Ανεξάρτητα αν έχετε κάποια εμπειρία ιππασίας ή όχι, θα θέλαμε να μας επισκεφτείτε. Ξεκινάμε γνωρίζοντας με τα άλογα τα οποία θα κάνετε ιππασία, γιατί πάντα μια γνωριμία πριν την βόλτα μας είναι η καλύτερη! Στη συνέχεια, θα κάνουμε ένα μάθημα για αρχάριους σχετικά με το πώς να ξεκινήσετε, να σταματήσετε και να καθοδηγήσετε το άλογό σας. Αυτό το μάθημα σχετικά με τα βασικά της ιππασίας είναι επίσης μια περίοδος σύνδεσης με εσάς και τον νέο σας φίλο. Μόνο όταν όλοι αισθάνονται άνετα τότε θα ξεκινάμε για την βόλτα μας! Ξεκινώντας από την φάρμα μας θα πάμε σε ένα μονοπάτι όπου έχει χωράφια, διάφορα φυτά και στο τέλος της διαδρομής βρισκόμαστε στην θάλασσα! Δεν βλέπετε την επιθυμητή ημερομηνία; Μη διστάσετε να ζητήσετε μια ώρα και θα δούμε αν θα τα καταφέρουμε. Μη διστάσετε να στείλετε μήνυμα αν έχετε απορίες. Ελπίζουμε να σας δούμε σύντομα!
