Dörtnal Ranch | Horse Riding Holidays in Turkey
Excellent Horse Riding Tuition By the Sea and Rural Mountains
The Dörtnal Ranch Team will make sure you experience great horse riding time combined with Turkish hospitality.
They have a number of horses to offer you private horse riding lessons for beginners and advanced riders, jumping lessons, guided trail rides from one hour to several day treks with therapeutic riding for disabled guests.
Riding lessons - as a beginner you can learn the basics of riding technique in one to one lessons or as an advanced rider you can improve your riding style. Horse riding is a whole life learning process! Along with other hobbies like reading and playing party poker, it can be something that takes up a lot of your energy and if you become skilled at it, it can yield great rewards.
Guided trail rides - explore the mediterranean nature on horse-back, hilly pine forests, untouched nature and untouched antique sites. Even beginners can go for short hacks around the stable after having some basic lessons.
Therapeutic riding or 'hippotherapy' - the beautiful environment and their well trained happy horses give the therapy a incomparable touch. They have completed about 2000 therapy sessions in the last two years.

Dörtnal ranch is situated in a green valley, just half a kilometre from Hisarönü village, set in wooded slopes near the village on the Mediterranean coast. Bustling Marmaris, the nearest city is only 20 minutes from the village of Hisarönü and famous for its shopping and night life. The area offers many activities in unspoiled endless pine forests and an untouched natural environment.
Dörtnal Ranch began operating in 2005, first as a passion of the owners with the aim to combine guest riding and high quality horsemanship to combat the bad image of Turkish touristic riding stables.
They put emphasis on the need of the rider and the horses – quickly they developed into a proper small riding school, giving lessons to beginners and advanced riders, organising half- and full day trail rides, and since 2007 they practise hippotherapy and therapeutic riding in the summer months in cooperation with a local dolphin therapy centre.
The other partners in their enterprise are the horses! Experienced, well-trained and very well looked after, they are matched to individual riders. Depending on experience you can free ride and go camping in the woods, or take a beginner’s course. There is a special introductory short course so you can just give it a try.
