Sample itinerary: Train & Trail Program - subject to changes
Whether completely new to the world of horses, an intermediate rider looking to improve their skills, this programme will allow you to leave with new skills and memories. This programme is particularly well-suited to families who want to ride together and enjoy time on horseback with their children.
Please, note that this program is more catered to novice and low intermediate riders. If you are an intermediate or more experienced rider wanting to sign up for this program, be aware that lessons will be more catered to less experienced riders.
The program includes 6 riding days (Sunday to Sunday) and you will combine lessons with horseback trails: 6 hours of lessons and 6 hours of trail rides (trails are 1-2 hours long).
A shorter version of this program can be arranged upon request.
-----------------------------------------
Sample itinerary: Equikinetik Program - subject to changes
The Equikinetic ® & Dual Activation ® Program will teach you fundamental knowledge about the anatomy of horses and how their brain works, in order to understand how to train them in a healthy and efficient way.
We offer you the services of a licensed Geitner-trainer as well as a variety of horses to practice with.
The classes are totally flexible and varied.
This program runs from Sunday to Sunday and consists of 5 riding days featuring theoretical classes, ground work and ridden exercises. The program includes: 1 day of Equikinetic lessons (3 hours) and 2 days of Dual Activation (ground work and ridden exercises - 3 hours each day).
During the months of April, May, June and September you will also enjoy a long trail with a snack near Son Negre (duration 4.5 hours). During the rest of the year, this is replaced by a 2h trail ride in the countryside plus a 1.5h flatwork lesson.
Extra riding hours (lessons and/or trails) can be added on request.
Non Riding Activities:
For those who come with a program they have a designated free day and can go to Porto Colom by transfer, which is included on the Dressage and Show jumping Programs.
If you prefer to change your day off (transfer) to another riding lesson, you can request it on the Son Menut tour (Monday's welcome tour), and we will try to reschedule your riding.
There are also many sights to see around the riding center, including Palma (only 1 hour away) which is always worth a visit during the day or at night.
We can arrange the following activities for you for an extra fee:
- Visit a local wine cellar
- Visit to an olive grove and olive oil tasting
- Boat trip to the island of Cabrera
- Yoga course
- Rental of professional bicycles
- Scuba diving lessons
- Rental of leisure touring bikes (from 6 euros for half a day and 10 euros for a full day)

Horses
The PRE breeding program was created in 1981. Our stockbreeding bases originated in the offspring of two horses (Ischia G. and Apocalipsis). Later on, we have bred our horses with different stallions. Nowadays, we have over 100 horses.
We also breed and tame Baskhir Curly Horses, the only hypoallergenic horses. The character of the Curly is soft, friendly and confident. Its tranquility and serenity hide a living intelligence and an exceptional strength.
Facilities
The facilities include a walker (for up to 4 horses), 42 stalls and boxes, 1 paddock, 12 pens, 1 covered arena and 2 outdoor arenas (50m x 70m and 20m x 40m).
Guides & Instructors
Our instructors and guides are all very professionals with many years of experience. Their goal is that you learn in an intuitive way and, above all, that you enjoy the experience.
Passport and Visa Requirements:
Passport valid for at least three months beyond length of stay required by all nationals referred to in the chart except:(a) 1. EU nationals holding a valid national ID card.Note: EU nationals are onl. more

Seasons
The beautiful island of Mallorca boasts an average of 300 days of sunshine each year. Mallorca is typically Mediterranean with hot, dry summers in the high 20°s (80°Fs) and mild winters, with the temperatures roughly half that of summer. The sea regulates extreme temperatures and pleasant sea breezes also keep hot days from becoming too unpleasant. Mallorca experiences irregular rainfall, mostly tending to fall between autumn and winter.
We recommend that you bring your own towel for the beach and pool. If you forget yours, we can supply one swimming pool towel at a cost of 1 euro per day. The pool towels should not be used at the beach.
We have all the necessities for smaller injuries, wounds, and cuts. If you need something, just ask the staff, and we will help you! Please, be aware that we are not allowed to give out any pills.

Accommodations
This is a stationary ride, so you will be staying in the same location during the trip.
Description
The finca started in 1993 as a stud farm. The finca was built as a low-rise building in order to blend harmoniously into the lowland environment and with the historic farmhouse construction, which is over 50 years old. Our buildings are surrounded by gardens of native vegetation thus reducing our impact on the surrounding landscape. Almost all landscaping on the premises is carried out using indigenous species. This approach not only promotes and preserves the natural flora but also minimises water usage.
Year after year we have added amenities and improved the facilities. Today we have a country hotel, a riding school with more than 70 horses, a restaurant where we highlight our own Dexter meat and wine, and a swimming pool and spa.
The on-site spa offers a range of treatments to riders and is a great way to relax at the end of the day. Bikes are available onsite for rental for an added fee.
We also offer a laundry service.
The finca is about 20 minute drive away from the beach (rental car needed). Our purpose is to enhance an active, high-quality tourism on our island in a natural and friendly environment.
We offer accommodations in fully refurbished rooms. Our values: authenticity, quality, sustainability and family.
Room Options
Each room has a private bathroom with towels, a mini-bar, phone, satellite TV, WIFI, hairdryer, a safe, a kettle, a safe and climate control. Each room is designed to reflect the local culture. Laundry is available onsite (extra fee).
Standard room
- 6 rooms total
- Single, twin, or double occupancy
Our standard rooms have been upgraded recently. They combine a rustic aesthetic with modern comforts, remaining true to the authentic Majorcan style.
They are fully equipped with satellite TV, telephone, WI-FI, climate control, a water kettle, safety deposit box, bathroom with bathtub, towels and amenities.
Superior room (29 m2 + balcony) - Upgrade
- 6 rooms total
- Can accommodate up to 4 people (additional fee for extra beds)
These rooms are located next to the main building and above the restaurant’s dining room. Each room is equipped with satellite TV, telephone, WI-FI, climate control, a water kettle, safety deposit box, bathroom with shower, towels and amenities and a balcony. These rooms have a modern décor.
Room Occupancy
Triple and quad occupancy are available in the superior room (additional fee for extra beds).
The single supplement fee applies if you are willing to share and we are unable to find another rider to share.
Meals
All meals from dinner on the first day to breakfast on the last day are included.
The restaurant serves Mediterranean food and local dishes.
We cultivate a variety of fresh local produce – seasonal fruits and vegetables, wine, and Dexter beef – which we then serve in our restaurant. We care about the health of our customers and of our land, cultivating without any chemical additives and prioritising quality over quantity. Any raw products or materials we cannot produce are purchased, with priority given to other local produces in order to reduce CO2 emissions owing to transport and supporting local, quality agriculture and livestock.
During the summer, meals are served on the terrace and we have barbecues in the garden.
Breakfast is usually served between 8 am and 10 am.
Lunch service is available between 1 pm and 3 pm.
Dinner is taken between 7 pm and 9:30 pm.
Please, note that our restaurant "à la carte" is closed on Wednesday. We will provide a special lunch menu on that day and the dinner will include a BBQ meal that day.
