For some people horses are a way of making a living, for us horses are a way of life.
Witness the profound connection between horse and rider as you gaze into the eyes of our content and well-cared-for Andalusian horses. Our primary focus lies in the well-being of our horses, and they are treated as cherished individuals rather than mere business assets. Sharing these remarkable animals with our riding guests is a joy and a privilege.
To meet the horses' fundamental needs, we provide ample opportunities for movement, social interaction, continuous access to high-quality hay, and fresh air. Our horses live harmoniously in herds, roaming freely in fields day and night. They revel in the freedom to be true horses, finding peace in their natural environment. During the off-season, they enjoy well-deserved holidays, spending several months in the mountains with minimal human interaction.
Our horses are impeccably trained, displaying sensitivity, enthusiasm, and unwavering trustworthiness. Thanks to their Spanish temperament, comprehensive training, and excellent care, each horse provides a delightfully responsive riding experience. We ride all our horses with bitless bridles, as their responsiveness allows for such a gentle approach. Furthermore, our horses are equipped with high-quality, individually fitted saddles covered with sheepskin, ensuring a secure and comfortable seat for the rider.
Remarkably, our horses navigate all terrains barefoot, even in the mountains. By eschewing horseshoes, we enable them to fully experience the natural sensation of the ground beneath their hooves. This practice contributes to their overall well-being, as horseshoes can often numb the sensation, leading to various leg and back issues. Our horses' bare hooves provide exceptional stability and dexterity, allowing them to confidently traverse the mountainous landscapes.
In our quest to maintain the utmost health and happiness of our horses, we collaborate with a horse osteopath, a horse physiotherapist, and a saddle fitter. Together, we ensure their physical well-being remains in optimal condition.
The herd is always ready and willing to accompany you on your journey through paradise.
We invite you to join us and discover the extraordinary world of Andalusian horses.
