Pinetrees Riding Centre is offering you the chance to get together with a group of friends for a great low season riding holiday in Portugal... escaping the cold winter weather in the UK. Flights into Faro airport, from many locations in the UK, are economical and numerous throughout the year and there is a choice of accommodation near the centre to suit all pockets.

Pinetrees is an ABRS approved riding school in Central Algarve, near Almancil, which provides quality, professional riding tuition for all levels and wonderful rides out through the Ludo Valley and across the Ria Formosa mud flats. It has a choice of 12 horses with characters to suit every rider ... including four schoolmasters and four good ponies. So whether you want to develop your riding skills, improve your stable management or just ride out through the countryside, there will be a horse to suit your size, requirements and ability.

Pinetrees is offering a 10 hour riding package at the special price of €200 for 10 hours riding or 15 hours for €300 from 1 November – 20 December 2010 and 6 Janaury to 31 March 2011.

For non horsey people, there is plenty to do in the area from bird watching and cycling to golf, tennis and even walking barefoot on the beach!
