Horse Riding
Sifnos, reimagined
What comes up most often when people ask us about horse riding is “What about the beginners?” or “I’ve never ridden a horse before. I know nothing. Will I be able to do it?”.
Yes, you can! No matter if you know enough or even nothing about horse riding. Both experienced and beginners or hesitant and determined riders. That’s the difference between the amateur trail riding that’s taking place on the hiking trails of Sifnos, and classical horse riding or, even, horse riding anywhere else. It demands neither knowledge nor experience. All you need to have is the will and patience to listen to the handful of instructions that we’ll give you. We will only need your positive vibes and your will to experience something completely different, breaking your preconceptions behind, as nothing you’ll encounter on this ride will bear them out. The trail riding is something completely different from what you may know or you may expect. Or, as we like to say: “It’s Sifnos, reimagined”.
Here are some frequently asked questions (FAQ) about our horse-riding activity:
I’ve never ridden a horse before. Can I participate?
Absolutely. No prior knowledge or experience is required to join our rides. We will teach you the basics, such as mounting the horse, holding on, and maintaining the correct posture. Additionally, we’ll be with you throughout the ride to assist with anything you need to ensure you have the best experience. We also offer trails suitable for all levels, so everyone can enjoy this unique experience!
I’m very experienced in horse riding. Can I rent a horse and go for a ride on my own?
Unfortunately, for your safety, all rides are conducted with the accompaniment of an experienced guide.
I like the idea of horse riding but feel scared.
It’s natural to feel anxious when encountering a large animal like a horse for the first time. However, even the most nervous beginners we’ve met have never regretted their decision to try a ride. Most people relax very quickly and go on to thoroughly enjoy this unique experience with the horses!
Is there an age limit?
There is no age limit; however, participants under the age of 18 must be accompanied by at least one adult.
Can children ride horses?
Children under 3 years old can only ride on the same horse as their adult parent/guardian.
Children aged 4–12 can ride their own horse, but they must be accompanied by an adult.
What is the process for making a reservation?
You can contact us via email or phone, or visit our office to learn more about pricing and availability.
What information do you need from me?
We’ll need to know the weight, height, age, and any prior riding experience of each rider.
What happens to my booking if the weather is bad?
If the weather is unfavorable, we will stay in touch to reschedule the ride for another day and/or time.
