Cold air, the soft crunch of hooves on the frosty trail, and the quiet of Cappadocia’s valleys at dusk are what stayed with me days later. Riding between the fairy chimneys as the sky shifted from pale blue to deep orange felt unhurried and calm, with the guide giving us time to pause for photos. The horses were steady and well cared for, and the provided helmets and gear felt secure. Hotel pick-up was a bit delayed, but once we reached the ranch, the whole ride flowed at a relaxed pace that suited a winter evening perfectly.

Started right on time with hotel pick-up, which was perfect since I was travelling with my parents and it was pretty cold in the evening. The drive to the stables was short and organised, helmets were handed out quickly and we were on the horses within 15 minutes. Riding through the valleys at sunset in winter light felt very calm and not crowded at all. Only minor downside was a short wait in the van after the ride while they grouped people by drop-off, but overall the timing and logistics were super smooth.
