Itinerary
Your 2-Hour Experience,
Step by Step
From hotel pickup to drop-off, here’s exactly what happens on your Side horse riding tour. No surprises, no hidden stops — just the Mediterranean coast and Manavgat pine forest.
1
Free Hotel Pickup
08:30 or 17:00
We collect you from your hotel in Side, Belek, Lara or central Antalya. The drive to our stable takes 10–15 minutes along the D400 coastal road — just enough time to see the Taurus Mountains behind the shoreline.
2
Welcome & Safety Briefing
15 minutes
Meet your guide Mehmet and your horse for the day. We match you with a calm, experienced horse based on your height and weight — our horses know this route by heart. Safety briefing in English, German or Russian. Helmet fitting and quick posture tips.
First-timers welcome — no riding experience needed
3
Beach Ride — Evrenseki Coast
45 minutes
Ride along Evrenseki Beach’s western shore — a quiet 3.5km stretch west of Side harbor. The horses walk calmly at the water’s edge, occasionally feeling the Mediterranean surf. No jet skis, no beach clubs, no crowds — just pine-scented air and the Taurus mountain range behind the treeline.
📍 Evrenseki Beach — Mediterranean coastline, Side
4
Pine Forest Trail — Manavgat
45 minutes
Turn inland into the Manavgat pine forest. Shaded trails keep you cool even in mid-July. The 4km forest path follows old goat trails between stone pines and laurel trees. You may spot local wildlife and hear the Manavgat River in the valley below. The terrain is flat and beginner-friendly — no steep climbs.
Shaded & cool — ideal for hot summer days
5
Return & Hotel Drop-off
15 minutes
Back at the stable, cool down with fresh water. Take photos with your horse — most guests name theirs by the end of the ride. We drive you back to your hotel along the same coastal road. Total time from pickup to drop-off: approximately 3 hours.

The Team
Meet Your Guide &
The Horses
Every tour is led by Mehmet personally. He matches you with a horse he has trained himself — by your weight, height, and temperament.
M
Mehmet Kozak
Founder & Lead Guide
Born and raised in Side, Mehmet started this stable in 2009 after 15 years as a hotel animator. He knows every trail by heart, every horse by mood, and every guest by their riding style within the first five minutes. He still leads every tour himself.
🐴
Beyaz
Our gentle giant. 15.2 hands, snow-white coat, slowest walk in the stable. Beyaz has carried over 3,000 first-time riders without a single spook. He loves the beach — stops to feel the waves if you let him.
Best for: nervous first-timers & kids
🐎
Sahra
Our tallest horse at 16.1 hands. Sahra is calm, confident, and carries taller riders (up to 110kg) with ease. She leads the group on forest trails — she knows every turn and every shady spot.
Best for: taller riders & adults
🐴
Kara
A black Arabian mix with the softest gait. Kara is curious — he sniffs every new guest’s pocket for treats. On the beach, he walks so close to the water that you’ll feel sea spray on your ankles.
Best for: couples & romantic rides
🐎
Yıldız
The youngest and most playful. 14.2 hands, chestnut with a white star on her forehead. Yıldız is perfect for teenagers and light adults. She stays close to Beyaz on the trail — follows his lead like a student.
Best for: teens & light adults

What to Wear & Bring
Clothing
Wear long pants — jeans or leggings work best. Avoid shorts (saddle friction). A light jacket for morning tours in April or October.
Footwear
Closed-toe shoes with a small heel — running shoes are fine. No sandals, flip-flops or open-toe shoes. Your feet will be in the stirrups for 2 hours.
Sun Protection
Bring sunglasses and sunscreen SPF 30+. The beach section has no shade. We provide helmets, but a baseball cap underneath helps with glare.
Water & Snacks
Eat breakfast before pickup. We serve fresh water at the stable, but bring a small bottle for the ride. No food during the tour — the horses are curious.
Phone & Photos
Bring your phone — we stop twice for photos (beach midpoint and forest clearing). A neck strap or zip pocket is safest. No loose bags.
Best Time to Ride
08:30 for cool morning air and empty beaches. 17:00 for golden light and softer temperatures. July & August: morning slot strongly recommended — 35°C by noon.

Questions
Before You Book
Do I need horse riding experience?
No experience is required. This tour is designed for complete beginners. Our horses are trained to follow the guide automatically. Mehmet will match you with the calmest horse based on your weight and height. Over 90% of our guests have never ridden before.
What is the weight and age limit?
Maximum weight: 110 kg. Minimum age: 6 years old with an adult riding alongside. Children 12+ can ride independently. We have smaller horses (14.2 hands) specifically for younger riders. There is no upper age limit — our oldest guest was 78.
Is it safe? What if I fall?
Full tour insurance is included. Our horses walk only — no trotting or galloping. The terrain is flat (beach sand and forest trail). Helmets are mandatory. In 15 years of operation, we have had zero serious incidents. Mehmet leads every tour personally and stays within arm’s reach of nervous riders.
Can I book for today or tomorrow?
Yes — same-day booking is available. Message us on WhatsApp and we typically reply within 5 minutes. For next-day bookings, we recommend booking before 20:00 the previous evening to secure your preferred time slot (08:30 or 17:00).
What happens if it rains?
Light rain does not cancel the tour — the forest trail is actually more pleasant in drizzle. For heavy rain or thunderstorms, we reschedule to the next available day or issue a full refund. We check the weather 2 hours before pickup and notify you via WhatsApp.
Can I take photos during the ride?
Yes — we stop twice for photos. First stop: the beach midpoint with the Mediterranean behind you. Second stop: a forest clearing with pine trees. Your phone is safe in a zip pocket or neck strap. Mehmet also carries a drone and can take aerial shots (weather permitting) — ask him on the day.
Do you offer private or group tours?
The standard €60 tour is a small group tour (max 8 people). If you want a private tour for just your family or couple, message us on WhatsApp. Private tours start at €120 for 2 people and include flexible timing and a longer beach section.
What is your cancellation policy?
Full refund if cancelled 24 hours before the tour start time. Cancellations within 24 hours: we offer a free reschedule to another day. No-show without notice: no refund. You never pay upfront — we only collect payment on the tour day, so your risk is zero.
