What better way to see
the Algarve countryside
than from the back of a horse.

Since safety and your enjoyment
is our prime concern, initial
assessment for the right level
of ride and choice of the right horse
for you is important.

Rusty riders are advised to take a refresher lesson first.

ESCORT RIDERS

NATURE WALKS

A wonderful way for beginner riders to enjoy the countryside on horseback.On the safety of a lead rein if required. Ride past Cork and Carob trees. Be on the look out for the Azul-winged Magpies, lizards and rabbits.

TREKS
Walking and trotting through the pinewoods, beside the golf course and lakes. In spring wild flowers abound and the area attracts a wealth of bird life. Smell the Thyme, Rosemary and the "Curry" plant. No road work!

HACKS
One hour hacks take place in the same area as above, to the south of the stables.

Two hour hacks explore further afield and may have to cross roads and occasionally ride along short stretches of quiet roads to link up to off road riding.

Ludo is a farming valley with orange groves, old farm houses and perhaps a flock of sheep accompanied by a shepherd and his dog.

Several routes bring rides to the beach area with tracks beside sand dunes and tidal lagoons and through forestry. Sea breezes cool the face on a warm day. To protect the environment we do not ride on the dunes nor on the beach in summer season. The wonderful golden sandy beaches proudly possess prestigious blue flags, indicating a high standard of safety and hygiene.

Westward brings us to Fonte Santa, with more pines, a lake and the remains of Roman ruins buried beneath the sands.

If you have chosen the holiday discount card It is possible to have a different route/ area for each 2 hour ride.

SPECIAL RIDES
For riders of hack standard. 2 hours of riding with picnic or BBQ chicken meal. Sunset and full moon rides. Non riders are welcome to come along by car and join the meal.
