AMARGETI EQUESTRIAN CLUB

Are you serious about horse riding and or dog driving or dog
scootering in a fun, Professional and safe environment or are you looking for the best livery stable for your own horse or pony ? Then look no further, we have just started the operations of  an affordable and wonderful equestrian club aimed at providing various riding lessons and riding schemes for all levels and for all ages near by Amargeti village in Paphos, Cyprus. In addition, current equine owners can hire a livery stable for either short or long term via various flexible schemes upon request. The site layout has been designed with “Safety” in mind for all users and animals as the highest priority. The facility is located near by
Amargeti village,  25 Kilometer from the main Paphos to Limasol roundabout.

Livery Stables: we offer various livery schemes. The stables are first class and are identical to the stables of the Club horses. If you wish to put your horse into livery, this can be arranged immediately. We also offer  Paddock services or a combination of both.

Bedding: to avoid any foot or leg injuries, the horses stand on layer of 30 cm thick washed sweet river sand bedding. Underneath the sand bed is a 50 cm thick, gravel bed which guarantees good drainage.

Riding in the summer evenings: during the summer months, to avoid the hot daytime temperatures, lessons can be given in a floodlit arena.

Head Trainer: our head trainer is certified in all aspects of the Equestrian sport. Lessons will be given to all levels from beginner to expert and to all ages.  

Hacking: hacking in the area is fantastic and endless as the club is located in the middle of  a rustic valley with gentle slopes and hills and miles of unspoilt trails which offer unique and breathtaking views.

 Dog Scootering & Dog Driving:

Besides horse riding, we are also giving the public the chance to get familiar with Dog Scootering & Dog Driving, a very fast growing sport in the the USA & Canada with the aim to form a dog sports club.

Dog Scootering is a sport where one or more dogs pull a human riding an unmotorized kick scooter. It is similar to mushing which is done in the winter with a dog sled. The dogs wear a similar harness as sled dogs and are hooked to the scooter with a gangline. The gangline  incorporates a bungee to smooth out the shocks of speeding up at takeoff. Most of the same mushing commands are used, although dog scooterers tend to be more relaxed about their commands and for example sometimes use "right" and "left" instead of "gee" and "haw", and use "yaaaaaah and "gogooggo" instead.

Dog Driving is a very similar sport to dog scootering and can be done by people of all  ages (provided the dogs are well trained and are able to follow verbal commands) The main difference with scootering is dog driving involves a dog cart or sulkie and the person sits in the cart or sulkie. As the dogs are less free than on a scooter, the challenge is to train the dogs to follow your commands so that they will go in the direction you want them to go.

The Plot: the club is located on a plot of 25,000 M2 which is surrounded by a mature fruit orchard full of orange, mandarin, apple and pear trees, in the midle of  the orchard, the riding arena is located.
