Our Rides & What We Offer

| Evenings & Day Off | Horse Show |

We provide an average of 4 hours of riding per day (sometimes more), during which we will stop for a break. There will be sandwiches, fruit and water in the saddlebags whilst you stretch you legs and give the horses some girth relief....

Due to the hot afternoons (which can be too much for the horse and human) in the summer months, we will enjoy early starts. (However, long, late, hot afternoons will be a good time to re-charge the batteries!)

Our Rides
Our rides will take us through rivers and river valleys, through orange and lemon tree plantations, through forest, over hills and mountains into the rugged countryside that is Andalucia. They will give you outstanding scenic views (bring your camera) and the most beautiful locations. We will also take you through the little settlements that the normal tourist may never see...we will enjoy trots, canters and exhilarating ,moments.... splashing through rivers…coming across loose roaming horses in the river valleys…riding past breeding stations of Purebred Spanish horses (PRE) where we can see the young horses at play... where every ride is different and you will be amazed at the variety of the countryside that we can ride through...

"Andalucia intoxicates like alcohol and opium.....if ever I was asked what Andalucia means to me, what single word sums up the thousand sensations, suggestions and possibilities that unite the radiant surface of Andalucia, I would say: HAPPINESS"         

Luis Cernuda, poet (Sevilla)

We know that the quality of our horses, the beauty of the landscape, the flavours of Andalucia, and your hosts, will add up to give you a horse riding holiday that you will enjoy and always remember.The beauty of the Andalucian countryside is something that has captured the imagination of people throughout time, and to explore it on horseback is in our opinions, the ultimate reality !

William Cavendish, Duke of Newcastle, one of the great horse masters of the world, reported in 1667 that the Spanish horse of Andalucia is the "Prince" of the horseworld.....gallant and noble.....and unnervingly intelligent....

Evenings & Day Off
In the evening you will be home at the ranch where you can relax by our pool or visit the town. One-day off is provided where we can help with any tours/sight-seeing excursions that you may want to undertake.

Andalucian Horse Show 
Between April and beginning October  you will have the opportunity to enjoy a presentation of Andalucian Horsemanship "Cartujano del Arte Ecuestre" on Thursday evening. Salvador Sanchez Sr. together with his two sons, daughter and grandchildren offers us a unique spectacle showing us the dance and elegance of the Carthusian horse of pure Spanish blood and the movements of classic dressage, Piaffe, Passage, Levada, Cabriola..........a mixture of sentiments, professionalism and showmanship to the rythm of native Andalucia, with traditional costume and music. Set under the mountains of Mijas in a former bullring it is an authentic Andalucian experience...
