Excursions on horseback

Once a day, we go for excursions on horseback. We follow the spectacular cliffs of El Cotillo or ride into the romantic sunsets in the evening. The rides last about 2 hours and are suitable for individuals as well as couples and families. In the mixed groups we make sure that beginners and more experienced riders both have fun. And of course our horses do too! For advanced riders, we are also happy to arrange personalised VIP rides with individual routes, depending on experience.

 Special: Romantic Sunsets

Mindfulness with horses

Horses live entirely in the present, and so they are a living study in mindfulness.
Their ability to be in the moment without judgment allows them to pick up on our subtle body language signals and emotions. Horses often mirror our feelings and when we show stress, nervousness or strong emotions, they tend to show the same. This unbiased feedback from the horse gives us the opportunity to see ourselves better and challenges us to look inwards, explore ourselves, and ask ourselves: what is alive in me now, in this moment?
Trust Training

Mindful Trust Training

This course is aimed at owners and animal lovers who want to get to know a magical human-horse interaction.
It is based on presence and non-violent communication, according to the founder Marshall Rosenberg.
What does it mean to be "PRESENT"? Why does "being present" change our friendship? What else is possible to have a happy and easy relationship with the horse?

This course will show you how much more connection and trust with your horse is possible, change your thinking about partnership forever, and help you build a deep friendship with your animals !!!

The animals are our stars
