on the southern slopes of the Sierra Nevada mountains, offers
some of the best horse riding countryside in Europe.
Expertly led, complete one-week horse riding holidays and short breaks

and captivating lands.
Dallas Love
Dallas owns the longest established holiday riding centre in the Alpujarras. For over 22 years her top quality spanish horses have provided unforgettable holidays for hundreds of people.
She came to Spain from Britain at the age of eight, and has
rarely been far from a saddle ever since. Riding since childhood
and working with horses all her adult life, she established
the first stables in La Alpujarra and now has more than
20 horses. All the horses have been backed and schooled
by Dallas and her brother Mordecai, a professional dressage
trainer. Most of the horses have a basic training in classical
dressage
Beautiful and Rewarding Riding Country
She also possesses a great understanding and respect for
the ways and customs of these mountains. Few people are
better acquainted with its hidden valleys, lost paths and
ancient waterways.
Over the years she has gained a wonderful reputation for
the quality of her riding holidays. Excellent horses, a
lifetime's knowledge of these mountains and her own, carefully
researched trails - through some of the most beautiful and
rewarding riding country in the world - are just some of
the secrets of her success.
Excellent Horses and a Lifetime's Knowledge
All the rides are accompanied by Dallas personally and
as the owner/trainer of the horses she is the ideal person
to select the horses for each participant, and to give advice
or assistance whenever required.
As Horse and Hound Magazine wrote in their article, 'The
Spanish High Life', "her determination to make everything
as much fun as possible is only superceded by her love for
her horses".
