The bavarian cowgirl - Riding guide - Farrier - Trainer C Performance - Horsemanship/Western Rider - Owner of the Ranch & Rooms. Riding started for Elpida when she was 7 years old. As an Austrian Huguenot mixed breed, she grew up in Munich, Germany. In 2000 she moved to Rhodes for professional reasons, in 2006 she moved again and stayed on the island because of Maisy & Fiorino (horses!). Horses, with man-made quirks, ended up with her via detours or direct paths, also self-bred horses grew up here. In 2011 she met her husband for short. Now nails with heads were made, projects ideas were implemented much easier as a couple. Motto: Trust your horse, stay easy, sit decently and it will go with you everywhere!

We had an incredibly enjoyable experience at the ranch during our holiday in Rhodes. One of the standout moments was the ranch organizing a €20 pickup service for us, which saved us money compared to taking a taxi. The staff at the ranch were extremely helpful and created a welcoming atmosphere with their strong sense of family and love for animals. We witnessed the ranch rescuing a dog and working to find her a permanent home, which was heartwarming. The horses were well-behaved and well-cared for, and all the animals on the ranch were looked after according to their specific needs. We cannot speak highly enough of this place and the dedication of its staff.
