We had such a lovely time here. My boyfriend, who had never ridden before, was on safest horse ever. They simply walked and followed group. I have riding experience but wasn’t completely confident; however, team made me feel at ease. Towards end, I felt more comfortable and we even went for a canter down beach. They offered to pick us up and drop us off, and also provided refreshments before and after ride. It was such a lovely experience—I didn’t want it to end.
Horses are very well cared for and well behaved, caretakers are attentive and views are stunning. If you love horses and you’re on Kos, you shouldn’t miss this place.
Absolutely recommendable! We booked a Sunset Ride twice because it was so fantastic. Team at Salt Lake Stables takes loving care of horses and always strives to provide everyone with a great experience. We will definitely be back! 🙂
Can not recommend enough!!! Magical family memory! Staff were amazing and went above and beyond.
I did sunset swim ride with Salt Lake Stables, and it was truly magical. Horses are incredibly well trained kind, and beautiful. Stable is immaculately clean and people are very friendly, I felt very welcome, even though I was alone and joining group. If I could give ten stars, I would, because this experience was absolutely incredible! If you’re visiting Kos and you love horses, this is a must do! Thanks, guys, for amazing experience ❤️
