View all on Google Maps"I did stay here volunteering for 2 weeks. It was wonderful experience! Horses are loved and cared for. They will arrange suitable horses for suitable level of experience of riders. All the horses are quite calm and well trained for. On their free time they are freely walking around, sand bathing in the open area. All of them are living a stress free life that they show no aggression towards human. They love cuddles and kisses🧡 Owner Hasan and Manager Burhan is very kind too! Pick up is provided from Goreme town. You can directly contact the owner Hasan even if your hotel is not contracting with the ranch. Check out their Insta account!"
"Our experience with Legend Horse Ranch was truly wonderful and very well organised! The owner, Hasan, is a man with a big heart 💛 — hardworking, caring, and genuinely passionate about his horses. Hasan and his amazing team took such great care of us and showed us the breathtaking Love Valley. The whole tour was perfectly planned and unforgettable. One small suggestion for improvement: it would be great if guests were told in advance why horses shouldn’t eat grass during the ride — it helps maintain discipline and ensures their safety. Some of the horses looked quite tired, which is understandable during the busy high season. Thankfully, once we reached the top viewpoint, the horses could rest for about 20 minutes. 💡 Tip for visitors: bring along some extra veggies or leaves (like cucumbers 🥒) from your breakfast — the horses love them, and it’s a sweet way to say thank you to these gentle animals! 🐴"
