About us
We are a friendly horse riding centre and animal rescue with a small children’s farm near Lagos, Portugal.
We started by rescuing horses and donkeys and as the number of animals we rescued increased we decided to purchase some wonderful horses and offer horse riding and children’s pony rides to help fund our rescue work and secure the future of our animals.
We offer horse rides from beginner to more advanced riders on hacks/trail rides in the beautiful Algarve countryside escorted by experienced guides.
We provide a fantastic experience for our clients – adults and children alike, whether it’s your child's first time on a pony, a beginner walk ride or you are looking for a faster hack for more experienced riders.
Safety, your satisfaction and the welfare of our horses are our three main considerations.
We hold a Tourism Licence (RNAAT Number 212/2024) and insurance. We are an Association of British Riding Schools (ABRS+) Approved Establishment. Our team are experienced riders and first aid qualified.
Hacks & Trail Rides
All rides are private and you are welcome to book an individual horse ride or with a group of friends. For safety reasons, your group will be limited to the appropriate horse ride for the person with the least experience. If you are a group with mixed horse riding experience, please considering booking separate rides so we can ensure that everyone has a great time.
We offer horse rides during daylight hours, 7 days a week. Between June and August we only ride first thing in the morning or in the evening when it is cooler. This is for the welfare of our horses and frankly, the comfort of our clients, staff and volunteers.
All prices include IVA (VAT) at the current rate of 23%
Hacks / Trail Rides
-
Walk Ride (60 Mins) - €40
The perfect ride for the beginner, riders trying to regain their confidence or just for someone who wants to take it easy! No expectations, just an hour’s ride on one of our beautiful horses around the scenic Algarve countryside. Plenty of opportunities for our guide to take pictures of you!
-
Walk/Trot Ride (60 Mins) - €40
Similar to the Walk Ride although if all members of your party have the ability to do the Rising/Posting Trot then there will be opportunities to trot also. Plenty of opportunities for our guide to take pictures of you!
-
Walk/Trot/Canter (60 mins) - €50
If you have more experience and have cantered on multiple occasions (voluntarily!), how about taking things to the next level with a walk, trot and canter ride in the beautiful Portuguese countryside. It doesn’t get better than blasting up a hill!
-
Walk/Trot/Canter Ride (90 Mins) - €70
Need more than an hour in the saddle? We get it. A lot of our experienced riders prefer more than an hour on a faster ride so how about a 90 minute walk, trot, canter hack?
Children’s Rides
-
Pony Ride (15 Mins) - €15
Perfect little pony ride for children who haven’t ridden before or those who may not want to spend too long in the saddle! A walk around the farm on a pony while looking at the goats, mini pigs, donkeys and other horses as we go. A great photo or video opportunity!
-
Children's Ride (30 Mins) - €25
Perfect pony ride for slightly older children who have ridden before and will happily stay in the saddle all day! A longer walk round the farm or out in the country being led by one of our team. Also makes a lovely walk for the rest of the family. Great photo or video opportunity!
