Description
If you dream of riding through quiet, Spanish countryside, cantering along miles of sandy tracks, and venturing out into quintessentially Spanish villages then these rides will certainly be for you. Only ever with small groups, on well-trained, willing and forward going horses, these rides traverse the Campo de Gibraltar area of rural Andalucia and offer both based and trail short breaks. Ride across bucolic, green hillsides where the cattle graze, through vast woodlands with their sun-dappled paths and along ancient Roman roads. Traversing this landscape you will see the hallmarks of the region, from the moorish fortified towns to the indigenous Andaluz donkeys that still carry fruit and vegetables to market and help work in the fields.
The pace each day is moderate and there are opportunities for long trots and canters along the miles of old farmers tracks criss-crossing the landscape. Your host competes in endurance and the horses love the chance to move forward and sit in rhythm, effortlessly eating up the sun-scorched ground.
Whilst they are keen and forward going, these horses are also bright, polite and kind-natured. Whether you are looking for a relaxing break, with some fabulous riding and a bit of beach down-time, or a more challenging point to point trail across this historic area, you can find both here.
