experience!
Great experience. The host was very accommodating, social and easy going. The place we went to was really beautiful and relaxing, and after a quick and thorough explanation from our host we rode the horses without issues even as total beginners. We got some great pictures, as the host is a professional photographer and really passionate about photography. I would highly recommend this experience for people trying out new things, and for people looking to get out of the city and enjoy the nature.

Huge thanks for this lovely comment! It was your first time riding a horse, but you handled it like a true cowboy still stuck in my mind! I have to admit, the horses liked you a lot too. And if the photos turned out amazing, it’s totally thanks to your natural charm! Hope we get to kick up some dust together again out in nature someday!
