Therapeutic riding for all

In Chroussa, Syros, you’ll find a place where meeting animals becomes an experience for both children and adults. You can get to know the horses up close, ride them in the arena or around the village, bathe them, or feed and care for the other animals of the farm. Children learn to embrace nature through creative workshops, games, and messy play, while horse rides also turn into guided tours that bring local stories to life. Here, technology stays outside the door, giving space to simple games, togetherness, and the feeling of community—just like in the old days, when the alana (neighborhoods’ playground) was everyone’s meeting point.
