Itinerary for Learn to Ride on Lesvos Island




Sample Itinerary - subject to changes

During the briefing, we give riders more information about the horse they will be riding. We let them know about the horse's behavior on past rides and how to react so that everyone feels safe. We also make suggestions on the riding style for each horse, according to their personality.

Please, note that most riding is done in the morning. The afternoons are usually free for you to relax or explore the island.
However, if you prefer to ride in the afternoon (instead of the morning) this can be arranged on request.

Each lesson is 45 minutes long and preceded by a 30-minute preparation to groom and tack-up the horse.
