    Great ride with lovely horses
    We made a quite spontaneous reservation for the next day. Arrived at the beautiful farm in the Kefalonian mountains. Warm welcome by Conny and her staff. Horses are in great condition. We had a 2h ride up the mountain and back down. My first experience riding a horse, but it was definitely one to remember. Thank you so much!

    Lovely Ride
    This morning we had a fantastic 2hr ride in the Sami mountains with Connie and the horses. Myself and my wife are only occasional riders, but we found the horses to be very responsive and well-looked after. We also both enjoyed Connie's company very much, she is clearly very experienced, she is a straight-talking German and she was not shy in correcting my riding skills (which was most appreciated). We felt safe throughout our ride and experienced some stunning views of the mountains and sea. Highly recommended.

    Exhilarating experience in safe hands.
    Conny and her colleagues are fantastic. My ten year old daughter (rider) and I (rode a long time ago) spent two hours on the most amazing mountain trek at 8am. The horses were seasoned professionals and took great care of us. Bonita and Freta were steady and more than capable of navigating the rocky terrain and leapt up (literally jumped…) the tiny track to more level ground. Conny pointed out the old ruined village and the fabulous views. I cannot recommend this experience enough. Do it!!

    Stand out, peaceful, holiday experience
    Delightful owner with very well cared for horses. Lovely setting for a peaceful morning ride for our family of 5 - our teenage children (who have no previous experience) loved it. It is extremely well run, allow a bit of extra time for getting ready and for finishing up.

    An amazing riding experience
    It was our second time riding together and it was such a wonderful experience. Conny and her team are incredibly friendly and funny. They also have some dogs running around, which made the experience even more enjoyable! She loves and respects her horses and it shows. Which, for us, was really comforting that she doesn’t just “use the animals for business”. The ride itself was beautiful with a majestic view from the mountain slopes. If we are back in Kefalonia, we will definitely ride here again.

    Fantastic
    A wonderful experience! Sure footed and well schooled horses. Beautiful vistas of Sami and Ithaca. Connie and her team were fantastic, we’d like to say a special thanks to Stephanie for taking us on a lovely ride.

Overall was a lovely experience; on arrival Connie was very welcoming, we had helmets and saddlebags provided, and she even leant me a pair of shoes as I didn't have the right footwear on holiday with me.
The ride itself was very pleasant. I originally wanted to go to the beach, but Connie said it was too busy and not suitable.
So we rode up the mountain, saw the ruined villages and beautiful views, and came back down.
Helena guided us on the trek and she was absolutely wonderful!
The price seemed a little expensive for what it was, as I was asked multiple times beforehand how much experience I had with riding, but I unfortunately still didn't have the opportunity to trot or canter.
There was one other person on the trek with us who didn't drive and chose to get a taxi. On arrival, Connie asked how we got here, then, quite bluntly, suggested I gave the other person a lift after the ride. This made me feel uncomfortable as I didn't particularly want to give a strange man a lift, or at least have the option of asking myself taken away from me, because then I had no choice but to take him back to Sami which made me uncomfortable. He was lovely enough but I didn't like being put on the spot like that.
It was still a good experience overall and one I would like to do again if the option to go to the beach becomes available.

We are a mother and daughter who are experienced riders and had a wonderful ride. The ponies are very well cared for and well schooled. That meant that we could focus on the amazing scenery from our four hour mountain ride. Conny was knowledgeable about the local area and gave us plenty of photo opportunities. We have had previous experiences of jaded, kick along, horses, so it was great to ride responsive, mannerly, horses. This means that her horses are suitable for complete novices or more experienced riders.

Family of 3 girls and myself had a great time riding up the mountain to the viewpoint looking across the coast. Beautiful horses, caring owner and helpful staff. My husband stayed at the stable with the owner’s dog whilst we rode. Would recommend as so reasonably priced and not once felt rushed. Wish we had time for a longer ride!

We arranged a 2 hour trek with Conny, and it was fantastic. I had only ridden once before but Conny and her intern, Irene, made me feel at ease. The horses are gorgeous, and very calm. Conny showed us the ruined village, and the continual view of sea, mountains and other islands was breathtaking.
