Improve your Riding

Introduction
Mallorca Spain

Dedicated to the world of horses, this beautiful estate has become a compelling visit for the horse enthusiast and admirer of the peaceful Mallorcan countryside. Surrounded by the idyllic natural beauty of the Levante hills, here you can enjoy one of the best riding holidays ever, complete with professional instruction and gorgeous, well-trained Andalusian horses.
The riding estate is located in the southeastern part of the island, the most famous one of the Balearean. Wonderfully close to protected wildlife areas with utterly undisturbed nature and a colourful, varied landscape, yet only four miles from the sandy beaches of Es Trenc and Cala Mondrag.
The hotel, which has become the heart of the estate, has ten comfortable private rooms and a clubhouse (with a bar, restaurant, swimming pool, terraces and small spa facility). It is built in traditional Spanish style, a country home decorated in a functional and comfortable yet rustic way, with all the necessary facilities for a relaxing vacation. It is your home for the week while you immerse yourself in skilled instruction and scenic trail rides.
There is an arena available for the dressage enthusiast or lover of showjumping,  instructions available for both disciplines as well as lessons for the beginner rider. You can have the freedom to design your riding program individually from day to day.
Extra rides and lessons can be added on and paid for locally. Each week you can participate in relaxing and entertaining trail rides or for the more experienced riders join in on the full day excursions. Some trail rides may include riding at the beach  (horses are transported there by vehicle). All mounts are well schooled and well taken care of, a beautiful selection of Andalusians as well as other Spanish and Mallorquin horses, most of which have been bred and raised on this reputable stud farm. There are many other activities and excursions available nearby - we recommend to rent a car for the week for greatest flexibility.

Itinerary

The Weeks Program
You can choose your riding program a la carte - ride as much as you like or combine riding with relaxation and sightseeing and visits to the beach.
For the more experienced rider there is the option to train dressage on the Andalusian stallion. on the property. For less exprienced riders eagar to learn, we suggest group lessons combined with trail rides, where we will slowly build up your confidence during the week and you leave well educated riders.
There are lessons for everyone in the arena to improve your general riding, whether it be dressage and/or show jumping lessons. The trail ride lengths and levels build up gradually with one or two hours for the first couple of days and the remaining days are full day rides to explore the local hills and to the beaches of the north of the island. The A la carte program only includes breakfast, leaving you the the most flexibility throughout the day - renting a car is inexpensive if ordering in advance and is a good option for you. There are many sights to see and even Palma is only an hour away - always worth a visit during the day or at night.
