I would be interested in info on this trip too! My 2 daughters fancy the horse riding but I think they might be a bit young, they are 13 and 8.

Hiya i have done this a few times-love it
There isnt galloping really,you all just follow steadily behind one another. Although at the end i was given the opportunity to go off and gallop-woooww scary haha!
Think this is usually done morning -lunch time...bout 11ish...although sure ICR will be able to give you exact times.
Erm i dont think you could get many photos by sitting in the cafe bit-as the horses go on a trail so you wouldnt really be able to see them.
Hope this helps

Hi
We did this trip last year towards the end of our holiday. If we had known what it was like we would of gone at the start and again at the end of our hols. It was brilliant. Steady pace, got the opportunity to gallop if you wanted to but know pressure. Make sure you cream up well and put your mozi repellent on. Although we didn't get bitten alot of people we were out with did. Be aware that they take photos of you through out your ride and you have they opportunity to purchase them at the end.
we go out in August for 3 weeks and I'm sure we will go once a week.
Great fun!!

My son and me did this last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a steady pace and the horses seem to know where they are going. The only thing I didn't much care for was that we crossed a river where the water was up to our hips and the guide was splashing water at you (I don't like water in my face) but apart from that it was very enjoyable and would do it again. We did ours in the afternoon, they picked us up about 2.30 and started to ride around 3.30 so not in the mid-day heat but as said previously you need to make sure are covered in suncream. The photos they took at the end were very expensive - 50 lira for the disc with them all on or 20 lira per photo. We didn't buy one as we had heard stories of discs not playing when you got home. .Hope this helps. Di

We did this trip last year and had a great day out. There were a number of young children in our group and they seemed to enjoy theirselves.
We had the disc with the photos and we had no problems playing it on our dvd player and computer.
I posted some photos from last year if you want to have a look.
My advice would be go and enjoy
