Horse: what an incredible animal! The first that humans domesticated since 4000 BC. Humans would have achieved nothing without the horses‘ work and use.
Horses are adapted to run and to possess an excellent sense of balance and carefree.
Whether you are an experienced rider or a beginner, riding gives you significant health benefits-physically and psychologically.
Riding on Thirasia island, being the wild part of Santorini, riders will have the chance to satisfy all senses and why not? Activate them!
Thirasia by still maintaining the unspoil terrain, abandoned cave home villages, incredible caldera views awakens volcanic feelings that you only feel when you are there!
All our staff meet the criteria and regulations appointed by the ministry of Agriculture in Greece.
Our horses are in an excellent condition following / attending the veterinarian instructions.
