A Beach Canter
In this frantic world that we all live in there is a need to escape occasionally. Why not join us on one of our full board weekend breaks and escape to the unspoilt Costa de la Luz. During your weekend here you will enjoy superb horse riding and the wonderful Spanish climate. Our trails provide fantastic beach horse riding, and superb forest riding. Each day is unique and includes steady canters along sandy tracks and fantastic gallops along firebreaks. Beach riding day is unforgettable, a dream come true! Our horse riding weekend break provides superb off road horse back riding for guests that know how to ride.
Your holiday base for the weekend is the seaside town of Barbate. The town provides a fantastic setting for a riding holiday destination. As well as superb riding and a fantastic beach, Barbate also has a lovely promenade. With ice-cream parlours, bars and restaurants the promenade is ideal for relaxing on after riding. As well as all this Barbate has a great town centre with shopping, a lovely town square and a superb fish and fruit market.
