The Equestrian, Riders Rest. Cappadocia is ‘The Land of Beautiful Horses.’ For centuries riders caught and tamed wild horses. The equestrians crossed the wide valleys and the steep mountains by horseback, spreading the fame of these strong and resilient beasts. To protect their priceless horses, the people of Cappadocia kept the animals close and commonly had a stable within the household. The Equestrian Suite was once used as the main stable at Aya Kapadokya.
