Tall trees, quiet trails, fresh air

The Belgrad Forest begins next to the ranch. Our forest trails wind between oaks and beeches, past farmland and up to viewpoints over the trees — a world away from the city, half an hour from its centre.

Rides are guided from start to finish. Classic rides keep an easy pace; Experience rides are for riders who are already comfortable on a horse. Every season brings something different: spring flowers, cool summer shade, autumn leaves and quiet winter mornings.

  • Guided trail rides
  • Helmet and safety briefing included
  • Cold drinks waiting when you return
  • Combine with breakfast at the ranch

Questions

Do I need riding experience?
No. Classic rides are led at an easy pace and suit complete beginners. Your guide fits your helmet, matches you with a calm horse and shows you how to sit, steer and stop before you set off.
How far is the Belgrad Forest from central Istanbul?
Our ranch in Gümüşdere, Sarıyer is about 30 minutes from the city centre by car, and the forest trails start right next to it.
What should I wear?
Long trousers and closed shoes or boots. We provide the helmet. In the winter season we also provide rain gear.
Can I get photos and video of my ride?
Yes. Add drone footage, a professional photographer or GoPro video when you book. Photos and videos are shared with you within about 15 minutes of the activity, in full quality.
How do I pay?
You do not pay online. Send a booking request; we call or message you on WhatsApp to confirm the time and you pay at the ranch.
