Great Experience, Beginner friendly. Views were amazing, lovley staff, lovley horses. Was great that we had the back story of all the horses. They charge for photos, which is fair enough. From all the activities I've done, this place does the cheapest deal on photos. I feel the horses were not as trained as the ones in Bulgaria when I rode there, I had alot more control over them horses, where as these ones (not all of em, just a couple grumpy ones) needed the staff to get them moving and to stop eating lol. They look for mistreated horses to give them a better life 🥹

We were picked from a hotel gate 20-25 minutes later than planned. Became a bit nervous, tried to call a tourist company but they didn’t answer us at 9-15 on Sunday morning. So we stayed in uncertainty if someone would pick us at all.
A group of 6 was all Russian speakers.
20 minute mini van ride to a horse rancho near Syedra, the horses were ready for us.
The tour itself lasted 2,5 hours with two stops. The latter stop lasted for 30 minutes and we had a chance to climb up to the ancient Syedra town ruins.
During the tour the horses just walked. Our route ran along the slopes of the mountains. The was no chance to change from walking to a trot. Our leader Natasha walked all the way beside our horses helping us guide thru a rugged terrain.
The tour is good/optimal for beginners, not as much interesting for experienced riders, all the way great for sightseeing and enjoying the country.

Natalya and Mustafa were patient and kind with us and with our children. Our daughter was very skittish about riding hills and unstable terrain, as she is a complete beginner. Natalya walked with our daughter for three hours in the hot sun uphill and downhill. She also guided us in how to be kind with the horses but also to establish boundaries so that the horses didn't stop to snack too often. The views were beautiful. Highly recommend this activity.

Having not been on a horse for many years, I found Natalya very helpful very patient and very professional. She is very passionate and devoted to her horses. A lovely lady that loves all animals. Would highly recommend to all.

So much respect for the way they treated the horses. No doubt that the horses were in the best condition. We brought two children at 5 and 9 years old and they loved it.
Specially were the amazing stories of each horse.
Definitely not the last time we’ve been there.

This was such a wonderful time. We are experienced riders and it was very laid back. So if you are looking for trotting and loping this isn't for you. However the ride was fantastic. The views were amazing and learning the background of the rescued horses we were riding was just unbelievable. It was great being able to help support this organization as well as enjoy the riding. The owners were such loving compassionate people. Would do this again if we come back

Gesundheitszustand nicht ausreichend...Pferde hatten Ja6utausschlag....Hufpflege überfällig....Sattelzeug nicht passend und ungepflegt....sonst alles ok

Het was een hele mooie ervaring, de eigenaren (man en vrouw) zijn super voor hun paarden, paarden komen mishandeld oid binnen en worden daar opgelapt en getraind voor de buitenritten. Het is wel echt een stap rit en wat minder voor de ervaren ruiter, maar ik ging met mijn vriend en dat was een fantastische ervaring samen met erg mooi uitzicht. Zeker een aanrader.
