The Weekend Horse Ride Experience
The Weekend Ride is not about covering long distances or following a strict schedule. Instead, it focuses on slowing down and enjoying the simple rhythm of riding through Cappadocia’s valleys.

Riding sessions take place on carefully chosen trails that highlight Cappadocia’s softer landscapes — open valleys, gentle slopes and panoramic viewpoints. This tour is suitable for riders with basic experience, and even confident beginners who want a guided, well-supported introduction to trail riding.
Developed and guided by the team behind Horseback Riding Turkey, and designed under the expertise of endurance champion Ercihan Dilari, the Weekend Ride reflects a strong commitment to ethical horse care and rider comfort. Horses are calm, well-trained and selected to match each rider’s level, ensuring a safe and enjoyable weekend experience.
Evenings are spent in local accommodations where guests can rest, enjoy regional food and fully disconnect from daily routines. The result is a simple yet memorable horseback riding weekend in Cappadocia.
