At 1000 metres above sea level we are surrounded by pine and cedar forests with stony trails leading to sea views and nearbye hamlets.

You can ride in the morning or afternoon or take an early evening ride to watch the sun set over the sea.

You can hack along forest tracks or up to the Nine Lake District. Our ponies especially like this journey as they enjoy immersing themselves in the pond there....permission granted!

Kids and beginners can take 1/2 hour riding lessons every day in the paddock.

Our ponies…

TOPRAK...a handsome and proud 7 year old hafflinger gelding from Karacabey government farm.

SAHIN...a gentle 6 year old hafflinger gelding also from Karacabey; always ready to take second place.

ATES...with an impish air at 5 years he is the baby of the three and is always looking for some extra love.

NAZLI...she is just of Turkish stock, but so willing to please, and as her name tells us 'sensitive'.

RUZGAR…He came to us after a problematic childhood. He is a Midilli, a pony resembling the Shetland. As the breed is almost extinct we have problems finding him a partner, so lovelorn he turns to our donkey but she already in foal is not interested.

Ruzgar has the important task of pulling a cart carrying children with their water bottles down to the village spring which is situated under a shady plane tree just 500 metres from our farm..
