For those who appreciate Spanish horses, there are plenty of Andalusians and PRE horses to discover, known for their expressive movements and elegant appearance. Between riding sessions, you can relax by the pool, enjoy the delicious food and welcoming atmosphere, or simply sit back and watch the horses and other riders at the centre.
One of the days also gives you the opportunity to discover Portocolom, a charming coastal town. You will be driven there and back to the riding centre, giving you time to stroll around, enjoy the seaside and experience the local atmosphere.

Aha Moments and Subtle Aids – A Fantastic Riding Trip!
"I rode a lot as a child and have recently started riding intensively again. The warmth from the sun, the staff, and the delicious food made my stay amazing. But the best part was all the aha moments during the lessons. The feeling was indescribable when I learned to use subtle aids to get 'my' horse to understand what I was asking him to do."
– Helena Dubois
