Our Rides & What We Offer
| Evenings & Day Off | Horse
Show |
We provide each day
4 - 5 hours riding, 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 gallops... splashing through rivers…riding past loose roaming horses in the river valleys…riding past famous breeding stations such as the Ferrari stud where we can see the young horses at play... every ride is different and you will be amazed at the variety of the countryside that we can ride through...
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
On Thursday evening we all get to enjoy a presentatation of Andalucian
Horsemanship. "Cartujano del Arte Ecuestre" 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....
Salvador Sanchez jr.
who will ride for you, together with his father, younger brother and
sister, was recently the National Champion of Spain in Highschool
Equitation (Doma Classica) runner up.
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 !
