Horse riding in Marathon Claimed

Before we start the ride and before you get on the horses it is important to get to know your horse. It is part of our philosophy that within the whole experience we want you to get to know the horses more intimately before you ride them and this is done by getting to know them first from the bottom. With our guidance and assistance you will receive a mini lesson in horse care, as you will prepare them for the ride yourself. You will brush them and spend time with them, so that both you and the horse feel more comfortable with each other.

For beginner riders, and for those who may be nervous, it’s a nice way to familiarise themselves with the animal, while in the meantime we are given time to guide you around them, so that you are properly prepared for the riding part of the ride as well. The tour starts directly from our base in Marathon and heads up the hill just above the rural area of Vrana.

After a few meters on the tarmac between the agricultural area we will meet the uphill path that will take us quite high up the hill. The vegetation there is low and we can see in panoramic view, the Historic Gulf of Marathon , the Euboean Gulf, in the background Euboea with its mountains while our return passes through beautiful pine forest and olive trees. This circular route through the paths will lead us back to the asphalt road from where we will return back to our base. Duration of the ride Aprox 1 hour. Preparation of horse riders 30 minutes. Total duration of experience 1,5 hours. Weight limit for participants 95 kg.
