Riding Holidays Blog

Everything here is written from the saddle. These are the notes we keep from the routes we ride every season across the Sierra de Gredos and Extremadura, the horses we breed and train ourselves, and the questions guests ask us in the weeks before they travel. If you are weighing up a week-long trail, this is a good place to start.

Where to start if this would be your first week in the saddle

Most riders arrive with the same three doubts: whether they are fit enough, how many hours a day they will actually be riding, and what the week costs once everything is included. Why go on a horse riding holiday answers the first, the riding level page answers the second, and our dates and prices answer the third.

Choosing a route by the country you want to cross

The routes are not interchangeable. Some climb into the high sierra, some run for days across open dehesa where you can canter properly, and others follow historic drove roads between stone villages. If mountains are what you are after, read about mountain horse riding holidays; if you are still comparing destinations, places for horse riding holidays sorts them by terrain rather than by country.

A few things worth knowing before you settle on a week:

  • Every guest rides the same horse for the whole trail, not a different one each morning.
  • Groups stay small, with an experienced guide and a support vehicle carrying the luggage.
  • Days run roughly four to seven hours in the saddle, with a picnic lunch out on the route.
  • The package is all inclusive: accommodation, meals, transfers and luggage transfer, with a single room available on request.

If none of the published dates work for you, or you are travelling as a private group, tell us what you have in mind and we will look at a tailor-made week. Every enquiry is answered personally, usually the same day.
