My sister and I (two ladies in our 40’s) really enjoyed a 2 hour ride through the village and countryside on horses with our darling host Lino. Cyndi who is an experienced rode Whiskey on an English saddle and I joined Lino in the sulky puled by Lady Blue. It felt magical! We picked and chewed on fennel from the trees we passed and enjoyed the spectacular views. Cost was very reasonable at 20 E each per hour. Lino is a lovely gentleman who has a special relationship with animals. He also treated us to a visit of the stables and to meet his purebread Pharaoh hounds. Lino isn’t much for new communication technology though his family assists with WhatsApp. You can call him. See contact coordinates in photos.

I had a lovely 2-hour-hack through the valleys to Marsalforn.
I rode Whisky, a lovely, incredibly attentive and sweet horse; absolutely relaxed and safe in traffic. The horses in general are very well-trained, well taken care of; safety is important and taken care of as well (helmets, neon vests).
Lino and his wife and everybody around are lovely people who ensure the best riding experience and genuinely care about their horses and their clients.
I'm a rider with 13 years of experience and was thoroughly happy with what I saw, and enjoyed the ride immensely!

If you want a real human-level connection, someone who does pay attention to how you ride and to your needs and who is genuinely interested in giving you a positive experience, this is by far the best choice in Gozo! Lino is an amazing person, he is patient, explains everything and makes a first-time ride feel very natural and simple! The horses are really calm and obedient (not by fear as elsewhere) and the experience feels just perfect. Everyone doing horse riding in Gozo seems to claim they don't do it for the money and it's just a hobby but one can definitely tell the difference between Lino and the others (if you try multiple, like in my case). Totally recommended!

4th time attending in 3 years. Route is great and takes you through the great green fields of Gozo like no car could. Probably best riding experience on the island, spoken from someone who's been to most, if not all. Will most definitely attend again first chance we get 😁

My girlfriend and I had an wonderful experience, thanks to our amazing guide and his wife. I will definitely go again, next time I am in gozo as I am eager to ride solo (being it was my first time on a horse). Regarding price it was super.

Whatever your level of experience, Lino will be able to mentor you properly in addition to being good company. His horses are very well trained and pleasant to ride. Most of all, his knowledge of the island will allow you to discover beautiful landscapes at the same time!

Lino took us on a tour. 3 people on the gig, one child on a horse. It was a beautiful trip down to Marsalforn. We enjoyed the excursion a lot, the horses are wonderful, well kept and very calm and safe. Lino and his wife love their horses and look after them kindly.

Lino and his wife we’re so lovely, we had the greatest time with their beautiful horses. We felt safe all the time. I had the pleasure to ride Ginger, such a powerful and sweet horse. Since I know how to ride Lino was so sweet letting me gallop a couple of times (always in a safe area) They provide you everything to feel comfortable, they let you very free that’s why I loved it so much. I will definitely come back, 100% recommended. Thank you guys we had the most beautiful time💖

Lino and his wife are exceptionally kind and lovely people who made sure our experience was safe, fun and interesting. The trek went so fast, i was so sad coming back as was enjoying it so much. Such good value for money. Truly a must!

Went on my first horse ride for years with my better half. Felt safe secure and was not rushed to do anything. 10/10 would recommend to anyone regardless of experience/skill.

Bonjour
Puis-je savoir combien coûte la balade s’il vous plaît ?
Merci
Written 2 September 2019
Hi, I would like to know how much it would cost for a 1 hour trek and what kind of places you see/visit during the trek, i.e. the beach or countryside?
Thank you in advance.
Written 21 June 2016
Hi, They don`t go to the beach in the summer because it is too busy but do go around the local countryside which is lovely. It costs 15 Euros per person for an hour I think, but if you check out his website and email he can tell you for certain.
He was very friendly and showed us all his animals and a foal which had just been born, and had loads of information about the area we rode through. Be honest about your riding abilities though as it is best for you and the horses.

Hi, how long it takes to ride? Is there a chance to clean and sadle your horse? Can experienced people trot or gallop, or just walking?
Written 14 December 2015
Hi, Lino seemed to me to be the sort of guy who will listen to what you want. We watched horse saddled, washed down etc so sure you can do yourself and yes if experienced can gallop etc
