Riding Full

For our professionals the "Riding Full" program comprises of expanded "Star" rides in the morning and in the afternoon by the mountains of Mijas through trampling paths to valleys and forests of eucalyptus where in the summer red oleander flourishes. The refreshments are provided by two saddlebag picnics then over the mountains to Alhaurin where the horses stay overnight. On the next day a ride along the river, passing Fuengirola then back to the finca. Then to crown the day a ride on "Atlantic beach".

In the morning the horses are transported and you are taken by bus along the Costa del Sol passing Marbella and Estepona, the historic Rock of Gibraltar and weather permitting the unique views of the coast of Africa. The drive passes TARIFA, following the Atlantic coast along to Facinas. Here your ride begins by the finca of the famous combat animal breeders "Nunez", whose black splendour you can admire at a safe distance. Over Vereas, the old cattle trails of Spain, past sunflower and cotton fields passing the large hers of the "Retintas" (large Spanish breed of red cows). You will reach the small fishing village of Zahara de Atunes. Where you and your horse can refresh in a hotel directly on the beach and prepare for the beach ride. You can take a lunch break (not in inclusive price). We suggest you try the local speciality of fresh tuna.

The afternoon begins on the broad white sand beach. (which is only visited by a few individual fishermen during the summer months) inviting you to a long expanded gallop. Occasionally you and the horses can have a little bathe to cool down then on to BARBATE where you and the horses will be loaded and shipped back to the finca
