| The Rides |
You will ride on 5
days for an average of 3 1/2 -5 hours each day. Each
day will be varied and different. We don't set a daily
itinerary because we like to chose the right day for
the right ride. Two days a week we picnic in the forest.
On the other three riding days we break in the forest
for a drink and then a snack at a local bar, then carry
on with our ride, arriving back at base mid afternoon
for a late lunch, you will ride in small friendly groups
of no more than eight. You will be accompanied at all
times by two of our English speaking guides. We are
sure you will get on with them, their friendliness,
professionalism and local knowledge are second to none.
With many years on these trails behind them, they are
able to show you places that will simply take your breath
away.

Forest
rides Los Alamos sits on the edge of the spectacular
natural park of La Brena y Las Marisamas consisting
of forest, salt marshes, steep cliffs and miles
of sandy beach. The forest consists of 5000 hectares
of mainly umbrella pine and eucalyptus trees,
giving a unique fresh aroma. The forest stretches
out along the hills and cliffs, offering stunning
views over the African coast and the beaches of
cape Trafalgar. The going in the forest is excellent,
with long sandy tracks and firebreaks that weave
their way through the trees and wild flowers such
as lavender and rosemary. Here you have the opportunity
for long collected canters and as you become more
confident with your horse we start to include
corners, these canters we affectionately call
the "wiggly canters". The firebreaks give the
perfect opportunity for exhilarating gallops that
are loved equally by horse and rider. In between
the excitement we travel at a leisurely pace enabling
you to take in the peaceful tranquillity of the
forest while bonding with your horse.

The
beach for those of you who have already ridden on
a beach we need say no more. For those that haven't
prepare to make your dreams come true. We ride along
the edge of the forest down onto the long sandy beaches
of Cape Trafalgar and El Palmar. These beaches stretch
for 10Km, giving plenty of room to let your horse show
you what he can really do. The pace of the beach is
fast and exhilarating and something you will never forget.
People and horses leave the beach with big grins and
lots of sand on their faces. |

Countryside
The rolling hills of El Campo offers fantastic views
as we ride over ancient drovers roads and cattle tracks.
We ride past old monastery's and through the sleepy
Andalucian hamlet of San Ambrosia, which has remained
untouched for centuries. |
