Lessons and Fees
 | |
Run from the Silva Estate in Corfu, our integrated riding club attempts to customize lessons
to fit our students' needs.
We offer instruction for beginner
and intermediate riders, both with and without disabilities.
Our certified trainers teach English style lessons Tuesday
through Sunday.
The club is run in conjunction with our breeding
program, and many of the Skyrian horses are used both for
breeding and in the riding school.
