Trekking Out in the Countrysite
Due to the unique location of our stables, we have the most fantastic rides with direct access straight out onto many different bridleways, with not riding on any roads at all, amongst the wildlife and fauna. Our famous mountain trek provides a unique birds eye view of the surrounding areas in the South of Tenerife.
The treks that we provide are suitable for children from the age of 4 to adults, We can cater from absolute beginners, up to expert riders, you can choose to ride for 1hr, 1½ hrs and 2 hours, we have 2 rides a day the first one at 10am and then again at 4pm, we dont ride mid day when its hot and we feed them mid day as well.
There are a variety of treks for everyone, with easier routes available for beginners and nervous riders, these mainly consist of walk, Intermediate riders, we have the treks with mainly walk and where is suitable we have a trot and for the more advanced riders only, we go on faster routes with trot and canter in the areas suitable and ride higher up into the hills.
All our prices are very competitive, giving you value for money. As we are a small family run stables, it is our priority to make sure that we provide the best service for all our clients, all our horses are very well schooled giving you confidence .
We ride out in small groups, making sure that we cater for all your needs giving you that unforgettable experience. Along the way we take photos of your experience which can then be found on our Facebook site for you to access if this is ok with yourselves, if not we can pass them to you via whats app, this is a free service that we offer.
Once we have introduced you to your Horse or Pony, we spend a little time in the arena, so you get familiar and gain confidence with your horse before we set off on the trek.
When booking your trek it is important that we prepare the correct horses for you to ride, so we need to know your exact level of riding, please be honest and truthfull about your riding levels (if you are a beginner, Intermediate, you can trot comfortably without holding onto the saddle or experienced rider and 100% confident in canter as we dont mix the level of experiences), heights and weights, as we do have a weight limit for each horse and we have different horses for different levels of riding.
Our weight limit is 16.5st/104kg or 231Ibs.
Our buisest times of year are Easter, July, August, October half term and Christmas and New Year, so it highly advisable to book at least 2 weeks or more in advance, as we get booked up very quickly.
If we get a group of mixed levels then we normally ride to the level of the lowest ability rider as there may be others on the same trek, unless you would like to book the private trek, for a extra small cost, where the advanced rider can hold back where it is suitable to have a trot or small canter to catch up, this is only available to adult advanced riders that have plenty of riding experience, please let us know if you would like this option, when you reserve your trek with us (this is not a option for the intermediate riders). The private treks can be booked for different reasons, for the advanced rider to go a little faster, for a special occasion and with COVID people are booking this , so they are not mixing with different people, when booking please let us know the reason for the private trek. For beginners or people that haven´t ridden for a long time we recommend the 1hr or 1,5hr trek. Children aged 10 and under we only offer the 1hr trek, as we do not walk alongside helping on the longer treks and the longer treks are not suitable for the younger children. . All our treks ride up into the hills so if you are afraid of heights you must inform us when booking. As for clothing we recommend that you have leggings, trousers or long shorts and trainers, please no flip flops, water shoes, crocs or sandals. We have a small selection of boots to borrow along with a good range of helmets which have to be worn at all times.
For large groups you do need to book in advance and also if there are children that need leading on a lead rope, we need to make sure we have enough staff on and Private Treks are available on request.
