We are a few weeks through the lockdown in Spain and the weather in Spain has been pretty awful. So looking at that positively noone could have come riding or enjoyed in really. On the downside that means lots of mud and longer, harder days managing all the horses. Making sure they have their rugs […]
Caroline and a few friends went on their last ride before lockdown. Being without the horses is going to be so hard for all the owners and riders at the Ranch. For a lot of people their horse time is their time out, their head space, their downtime from busy lives. It’s a chance to […]
The Beatles (John, Paul, Ringo and Paul) have settled in really well. They are busy a few times a week on their very special Beatles Bootcamp. This is a chance for some lucky horse lovers to hang out with our fabulous four, groom, bathe, exercise, take for walks, do groundwork, lunge them and get to […]
We have quite a few adult riding classes during the week and weekend for all different levels of rider. If you would like to join one please ask. Every lesson is different every time. During the adult riding classes you will learn basic skills, do pole work, some jumping and bounce lessons if the group […]
Our experienced riders and horse owners went off for a beach and bar ride this week. For some of the horses it was their first or second time on the beach, which is always fun. The sea isn’t tidal here so it is usually in the same place, but it can be noisy on the […]
Look what flew into the Ranch today. Who owns this bird? She must be lost from someone who has spent a lot of time with her (or him!). Very friendly, easy to handle and spent most of the day fluttering from one hand and shoulder or head to another. It flew down to the pista […]
We were absolutely delighted to welcome to the Ranch a very special group from Estepona, visiting us from Aprona. All these wonderful people have differing learning and physical impairments but all came with a lot of giggles, enthusiasm and smiles. They certainly got stuck into the fun things at the Ranch and they all wanted […]
We are pleased to welcome back one of our super talented young riders, Bobbi, with her fast jumping horse Kiko. If you are wanting to know how much you can progress with jumping lessons in Estepona, then this partnership really can show you. Both mum and daughter train and ride on this horse and he’s […]
It is so beautiful in the early Spring and we absolutely love the mountain hacks in Estepona, riding up through the rivers. The views are spectacular, the wildflower carpets are flourishing and it’s just green everywhere. The air is fresh but warm. And we have taken a lot of people up on the mountain trails […]
Great group riding lessons for children this weekend, again, demonstrating some fantastic skills when riding without stirrups. This is something that takes time to master but is vitally important for balance, lengthening the legs and sitting properly in the saddle. And also developing confidence. In the end all this hard work and practice without stirrups […]
