This joyful experience is open to advanced and experienced horse riders. Some of the routes would need to be passed with hard gallop. Some routes may require you to dismount of your horse and you have to be able to mount again independently. Because we prioritise your needs, we have to mention these points. Riding with well-mannered and lively Arabian and Anatolian-Arabian horses will leave you refreshed and full of joy.
