For the first time

Riding a horse for the first time

If you’ve never ridden before, it’s possible to start in Dalyan. No one is forcing you to ride for two hours. You’ll get to know the horse at the farm; stand, stop, and take a few laps. The instructor will be by your side. The pace is up to you. If you’re afraid, you can say so, and that will be part of the day. We’ve even seen people who didn’t make it, and that’s a choice, and it’s respected.

From the beginning to the end, Mr. Mert was very attentive, friendly, and kind. Also, the horses were so well trained that if you are riding for the first time, you might be scared.

The lake tour should come after the first meeting. For children, a short farm tour is also considered before the long walk. Crossing the canal and walking three hundred meters, or requesting a transfer. If you have problems such as pregnancy, back pain, or knee problems, consult your doctor; we don’t make diagnoses, we just look at what you’re like on that day. If you’re uncomfortable, let us know, and we’ll reschedule for another day.

What to wear? Comfortable pants, closed shoes, a hat in the summer. Shaved legs and short shorts can cause friction. Keep your phone tight or put it in your pocket; taking pictures on the horse is a second job. We take pictures while we’re standing, just make sure the tour doesn’t turn into a “pose day.”

If you ask us, the first time you ride should be in the cool morning. The excitement and heat build up at noon. Spend a short time on the farm, and then you can go to the lake for more fun if you like. Riding at the farm is the highlight of the day. In summer, tell us which one you prefer.
