Irfan is a true Turkish cowboy, born and raised in the town of Göreme. As a child, he grew up watching his grandfather take care of horses in the village. The horses were used to help tend gardens as well as for transportation. As a result of his life-long experience with horses, he quickly learned the best ways to care for and to train a stable of his own. Irfan has an extensive first-hand knowledge of the landscapes and valleys around Göreme from both his own explorations and from 17 years of experience guiding visitors on tours of the region.

about provider

We chose this ranch based on their excellent reviews, particularly about the care of their horses. Our main concern was finding well-treated and well-fed horses, and we were not disappointed! The staff truly loves and cares for the animals. My husband and I booked a 2-hour sunset ride, which was an incredible experience. The package included pick-up and drop-off. It was just the two of us along with three guides from the ranch: Irfan, a French woman, and a teenage boy. Flora provided helmets and explained the basics since we had never ridden before. We were matched with two wonderful horses, Kestane and Akide. Irfan led us throughout the ride and kindly took pictures with my phone. The staff was very friendly, spoke perfect English, and answered all our questions via email prior to the tour. This was a memorable experience in Göreme with the best ranch. Highly recommended, 100%!

about provider

We embarked on a two-day ride with and couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice! Irfan and Flora treat their horses and guests exceptionally well. We thoroughly enjoyed spending two days with them, learning about the people, history, and breathtaking landscapes of Cappadocia. Our group had varying levels of horse riding experience, and even faced some rainy weather, but Irfan and Flora handled everything smoothly. The one-night stay in the cave was fantastic, and the homemade food was absolutely incredible!

about provider

We had a wonderful short ride, and our entire family loved it! My husband and our 6-year-old and 9-year-old children, all with limited or no riding experience, thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The hosts were delightful, each leading the children and chatting with us in English. The ride itself was beautiful, taking us along a lane flanked by stunning rock formations and cave dwellings. Toward the end, we ascended a hilltop with breathtaking views of Göreme National Park. We highly recommend this place!
