COSTA BLANCA HORSE RIDING

Imagine horse riding along nature trails, sandy beaches, salt lakes, pine forests, lemon and orange groves. All this can be done on the Costa Blanca where you hire magnificent Andalucian or Hispano-Arab horses from local stables.

Nothing can beat the excitement of galloping along the empty beaches and surf with the sea air blowing in your face. It is an exhilarating experience that should not be missed by anyone with a taste for the adventurous and a lust for the outdoor life.

The Costa Blanca has an abundance of natural beauty and what better way to see this than on the back of a powerful Spanish horse. The Costa Blanca has a range of stables inland and on the coast that provide riding lessons for beginners and for more experienced riders.

Stables are open all year round and they have a range of facilities available where you can stay overnight on the longer treks or you can simple pay per hour. With prices from only 20-Euros per hour it's a great way to get closer to nature and to meet new friends.

Many of the stables have an indoor school where you can learn the art of horse riding before you hit the trails. The cost of the indoor school tuition is around 15-Euros per hour. This is a great way to understand the behavior of the horse and to learn the simple commands that you will need when you hit the trails.

When the instructors consider you are competent enough then you can take to the trails in small groups. A little more practice and you will be galloping across the Costa Blanca sands in no time at all.
