Train & Trail in Mallorca

Introduction
Mallorca/Menorca 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, the finca offers the natural terrain and luxury embellishments to make this your best riding holiday.

The hotel, which has become the heart of the estate, has 12 comfortable private rooms and a clubhouse (with a bar, restaurant, swimming pool, terraces and small spa facility). It is built in the traditional Spanish style: a country home decorated in a functional yet rustic way with all the necessary facilities for a relaxing vacation. Food is delicious and high quality. Come explore with us on this beautiful island!

Accomodation


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.

Meals

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.

This trip includes and can accommodate special dietary requests.

Riding


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.
