Wow!
What a fantastic adventure. Thanks to the whole team. The horses are amazing, clearly well looked after and very happy with their lives. Great company on the ride too. Worth making sure your footwear is up to walking on rocky terrain. We will be back.
Fantastisch!!!
I just spent a week riding an incredibly beautiful track. Fantastic horses, delicious food, good accommodations, and great guidance. I can wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. I was there for the third time but am already looking forward to the fourth.
Amazing Alpujarra
What an amazing experience this was. Thank you so much Dallas, Mordecai and team, but most of all wonderful Kinder 🙂
If you fancy experiencing unspoilt areas of the Sierra Nevada, on tough, steady and experienced horses, and having a gorgeous picnic of local food, you will love this. There is nothing I could say that would really reflect how wonderful this adventure was for me, and I’m so very grateful I got to experience it with such wonderful people and horses 🙂 Life enhancing for sure. Thank you again!
Breath-taking!
It was such a huge privilege to ride such beautiful noble horses, across the breath-taking mountains of the Sierra Nevada. At an altitude of 2, 000 meters, the air was so clean and the smell of the herbs as the horses passed through was such a special and unforgettable experience. Dallas, Mordachai, Jeanette and Blossom were fun, knowledgeable guides and everything worked to plan, with great picnics in beautiful locations. The accommodation worked well in both locations and we didnt want for anything. My friend and I felt incredibly fortunate to have spent 5 days, 3 of which were in the saddle. Thank you so much for giving us such an adventure!
Amazing Adventure
We have just returned from a weekend riding the Sierra Trails. What an adventure! We have ridden some beautiful horses over superb country. A challenging weekend on confidence and fitness while making friends with riders and horses. Dallas and the team really made our weekend comfortable and fun. Advise that you are fit for riding and walking, as not for the faint-hearted.
Alpujarra pueblos blancos 31/8 - 06/9/2025
This hike through unspoiled nature, in the fresh air at an altitude of 2,000 meters, was a wonderful discovery. The horses are “professionals” and know where to place their hooves to overcome steep slopes, both uphill and downhill.
What can we say about our guides, Dallas and his brother Murakai, who were friendly and helpful, as well as concerned about protecting the horses, and Dallas, who prepared excellent picnics for us.
All the logistics were impeccable. I loved the spacious rooms of our rural hotels and their swimming pools for relaxation. From one stage to the next, our luggage was transported, the hearty, homemade meals served in the evening accompanied by excellent wine or any other drink according to our different tastes, in the restaurants of the white villages where we were always well received, surely also thanks to our guides who are truly well known and recognized in the region.
I also really enjoyed our small group where I felt a spontaneous understanding with our shared taste for horse riding, and for me, the only French person in the group, I spoke English all week with you, so, friends of Alpujarra, thank you again for your patience!
other : as it was my first ride with horses 5 days long, so first of all, I had prepared myself to be able to do this horseback ride according to the advice given ! and everyone was top

The owner and staff were very friendly. The horses are very well trained and cared for.
Absolutely fabulous. Beautiful horses & Dallas, Mordicai & Jeanette looked after us all so well, couldn't have been lovelier. Wonderful scenery, gorgeous food & excellent hosts. An absolute privilege to ride these beautiful horses. My mare Diler, was an angel & adorable & I couldn't recommend it more highly to riding enthusiasts, who want to release their inner cowboy!! Amazing, thank you all so much, loved every moment ~ Meg
Spending a week on the Alpujarra trail ride with Sierra Trails was nothing short of unforgettable. The landscapes were stunning and incredibly diverse – from rugged mountain passes to quiet valleys, every day felt unique and breathtaking. The horses were outstanding: reliable, full of character, and the very best representatives of their breeds. They know the terrain so well and make you feel completely safe, even on the trickiest paths. Dallas and Mordecai were the perfect hosts and guides – highly safety-minded, knowledgeable, and at the same time wonderfully warm and approachable. For anyone who loves mountains, long trail rides, and exceptional horses, this is an absolute must.
Had a great 3h ride yesterday! Jaleo, 'my' horse was great (calm, forward, strong & friendly) and Dallas is a skilled guide and very nice company. Beautiful surroundings! The horses are clearly well taken care of, happy and can enjoy their time with the herd on the pastures when they're free. I highly recommend riding with Sierra Trails!
Muy buena experiencia!!!
Horses excellent and very well cared for, great atmosphere all round. Stunning area. Highly recommended!
Happy people, happy horses, great food, great holiday !
The Horses are a pleasure to ride and very well taken care of. Highly recommend!
I went for a 3 hour ride today and it was amazing! The horses are very calm and brave and Dallas and the other people were very friendly. There was a lot of attention paid to the horses and they are in very good shape. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to ride in the Sierra Nevada.
Adventure of a lifetime! Beautiful mountain landscapes, varied trails, lovely picnics, and most importantly, wonderful & happy horses. El Sulayr 3-day horse-riding break with Dallas Love is an amazing experience. The superb organization by Dallas and her colleagues means all you need to do is get in the saddle and enjoy the views and bouncing manes. Highly recommended!
I highly recommend the 3-day ride El Sulayr. Amazing views! The hosts are great and organisation was perfect. Horses are very kind and smart, and it is obvious they are absolutely loved and well-taken care of.
I had a great experience, and I highly recommend this stable if you’re looking for a place to ride near the Barranco De Poqueira pueblos. The horses are beautiful and fun to ride, and the trails and views are gorgeous. Dallas and Mordecai were the trek leaders (I only did one day but the rest of the group did 4 days), and they were great, very professional and personable. They have rides from a couple hours to multiple days, so there’s something for every level rider, and it’s a fantastic way to see La Alpujarra.
I rode on the seven day Alpujarras Ride in May 2022. Beautiful terrain, good horses, great food, and knowledgeable guides. I really enjoyed the trip, and highly recommend riding with Dallas and her outfit!
I went for the one week Alpujarra trail and everybody I meet now has to suffer from my endlessly talking about it with shining eyes. I join the other guests in praising the organisation, hotels and overall experience. Just some additional remarks... The horses: whatever Dallas tells you about their breed, there is at least one third mountain goat in each of them. Incredible how they climb up and down those paths. The food: Honestly, the kilo I gained is all muscle and has nothing to do with the spanish breakfast, the tasty picknicks, the wine, the superb dinners... Did I mention the wine? I'll definitely be back!
What an incredible holiday! We had a fabulous week long trail ride through the stunning scenery of the Alpujarras. As a family of 4 ( children 11 & 14) Dallas made sure that we were well matched with our mounts and was extremely thoughtful and patient with us all. The horses were superb- sure footed, responsive and in great condition. Each day we enjoyed a wonderful picnic made by Dallas who is clearly a great cook. This experience has created life long memories for us all. Must also mention the lovely Jeanette who met us at the airport and ensured everything behind the scenes ran smoothly.
I have been privileged to ride in dozens of countries through superb landscapes -- but these horses are something else. Brave, strong, charismatic, full of personality and beautifully schooled. Sure-footed and big-hearted, they took us up rocky paths, pine forests, open fields, white-washed villages, up and up and far away from the stress and chatter of our urban lives. The views are beautiful, of course. But above all, these mountains resonate with a deep sense of serenity. Each night we collapsed in simple, clean beds and slept like babies. Each morning we woke to a delicious breakfast spread with tomatoes that actually tasted like tomatoes. Dallas guided us expertly, sharing the history of this land while paying close attention to the safety and comfort of both riders and horses. We just enjoyed the moment, enjoyed our horses, enjoyed the view, enjoyed the food. Do yourself the favor of pressing that reset button as well. You could not be in better hands, perched on better hooves.
We rode with Dallas for a day in early Jan, she is a superb guide, is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and has fantastically maintained horses. The trail was incredible and she was a great company. We could not recommend Sierra Trails more.
My husband & I thoroughly enjoyed our magnificent day’s horse riding experience, exploring the beauty of the mountain range above & beyond Capileira in the unspoiled & wild Alpujarras. Our lovely guides, Jeanette, Lisa & Hilde were very skilled & friendly & provided us with well cared-for horses, suited to our ability. A delicious freshly prepared lunch, home-made by Dallas, the owner of the business, was an added treat! Highly recommended.
We loved our ride with Dallas. She takes great care of the horses, the landscapes of Sierra Nevada are incredible and we had good fun on our two hour ride.
Dallas is an amazing host. She knows the trails like no other. She'll take you up the mountain and make you feel like no one else has been there before! The views are just breath taking!
great owner and all staff horses in very good condition amazing trails and experiences highly recommend!
Amazing place. Highly recommended for a horse riding holiday. Great scenery in the sierra nevada mountains and well kept and happy horses.
