Cappadocia, often referred to as the “Realm of Magnificent Steeds” is an exceptional territory to discover on horseback. For millennia, horses have been an integral part of Cappadocia’s heritage and the unique environs around Goreme are well suited for explorations on a native Anatolian or Arabian horse – guided by a genuine Turkish cowboy!

We also provide full-day horse treks and multiple-day horseback adventures.

Additional details about horse riding expeditions:

Prior riding experience is advantageous as there could be multiple sections where you might have to get down and lead the horse, and then get on it again to keep going. The Turkish cowboy will be present throughout for help, but you will be supposed to manage your horse during the trek. Helmets can be procured on request at the ranch. Depending on the time of year, you might need a light jacket due to varying altitudes during the journey. Appropriate attire and flat-soled shoes are recommended.
