A: A maximum of six to provide a well managed and safe riding environment. We also welcome additional non-riders

A: You need to be an intermediate rider. This would usually indicate at least 5 years of riding experience. You should be able to ride a horse with a good independent seat in walk, trot and canter over even and variable ground. Advanced riders are also welcome and won't be disappointed by the quality and standard of the horses. We always want to hear of children who may have less riding experience, but may have already developed good skills

A: We do use a mounting block when we get on the horses at the ranch. This helps and protects the horses backs. We do however hope that guests can mount a horse without a mounting block as this reflects a degree of agility on the part of the rider and there may be circumstances in an outside environment where it is necessary to get on and off a horse in a situation where there are no aids to mounting !

A: Your weight - yes, a maximum of 85 kilos per rider ! Your age - no, it is your fitness that counts. If you have children who would like to ride with us, we would still be interested to hear from you.

Coín is a town of approximately 25.000 people and is full of bars, restaurants, shops, banks and chemists etc. The countryside is right on our door step and within 5 minutes on a horse we are heading into the Andalucian countryside.

A:We provide public liability insurance for third parties….however it is a condition of the holiday that you should provide yourself with your own personal riding and accident insurance. A policy for supervised hacking in Europe is normally sufficient. These can be purchased very cheaply and normally last a year. (They will require you to be wearing a riding hat should you make a claim.) You should also have a cancellation insurance. We cannot refund the cost of your holiday if you cancel for personal reasons.
