Each day builds on the last.
01Day 1 of 6
Arrival & the First Horizon
Afternoon arrival. Check-in at Moonlight of Cappadocia, your partner stone hotel. Then a first walk through the ranch — meeting the horses, learning their names, an apple in your hand. As the sun drops, we walk to Uçhisar Castle for the first signature photo of Cappadocia. Welcome dinner.
02Day 2 of 61h saddle
The Foundation
A full morning in the manège with İlyas. Basics: seat, hands, breath, weight, rein. Lunch. Then your first hour in the saddle through Kılıçlar Valley, Rose Valley, and the Kızılçukur panorama. Evening: Turkish Night dinner — music, dance, traditional Cappadocian food.
03Day 3 of 62h saddle
The Bond
The morning you learn to prepare your own horse — brushing, saddling, tightening. Then two hours in the saddle: Çavuşin village, the Crusader Church, Tekkaya, Güllüdere, Göreme panorama, Kılıçlar. Free afternoon (optional ATV adventure available).
04Day 4 of 63h saddle
Under the Balloons
04:00 ranch transfer. You saddle your own horse in the dark. Three hours in the valleys as the sun rises and the balloons fill the sky — Solo Hill, where we tie the horses, pour something warm, and watch. Afternoon: Zelve Open Air Museum, Paşabağları, and a traditional workshop — handwoven carpet or ceramic, your choice.
05Day 5 of 64h saddle
The Master Ride at Sunset
The morning belongs to the underground city — Kaymaklı, the depth of Cappadocia. Lunch at the ranch turns into a barbecue. Then the day you've trained for: four hours on horseback through Çavuşin village, into Love Valley, ending at Solo Hill as the sun goes down. Farewell dinner.
06Day 6 of 6

Breakfast at the hotel. A final visit to the ranch — one last goodbye to your horse, one last photo, one last team embrace. Check-out. Airport transfer.
