Spain is a must visit destination when it comes to riding holidays. With it’s varied terrain and landscapes and the opportunity to explore old medieval villages, it’s a country that leaves you feeling sun soaked and fulfilled. The operators we work with have mainly Andalusian and Hispano - Arab horses, some bred at home, who are beautifully trained, a delight to ride and the real highlight of every holiday. Riding holidays in Spain also tend to be on the more inexpensive side, making them a great option for anyone wanting an escape that doesn’t break the bank.
