Trails
Short trail
horses and an introduction into the riding style we ride 3 days (approx. 60km) over the Rota and its side paths. The offer includes 3 saddlebag snacks and 2 dinners. Transfers to- and from the ranch are included. This trail is also suitable for inexperienced riders and beginners.
The week long trails we also ride over the Rota Vicentina.
We cover about 150km during the week and therefore this trail is more for experienced horse lovers. We differentiate the weekly trails between:
Bushman Trail
Here we ride with tents and a support vehicle. Accommodation and meals are rustic and simple, which guarantees a direct nature experience.
Star Trail
Here we ride the horses from trail station to trail station and will be brought back to our separately booked accommodation with a shuttle for the overnight stays. If you need something more comfortable and adventurous during your holiday, you will be very satisfied with this offer.
