After I graduated from University in 1989, I set up my own insurance company. My intense stressful years in office environments increased my longing for nature, soil and green. Thanks to a friend of mine I discovered Çatalca and in 1998, it was the best to buy a 6 decare land from Çatalca Oklalı Village.
Then First I build a beautiful bungalow with some beautiful fruit trees around it. As the days passed, I built outbuildings, stables and the farm began to grow.
In 2004, I started this business with a horse that a friend of mine had given. Then the farm life became more colorful as well as my life. I found myself in the races with the horse called Mikeala, who was my first shot. Then my adventures started with riding lessons. After I won many cups and ranking in the league, the second horse called Divon joined our family. Afterwards, the family grew up with the participation of Rose Garden and Bingo and so on. I had the pleasure of joining domestic and international competitions with my horses.
In 2012, I decided to establish Academy Ride in the farm that I bought to get away from the noisy and stressful life of the city to have a piece of mind. Many substructures were ready to be activated in a short period of two months.[ Now that I just came to my farm at the weekends, I was in the business and I joined the luck of the caravan who turned their hobby into work. Starting at 06:30 in the morning, sometimes starting at 22: 00-23: 00, but we can start the next day energetically again.]We invite you to discover and share this lifestyle with us.
