WHO WE ARE
Chania Equestrian Center
Chania Equestrian Center started in 2012 in Malaxa, a beautiful mountain village about 15 minutes from the center of the city of Chania. It is a properly landscaped area of ten acres where riding lessons are held. In our group we have 17 horses of which three are ponies and they are housed in indoor stables at night and during the day in the outdoor paddocks. There is a stableman who takes care of all the horses and takes care of the cleanliness of our stables.
Chania Equestrian center is addressed to all those who love animals, wish to be in good physical condition and have the need to find themselves in a special and at the same time special environment of relaxation and fun.
In our group, those interested will have contact with this beautiful animal and our aim is to understand the horse and how they can communicate with it. We have created an environment where athletes and people who participate as a hobby can spend their time creatively, riding, training the athletes, grooming them and attending some theoretical classes. Our purpose is to let the world know what sports riding is and the areas that exist (Equestrianism, Show jumping, Coach driving, Eventing – triathlon). We have already created a sports team that takes part in Pancreatic, Panhellenic and Balkan competitions and is constantly looking for new athletes.
The ages our Group is aimed at are for children from 2 to 18 years old and adults from 19 to 72+ years old.
Our Group has also developed hippotherapy or therapeutic riding which offers people with special needs a way to communicate, increase balance and exercise atrophied body parts.
Combining all of the above, the Group undertakes schools, tourist trips, special schools and even events and parties.
