A calm and refreshing ride through the peaceful nature that surrounds our ranch.
The Forest Trail is ideal for beginners, families, and anyone who wants to enjoy a relaxing experience on horseback — without leaving the safety and tranquility of the nearby forest paths.

For minors and less experienced riders, our instructors will accompany the group on foot leading the horses, ensuring complete safety throughout the ride.
Once ready, we follow a beautiful route through a cool, shaded forest, cross a small stream, and continue toward an open cornfield with lovely mountain views. The surrounding nature, fresh air, and gentle movement of the horses create a peaceful riding experience suitable for all levels.

🌿 Nature Adventure Trail-Ride – €45/person
(~70 minutes riding time)
Experience a beautiful ride through small forests, streams, narrow paths, and open countryside.
This trail ride is designed for riders with some previous riding experience who want something a little more exciting than a simple walk in nature.

Once the preparation is complete, the adventure begins.
We follow a scenic forest path under tall shaded trees and cross a small stream before reaching an open cornfield with a lovely mountain view. From there, we continue across grassy fields and enter a second small forest, riding through a narrow path with four small river crossings.
On the way back, the trail leads us along peaceful dirt roads and through refreshing shallow streams that guide us all the way back to the Manippos Horse-Ranch.
