Portugal

Would you like to improve your riding skills whilst enjoying the sunshine? Then Portugal is the perfect destination for you. You’ll ride lovely, well-trained horses and, of course, you’ll also have the chance to ride a Lusitano – the famous Portuguese breed. You’ll have lessons twice a day, such as dressage, show jumping or working equitation. Everything is tailored to your preferences and your level, so whether you’re a beginner or a bit more advanced, it’s always a good fit. Lessons are in English and are taught by experienced instructors. The horses can do absolutely everything, from Spanish walks and flying changes to half-passes and yielding. In between lessons, you can relax by the pool (from May to October), go for a walk in the surrounding area or simply watch others’ lessons. And best of all: all meals are included, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.

This trip is all about riding lovely, well-trained horses. You’ll switch between different horses, which means you’ll learn something new every time. What did I enjoy most? Riding such a well-trained horse really helps you improve. When I got back on my own horse afterwards, I immediately noticed a difference in how it felt and in my technique. You can also go on trail rides (at a walk only), which are ideal if you want to take it a bit easier and simply enjoy the surroundings.

Thursday

You usually arrive on Thursday. There are several ways to get to the accommodation: by rental car, by taxi from Lisbon airport, or as I did: by train to Abrantes and from there picked up by car. Need help arranging transport? Feel free to let me know! It's best to arrive around 15:00, so you can have your first lesson right away.

Friday

Today you will have a morning and afternoon lesson. The exact times and type of lesson (dressage, jumping, hacking, etc.) will be agreed with the instructor the evening before. Of course, breakfast, lunch and dinner are included, with options for vegetarians and other dietary requirements.

Saturday

Today you will have a morning and afternoon lesson. The exact times and type of lesson (dressage, jumping, hacking, etc.) will be agreed with the instructor the evening before. Of course, breakfast, lunch and dinner are included, with options for vegetarians and other dietary requirements.

Sunday

No more lessons today - after one last night's sleep, it's time to say goodbye. Did you arrive after 16:00 on Thursday and missed a lesson? Then you can make up your fifth lesson this morning by mutual agreement. Would you rather stay a little longer and not go home right away? No problem! Send me a message and I will see what is possible

Accommodation

You sleep in a spacious room with private bathroom, wifi and TV. From your room it is a 5-10 minute walk to the stables - be careful, it is a hill! You first walk down to your lesson and then up again afterwards.
