DIMITRIS HORSE RIDING opened in
the year
2003, in the area called Avlaki,
Kassiopi and is the only riding school
on the island that was created with rescue horses.
The love for the animals, the care and
the right training has given life again to the once unhappy animals,
and they are ready to offer you special moments riding in one of the
most beautiful areas of Corfu.
Even if you have never ridden before
come along for a new experience, come and visit us to see for yourself
what is that we offer. You will have the opportunity to meet the
animals find out about their individual stories and what they have
gone through.
By joining us you also help our effort
to save more horses that have been neglected and abandoned around the
island, and give them house.
We believe that each one of us can
contribute.

fishing village. “An Area of exceptional
