Bitless & Barefoot Trail Riding
Available April to October
"The horses are beautiful, the rides on the trails offered magnificent views, and were suitable for established riders and novices."
Our relaxing rides in the stunning mountain scenery are truly a magical experience. (we only offer riding for our holiday guests)
Many repeat guests claim that the riding here at Cortijo Los Lobos is hard to beat for terrain and views. We have open fields, cool shady pine forests, olive groves and streams. The horses are kind and sure footed. The length of ride depends on the rider’s ability and the time of year. Rides of 2 hours are the maximum.
The horses welfare comes first and as they are getting older, we are constantly fine tuning their workload to meet their changing needs.
We incorporate lots of non ridden courses to add interest to their lives while at the same time providing an enjoyable and educational experience for the guests. There is also the option to take a horse for a walk, a relaxing and mutually rewarding experience for you and the horse. Guests love to just be with the horses, and say that watching them in the paddocks is relaxing, even if they aren't ‘horsey’.
