Which horse riding programme should I choose?

Beginners Programme · €65 per person
A real introduction, not a pony ride. You learn how horses think and communicate, get hands-on with grooming and ground handling, then try the riding equipment. After practising basic technique in the arena, you take a short ride along the paths around the farm. This is not a trail ride: the focus is on learning and connecting with the horse.

Sunset Trail Ride for Experienced riders · €75 per person
For riders who can ride safely and independently. You groom and tack up your horse, then follow hidden paths and quiet dirt roads through the hills of Lakkes and Thini. The pace is mostly a walk, because the terrain is steep and uneven and the views deserve time.
