我在3月13日晚些的时候驱车花了两个小时从巴伐利亚的科尼茨来到这里。来之前,计划都用电子邮件理的很清楚。我感觉马厩的指示牌能做的稍微大一点,这样们就不会错过了。我到这里的时候稍稍有点早,也没有事情可干。运气好的是,我有机会帮助马夫来清理他的母马。我看到10头被照顾的很好,状态很好的马匹。我选了一头英式的马匹,它的装备很到位,其中包括刷牙靴。另外我还选择了安全帽。我们离这里非常近,只需要穿过一条马路即可到达农场。我们的导游说的英语,而且非常博学。她给我介绍了当地的野生动物和一些我们经过的地方。种类繁多的野花到处可见。我被包围在各式各样具有橙味的花朵和野菜之中,这里非常安静。我感觉这里到6月之后,这里美丽的园艺会干旱一些。我感觉这里不太适合快速游玩,但我感觉这里还凑合。在穿过山谷和破旧村庄的步行小道上能看到不错原生态的景色。然后我们回到了马场。在骑马结束之际,我给了我的马匹露娜一点奖赏,所有的马匹都将洗个澡,喂喂东西,准备下午接待游客。康妮是主管福利的官员,非常严格,在盛夏之日,骑马活动只能在早晨或者傍晚进行。我付了40欧元,感觉挺值的!

今年冬天,在淡季的时候我们去凯法利尼亚岛过了个假期。我们决定找一个马场,这样我们兴许能在马背上欣赏一下沿途的风景。丈夫是个新手,我则是合格的英国马术协会教练,因此我们很盼望找到一个好的马场好好玩一下。巴伐利亚马场没有让我们失望。首先,我很欣赏他们专业的态度,尤其是没见到我之前,他们不愿意让我跑到半山腰让马或者是我受伤。马的状况都很好,马场本身也都保持的很干净,秩序良好。我们一次骑马是在山里,周期有壮丽的景色,我们玩的很开心,跑的远一些也一直有友好的工作人员跟着,没什么可担心的。有一个初学者在我们当中并没有减弱我们骑马的乐趣,令我很高兴的是,坐骑很平稳,否则我们就会错过穿过橄榄树丛的大海&古村落的景色了。过了几天我们第二次去马场,现在工作人员相信我能掌握好一匹马了,我们被带到山里,但是在比较宽阔的路上,在这里我们可以奔马慢跑。我丈夫在享受到了初次骑马的乐趣之后,觉得自己需要接受更多的训练,由德国教练在室外上课,他的课是非常令人愉快的。我要感谢巴伐利亚马场,让我们的这次骑马成为假期的亮点,花时间同他们美丽的马&友好的工作人员在一起是及其愉快的。但愿我们很快再见。好&打分B

我和丈夫在科尼那里呆了一周的时间,刚刚回来,科尼是巴伐尼亚一家马厩的所有者,我们每天都骑马,我们真的很喜欢这里!和其他评论中所说的那样,他们家的马匹保养的很好,很漂亮。我在家曾经骑过哈弗林格马,所以我想大家保证,科尼家的马一定是最好的,考虑到这里没有兽医等条件,这真是太难得了。大家都说科尼有点专横,其实我觉得并不是这样,骑马的人都知道骑马的时候一定要对马绝对控制(控制力越大越好)。是的,有时候科尼有点严,但是和我们单独相处的时候,她人挺好的!她英语很棒,德语也是一流,谁会说一口流利的希腊语啊!建议你们旅行时骑马跋涉,这倒不是说长时间的慢跑,是说骑马旅行与开车、骑自行车、或徒步游览不同,能让你体验不一样的风景的美好。当地的地形很坚硬,有很多石头和山脉,我好奇到底人们需要什么样的体验!整个一周我都非常愉快,马匹都训练有素,你可以看到以前看不到的风景,你和科尼以及她的马匹们愉快的相处在一起,说实话,科尼真的是很友好!!最后,如果你不喜欢骑马旅行,那就选她的课程上上吧,她是一位非常好的老师!

我们 Cafeloina之行的一大亮点就是参观并体验了山林里的跑马道。我和老婆都是新手,刚开始的时候对于骑马还有点畏惧,因为从来没有体验过。主人Conny非常好,花时间跟我们进行沟通,让我们感觉非常温馨,跟马在一起很有安全感。她教我们如何放松,让我们骑在马上不会紧张。她的马匹看上去都很温顺,跟我们在一起很放松。然后Conny带我们骑马上山,看到了Sami的壮美景色。Conny有15匹马,她还收留了很多流浪猫和狗,马儿们都长得很壮实,看到狗狗和马儿活力四射的样子,感觉特别和谐、有爱。我建议大家来参观Conny的马场,骑骑马,你一定会喜欢的,一个小时的行程每个人是20欧元,1个半小时是30欧元。出租车税费大约是7--10欧元,Pericles酒店前台Nina告诉我们说税费不应该超过7欧元,因为距离养马场也就是3公里的距离。当我们打车来这里的时候,出租车司机想要收取10欧元,他一路都在抱怨,最后收了我们8欧元。他没有把我们放在养马场,而且放在主路的一边,我们自己再步行了200米才到,建议大家打车钱最好问清楚具体的费用,以免被宰了。

不知道海伦PD012怎样从外面些评论的,是的,一般情况下,人们骑马时不听她的指令的时候,康妮会提高嗓门,她花了20年的时间创建自己的事业,一开始只有4匹马,现在拥有16匹马。马厩整理的很干净整洁而且很实用,马儿被照顾的很好(他们是她的家人和生计),保护足部而且坚固,多岩石的地势对于远足很不错。头盔在每位客人出发之前会交给客人。但是这不是在伦敦,当你踏上凯法里尼亚的时候,你也可以完全忘记巡逻车。至于那位女士从它的马上摔下来。我不做评论,我不在场,但是我知道康妮的马训练了很久,但是客人说行,她就要认为她行。在外远足的时候她的确打过电话问还有什么她能做的,她在经营。根据客人的需求,远足时间从半个小时到三个小时不等,漂亮的乡村,经过有一百年历史的葡萄园,1953年地震时候村庄毁坏了,周围的环境大变样,从爱奥尼亚海到伊萨卡。没有人强迫参加特定的远足,他们只是向康妮解释他们要找的东西,康妮会为他们安排合适的远足。但是不想在正午40度的阳光下远足,预订早上或傍晚的。康妮也提供住宿。她住在一英里外的路边,有三个双人间及一个套房温室和一个客人共用的厨房(食物很棒,这家公司更好)。假期有两种形式,第一种是每天远足(时间有康妮根据个人需要安排)或者是露营远足,一般是三五天,你可以去山区或者其他已经安排好的地方,用篝火做饭,睡觉,然后第二天继续出发,每一种方式都很棒,不管你在哪(坐船从大陆要三个小时),你会玩的很开心,遇到一些很不错的人,坐在马背上看到美丽的乡村景色,一定要带相机,推荐。

Beautifully cared for, well bred, well schooled, well mannered Haflinger ponies, breath taking mountain trails, totally safe and good company - a refreshing and delightful experience. These are ponies who are part of a family and are proud about the work they do. It's a relaxing experience which all the family can enjoy at whatever level. I am an experienced, advanced rider and I was happy with these ponies and with the care and management. I have taken my godchildren and my friends and it has always been rewarding. The restaurant Kalithea on the way there is a good place to eat. I recommend this stables from a welfare and horse care perspective. I hope you go and I hope you enjoy it.

This place is EPIC!! As a pony lover I beg my parents to take me to a stable and as we drove past a sign saying that there is a stable nearby I jumped at the chance of going! So when we arrived we had to do the usual sign a few documents and things. Then Connie asked me if I wanted to help catch the ponies and tack up! Of course the answer was YES PLEASE!!!!!!!!! So after I had the time of my life tacking up, grooming and saying hi (to the ponies) I realised Connie was talking to my mum and dad. When they had finished the conversation I we to ask them what that was about and they told me they would be riding too! Soon we all began to mount I was riding a beautiful halflinger called Zora, mum was riding Lunar and dad was riding Johnny be good tonight and he said it himself that he was very happy to see a horse big enough for him. On the ride we saw some beautiful views and dad even managed to take photographs.A few days later we went back and that time only I rode. this time I was riding the magnificent Fedra. When I arrived back at the stables I thanked Connie and went over to my parents who were admiring a very nice bag Connie saw us admiring it and decided to give it to me! So about a year later I returned to the stables but not just for riding. I got up at 6:00am and arrived at the stables by 7:00am and by 7:30 we were in the saddle and away! By 10:00 we arrived at the beach I was soooo excited! Connie stopped and told us not to go too deep and finally we all took "the plunge!" As I was riding the cheeky Fedra she began splashing me and making waves! I had so much fun and I hope if you decided to go you have as much fun as me! ❤️❤️❤️ Jess aged 10

We did a 2 hour ride up to a spot in the mountains of Kefallonia overlooking the ocean. Yes, Connie is assertive, but you can't take it personally. She just cares immensely for her horses. You are paired with a horse that is geared towards your experience level. We had a great time and would go back.

Thoroughly enjoyable evening ride. Well organised and professionally run. We had 3 hour ride up the mountain on rocky track and horses were steady and sure footed.

I would like to reply to Veiga2001's adverse comments on the Sea Ride that he/she obviously did not enjoy.The Haflinger is a breed from the Austrian-Bavarian border and used to carrying burdens of up 160 KG in very high altitudes. Connie limits the weight that her horses carry to 110 Kg. 15 Stones as mentioned by this rider converts to 95 Kg.There are 12 horses in the stable, 5 for experienced riders and 7 geared towards the novice rider. All of these horses are well trained by Connie herself and if an experienced rider should be allocated a novice horse they should be more than able to experience a very good ride. It would be looking for trouble to over mount clients. Some riders claim to be experienced and even while at the mounting stage one can see they have hardly ridden at all.When swimming in the sea all riders will swim alone, the reason being that Connie needs her full attention on the horse and rider in the sea and be able to correct instantly any problem that could spell disaster. It is therefore not unusual for two clients to share a horse for the swim.When fully swimming a horse uses a tremendous amount of power, when wet a horse is very slippery and remember swimming is done bareback. A novice rider would therefore be in a lot of danger if they should fall off the horse and be hit on the head or any other part of the body by a heavy horse or a metal shod hoof.Full praise to Connie for taking care of her clients and horses. Hope she never changes.

I was nervous to go riding after breaking my hip at the end of last year. However, what wonderful, sure-footed horses these were! Four of us took a 1.5 hour trek up the mountain and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were patient and were quite happy to lead so that everyone enjoyed themselves. Great stable, the horses are very well looked after and I would definately recommend this to anyone who'd like to see parts of the island not possible in the car.
veiga2001
Dear veiga2001,We are sorry to read that you didn’t have the experience you were hoping for. We would like to respond to a few points you made to clarify how we run things here. The halflinger breed is a very sturdy breed and is meant to carry heavy loads. We recently had a veterinarian who works specifically with this breed, come for a week experience with us and let us know that many of them can easily carry weights of 150 kilos. This being said our limit is 110 kg so as not to over burden the horses. As for swimming with the horses we are very strict on safety with this experience because these horses are highly trained and therefore have lots of energy. These horses get excited when they go swimming and since we do go swimming bareback it is much more difficult to ride an excitable horse therefore we only allow very experienced riders fully go swimming to ensure the safety of everyone. We charge 80 euros for this ride as it is 4 hours. It is stated in the program that we do many things in this 4 hours and not just spend time at the beach. On top of the actual ride we need to spend a lot more time after the ride to clean as things get wet in the salt water and need more aftercare to keep the equipment in as good condition as possible. With rising costs of pretty much everything you need to buy and difficulties of having a stables on an island we have kept our prices the same for the last 10 years to keep is as affordable as possible on both sides.We do apologize for the helmets being wet. The weather in the fall is a little unpredictable and in the scramble to get everything inside some of the helmets were overlooked. Most of the helmets are in a bin with a lid and were kept dry but a few did get wet and again we apologize and it will not happen again.

Tired of beaches? Not interested in monasteries, cemeteries or city centres, souvenir shops, tourist traps etc. like us? This place was a great refreshement of our vacation routine. Even though we never rode a horse before, the staff made it easy and understandable and we enjoyed our 2 hour evening ride also thanks to our guide, miss Victoria, who was a great chat buddy.The horses and facilities are in great condition, it's obvious everything is cared of with love and attention.It's 20 euros per person per hour, you can however negotiate your own terms according to your needs and experience with horse riding. It's best to call ahead.

Connie and her beautiful horses are the highlight of my son's holiday. They are in excellent condition and look wonderful. His trip of four hours took them through the hills to the sea and he cant wait to return. Yammas and Tschus xx

As myself & my family are novice riders, we decided on a hour and a half trek into the mountains. The staff at the stables were very helpful as we set off on our ride, and the owner, who led the ride was really nice to chat to about the local area as we trekked along. The horses are very sure footed, and I felt safe at all times. Breathtaking views over Sami when you reach the turning point, with lots of interesting information and sights along the way. I wish we had booked a longer trek and would do so next time. Experienced riders might find this trek a bit "safe" but it's just so relaxing-felt safer doing on a horse than I did in a car! A must do activity if you are near the area. Having said that, we stayed in Spartia and it was worth the hour drive.
