All Levels Welcome

While on holiday in Cabo de Gata, you can learn to ride a horse - if you have never done it before, or if you have done it without any previous training - or improve your skills. Quality learning, with methods that take into account the ethology of the horse and experienced tutors. 

Horses

Spanish, Hispano-Arab, and Arabian horses, chosen for their good character and strength, trained using natural horsemanship and dressage techniques. They are sure-footed, dynamic, brave, good, respectful and sensitive horses who enjoy the company of people.

Riding

All Levels Welcome

Accompanying non-riders are welcome!

Tack

Riders will ride in Spanish saddles (a bit like English saddles with slightly more security), and should be prepared for several hours in the saddle daily at all paces.

Accommodation

Exclusive hotels, integrated into the park, surrounded by nature and next to the horses, just a few minutes from San José or Rodalquilar. Hotels include swimming pool and guarantee a restful and relaxing stay.

Dining

Quality restaurants serving traditional Andalusian cuisine with a contemporary twist. Breakfasts are included, lunches and dinners are on your own with plenty of local options.
