Short Breaks -----------------------

The short breaks run from Saturday to Wednesday and include three full days riding through some of the most spectacular parts of the National and Natural Park of Sierra Nevada. During your holiday you will stay in the comfortable Casa la Sevillana located in the small village of Bubion. The village is quiet and charming and boasts some very nice little restaurants and small bars, perfect for a relaxing evening.

The diversity of bridle-paths and forest tracks allows us in three days to explore many of the more inaccessible ravines and valleys of this mountainous region. From the high summer pastures and streams fed by the snow melt of the Mulhacen, down to the whitewashed villages in the valleys.

The routes are so planned that we ride over totally different terrain each day. One day we follow small paths high into the mountains, with spectacular views on a clear day of the Mediterranean on one hand and the highest peaks on the other. On other days we take slightly lower routes where the many forest tracks allow for a faster pace.

RIDING: As with all our rides you need to have a reasonable level of fitness and there are places you will need to lead your horse. It is necessary to be comfortable at all paces. Please specify your riding experience, weight and height when booking. The average riding time per day is 6 hours.

SHORT BREAKS FOR BEGINNERS / NOVICES

In addition to the three-day short breaks we are now offering a short break for beginner and novice riders for the same dates. The aim of this program is to give you a solid introduction to the basics of riding, handling and caring for a horse.

This is an ideal opportunity, in a relaxed and friendly environment, to learn or improve your basic riding skills and gain confidence around horses.

Each day you will have a lesson in the morning followed by a break for lunch. In addition to the riding lesson we will show you how to groom and tack your horse and how to safely manage a horse on the ground. During the afternoon we will take you out for a gentle hack allowing you to immediately put into practise what you learnt in the morning.

Groups will be kept to a maximum of five riders thus ensuring that you get the most out of your time with us.

On this programme there is a maximum weight limit of 85 kilos.

MEALS: Dinner is included on the night of arrival, thereafter we are happy to recommend and make reservations for the local restaurants. On the days you ride we provide a full picnic using fresh local produce. Please specify if you are a vegetarian or have any special dietary requirements.
