Bodrum horse riding is 1 or 2-hour safari tour to enjoy a memorable experience and to explore the countryside on horseback.
Bodrum horse safari offers you that more gentle pace of discovering the peninsula. With its rolling hills and the emerald green forest backdrop against an azure blue sky, there can be no better way to relax than in the saddle, swaying to the gentle gait of the horse.
A 20 minute ride from Bodrum takes you to the horse ranch and a quieter, slower pace of life than the city offers you. The horses you will ride at the ranch are chosen for their softer natures and love of the trek. From the moment you are introduced to your named horse, you just might fall in love. These sedate, lovely creatures are happy to exercise and seem proud to show you the beautiful landscape of the Bodrum peninsula, flanked by the shimmering Aegean sea.
You will ride through the orange groves and the pine forests, breathing in the most pure of air as you ride along. Riding also through villages where the locals are pleased to see you, and where you may buy a bottle of water and learn a little of the village customs.
