.

Instruction

We tailor courses according to your particular interests, needs and objectives and our goal is to teach, in an easily understood way, the classical methods that have stood the test of time. Age or standard (although not suitable for absolute beginners) of riding is unimportant; we have horses for novice to advanced. You may find it preferable to keep with one horse throughout your course/stay, or it may be beneficial to experience a number of different horses.

The Horses

Predominantly Purebred Spanish horses, some Portuguese Lusitanos and Tres Sangres. Our horses have great spirit, yet are gentle and intelligent. You may learn as much from the horses as from the instructors! Our more experienced horses are capable of elevated movements and High School as well as good extension and they move with lightness, collection and with excellent balance and cadence. More advanced riders can experience the horse of the 'masters' of years gone by.
