Oh deer

Up in the mountains and oh deer!

We love to see them (and the goats).

Look at the view!

Our Saddle Up Experience riders, a special 2 hour experience for beginners, absolutely love their countryside ride out. Mainly because they get to stop and appreciate the stunning views. Which are also seen on our 2 hour Africa Viewpoint hack which is for riders than can walk and trot a little.

(We also think the view anytime between the ears of a horse is perfect!)

Mountain hacks Estepona

We have been busy taking people out on wonderful mountain hacks Estepona over these last weeks. The weather has been really wonderful, sunny days, lovely sunsets and after the rains the countryside is now carpeted in green again.

The rivers are flowing again and that’s always something we enjoy having back on our horse riding tours.

Here’s just a few photos from our rides. Would you like to join us?

River rides

The rivers are flowing again and the river rides are back as one of the favourite routes for our horse riders!

It’s really so beautiful in the countryside behind Estepona. And once the rains come, the rivers add something magical to the trails.

Come and join us on a horse riding adventure on our mountain and river rides into the Sierra Bermeja.

Autumn hacks

It’s so beautiful up in the mountains at this time of year and the perfect temperature to enjoy some fabulous autumn hacks.

This is Alberto, he is 70 something and one of our regular riders when he is here in the cooler months. He is on his new favorite horse, Ringo. He has ridden most of the horses at the Ranch over the years.

Alberto, you are inspirational to us all!

Happy hackers

We have been busy introducing beginners to our horses with our Saddle Up 2 hour experience for first timers.
And taking a lot of children through our fantastic one-to-one learn to ride package called Trot On.
Plus of course taking people out riding and enjoying the company of our many liveries on the trails.
Here you’ll see Nicola, a new rider, taking Ahitan (Arab) out for the first time with Sylvia and Lord.

Shiny bum! Arab Ahitan

Meet the goats

At the end of a lovely long hill canter the riders met the goats, deer and incredible views!

First time at the top!

Arezu, Caroline’s new young Arab in training for future endurance competitions, went on her first longer ride to the mountain trails. Here she is happy after a long canter up the trails, meeting the goats for the first time and everyone enjoying of course the views. Well done Arezu on your first time at the top. Watch this space, she is a super talented horse.
