We began operating the ranch as a business at the end of 2004. We are a German-Turkish family and are lucky enough to have made our hobby our lifestyle and business. However, our priorities will always remain the care of our horses and the needs of our riders. Our ranch is away from the tourist areas of Turkey, we attract small groups and private riders. We wish you to enjoy your visit to Turkey and your riding experience in the best environment. We will provide you with our horses and you will know they are cared for and trained in professional and loving way.
