"Ride with Me" is run by Kalle Stjernstrom

Kalle started "Ride with Me" in 2001 and the business moved to Rancho Bravo on the Rio Grande in Coin four years ago – since when countless visitors have enjoyed the riding in this beautiful area of Spain.

You can hack out from the Rancho for hours without having to cross tarmac roads or avoid traffic and the variety of terrain allows riding in all but the most extreme weather conditions. If you want a gentle ride you can walk quietly along the river banks watching the wildlife and enjoying unspoiled nature.

For more excitement, there are lots of sandy tracks to follow in canter and open spaces where (ground permitting) you can let the horses gallop. Each season brings something new to wonder at and the views are spectacular all year round.

Kalle, who came originally from Sweden, has worked with horses for most of his life – his first memories are of riding bareback on his uncle's farm – and he has long been interested in the natural horsemanship of Monty Roberts and his followers. He worked as a guide for various companies in different countries before settling in Spain and starting up on his own. Over the years the circumstances and locations have changed but the riding offered has always been very special.

This year we are concentrating on offering exciting riding to experienced riders only and in small groups to maximise enjoyment. We do not take beginners.

Our horses and tack are not suitable for smaller riders so we can't take out children under 12 years and ask that younger riders should have at least three years' riding experience and be at least 145cm in height.

Please be aware that you ride at your own risk (you can arrange your own insurance). You should bring suitable footwear (boots with a heel are best). And bring your own riding hat if you prefer to wear one (though we can lend you one).
