This unique experience takes place in a traditional Greek setting, nestled within the heart of an old olive grove. It promotes understanding, welfare, and ethics around horses. It is not opposed to riding or working horses; rather, it focuses on how horse and human can work together in harmony through respectful handling, correct riding techniques, and a deeper understanding of equine behaviour and well-being. Perfect for beginners, children over the age of 8 and anyone with little or no previous experience with horses as an introduction to general horse care, behaviour-psychology and the basics of riding technic.

What to expect

This interactive educational experience offers a general introduction to horses and the basics of technical horseback riding. Participants will learn how to safely approach horses while exploring their nature, behaviour, physiology and way of communication.

You will also get hands-on experience with the daily care and needs of the animals, including basic grooming and handling from the ground. The program introduces both horse and rider equipment, helping you become familiar with the essentials of horseback riding preparation.

Under the guidance of a qualified instructor, you will have the opportunity to practice basic riding techniques inside the arena and experience what proper riding feels like.

Please note that this experience is primarily focused on interaction with horses from the ground, education, and introductory riding skills. It is not a trail-riding activity neither a horse riding focused lesson.
