Portrait of Spirit, one of Nektarios' horses on Hydra

01

Spirit

  • Smart
  • Dynamic
  • Born leader

Sharp, quick and full of drive, Spirit is a born leader on the trail, the one who likes to be out in front reading the path before you do. She sets the pace with a confidence that puts riders at ease, clever enough to look after herself and everyone following behind. Give her a job and she rises to it.

Stacy

  • Sweet
  • Friendly
  • Gentle

Stacy is the one everyone falls for. Sweet-natured, endlessly friendly and with an innocence that never fades, she greets every rider like an old friend. Calm and forgiving, she is a favourite first horse for children and nervous beginners.

03

Sunrise

  • Calm strength
  • Big-hearted
  • Steady

There is a quiet power to Sunrise. Strong and steady without ever being pushy, she carries herself with the kind of pride and generosity the Greeks call filotimo, always giving her best. On a long ride she is the one you can count on.

Nikki

  • Spirited
  • Beautiful
  • Full of cheer

Beautiful and bursting with good cheer, Nikki brings the energy. Enthusiastic about everything, from a morning on the trail to a fuss at the stable gate, her good mood is contagious. Ride her and you will finish the day smiling.

Diva

  • Wise
  • Matriarch
  • Head of the herd

Diva is the matriarch, the one the whole herd answers to back at the stable, and she wears it with wisdom. Years on the island's paths have made her calm, knowing and quietly in charge. The others look to her, and so can you: she has seen every trail and forgotten none.
