Equestrian or Horses
The horses you imagine are here to, Palominos, Greys, the Spanish Spirit and the Arab
What you will get depends on who you go to
There is a great family of Equestrian talents, they bread their own, they show them, ride them and win with them
They have a lovely estate with grounds and pastures
This estate is available for hire as a venue
You have gardens, pool, a lovely patio by the classical house to use for dinner parties, it has its own church in the ground for services of most denominations
They have stables you see as you enter
All you have to do is ask and we can see what we can arrange
I am hoping to do an interview with the lady of the house and get some pictures as a feature for these pages soon
All I can say is that for a Wedding or a Dinner Extravaganza, this is one fantastic place to use

Time was when everyone went everywhere by horse, now they are the creatures of the rich
If you find a horse lover who does not own one, it is because they do not have the land for stabling, the fees for stabling or the land to ride on
Here in Greece, in Attica they have a lively Equestrian culture
They have a history of being in all the major events around the world and they have some fantastic bloodlines
There is the problem of animal rights, but they are addressing that problem now
It is expensive to keep a dressage horse here too, so most are working, but they are regulating themselves and trying very hard to make it right
Foreign tourist protesting has improved the lot for many an abused horse and as for donkeys, they are becoming rare even here
They do have an indigenous wild horse (or pony like the ones in the New Forest in England), on Rhodes that they are protecting

Coming soon

When you hire a carriage, they usually come with a driver; you may have to pay for the driver to dress up for the Event
There are some who will lead you so you can get some fantastic shots and few who will let you drive, not unless you can show them you are experienced
The overall picture of the couple in the carriage is a fabulous one and one I recommend
If you want to go bare back to the ceremony that is normally on a lead reign
If you want a horse riding holiday, those are available here, trekking and camping through the mountains with a guide, but this I recommend only for the experienced
