Superb Horse Riding Vacations on the Costa de la Luz in Andalusia, Spain.
You are in horse riding holiday / week long holiday For available dates and prices please see bottom of page or click here
A Beach Gallop
Fantastic week of horse riding.
During your full board holiday with us you will enjoy fantastic riding, have time to sunbathe on the beach and join in on some great socialising over dinner. Our riding provides two superb days of beach horse riding, and three days of fantastic forest riding. Each day is unique and includes steady canters along sandy tracks and fantastic gallops along firebreaks. Beach riding days are unforgettable, a dream come true! Although the gallops are fast our horses are well mannered and go at a pace that our riders ask of them. In-between canters we move on at a relaxed pace enabling you to make the most of this incredibly peaceful forest. Our horse riding holidays provide superb off road horse back riding for guests that can ride.
Superb horse riding adventure
Your holiday base for the week is the seaside town of Barbate. The town provides a fantastic setting for an all year round holiday destination. Our accommodation is just a few meters from the town's beautiful 1km long fine sandy beach, ideal for relaxing and sunbathing after the day's riding has finished. However Barbate is much more than superb riding and a fantastic beach. Barbate also has a lovely promenade with ice-cream parlours, bars and restaurants. As well as all this Barbate also has a great town centre with shopping, a lovely town square and a superb fish and fruit market. During your week with us you will experience the many delights that our horse riding offers and also be able to enjoy the adventure of living in a typical Spanish town.

Our aim is to provide a value for money all inclusive horse riding vacation that is a dream come true. All your needs will be well taken care of by ourselves so that you can enjoy a stress free holiday.
