 TRAILRIDERS horse trekking centre and riding stables was established in 1992 by British born Sally-Ann Lewis. She spent 10 years in Wyoming, USA, managing a cattle ranch, where she learned to ride and care for horses.
TRAILRIDERS is still owned and run by Sally 15 years later, fulfilling her dream of working with animals. The stables are situated outside the beautiful south facing village of Ano Korakiana, in the north central area of the island. Nestled in the foothills of the Pantokrator mountain range, with its miles of farm tracks, is a haven for trekking in horse back. Thousands of olive trees and natural woodland provide ample shade even in the mid-day sun. TRAILRIDERS has earned itself an enviable reputation for safety and enjoyment. The 9 horses are in perfect condition. Their quiet natures and good manners, make them suitable for the complete beginner but are also spirited enough for the more advanced rider; ensuring a feeling of contentment and tranquillity while riding on nature' most majestic animal: 'The Horse.' Horseback riding is safer and more comfortable in long trousers, T-shirt and full shoe. We cater to people from the age of 6 to 60. Availability is limited due to the popular ride time and the size of the groups. To avoid disappointment, a reservation early in your holiday is essential. Please contact us direct, by phone or email; or through your holiday representative, hotel reception or local travel office.  HORSE TREKKING
After arriving at the stables, you are introduced to the horses, dogs and cats. The owner's love of animals cannot be doubted. The nine horses are suitable for beginners because of their quiet nature and good manners, but are also spirited enough for the more advanced. THE TRAIL RIDE From the stables we enter a beautiful wooded area of oak trees; leaving the woodland we see the striking view of the village of Ano Korakiana in the distance. After a further 20 minutes, we arrive at the village and wind our way through the quaint houses and semi-rural landscape. The ride then continues for another 40 minutes through olive groves, wide dirt tracks, vineyards, and pastures of grazing goats and sheep. After your horse ride cold drinks are served at the stables, allowing you to see how much care is taken to keep the horses in perfect condition. After every ride, the horses are untracked, showered and fed. Please bring apples or carrots as treats for them. For comfort and safety, we ask that you ride in long trousers, T-shirt (or similar) and full shoe. We will provide the correct clothing if necessary. A good selection of hard hats is available; we strongly recommend you wear a hard hat when riding. |
