The tempo of the hack will depend on the riders‘ amount of experience and their comfort (I.e. Sitting softly with the movement and feeling safe with the horse). The safety of the terrain and the temperature is also taken into consideration.
Before your first ride with us, you will have at least 40 mins to become familiar with your horse by grooming and walking or riding with your horse in our riding arena. This will also be an opportunity for you to learn about my riding style and test the reactions of your horse in case of a difficult situation during the hack.
If you are already familiar with our horses, we can also arrange longer rides or a moonlight ride.
Moonlight ride through the mountains
Join us for an unforgettable, magical moonlight night ride on our safe horses over the mountain landscape.
This 2,5 hrs experience takes place a few days before the full moon.
The ruined village of Lefka
During the months between October to May, you can choose to ride with us right up to the Likodimo mountain entering the ruined village of Lefka. There we can savour the special atmosphere and the breathtaking view, while eating a typical Greek farmers snack with cheese and olives.
