Our Rides
We offer a wide variety of riding opportunities and are happy to discuss your preferences when you book with us. To whet your appetite, here are a few of our most popular treks.
Rio Grande Tour
Available all year round, morning or evening (approx 2 hours). A wonderful introduction to the countryside around Rancho Bravo.
COST: 50 euros per person
White Village Tour
A half-day ride (approx. 4 hours) along the river, through rolling countryside with endless views stopping at a local Spanish village where we take a break at a small bar. Here you can dismount to buy tapas and drinks before setting off back to the ranch using different trails.
COST: 80 euros per person (minimum of two people)
SPECIAL JANUARY OFFER
For short time only we are offering the White Village Tour at the fantastic price of just 50 Euros (minimum of two riders).
Full Day Trek (approx. 6/7 hours)
A chance to go even further afield into the stunning countryside and nearer to those beautiful Spanish mountain ranges. Out in the campo you never know what you might come across, so bring the camera. The scenery will be spectacular in any direction. You can bring your own lunch (we provide saddlebags) or we can call for tapas and drinks at a local village – or we can combine both options.
COST: 120 euros per person (minimum of 2 people)
Sunset Tour
At certain times of the year the sunsets are particularly spectacular in this part of Spain and we organise an evening ride to a viewpoint to make the most of it. This ride lasts about two hours and you can watch the light changing through reds and golds with amazing charcoal grey and black cloud formations – don't forget the camera!
COST: 50 euros per person
Read what one satisified customer had to say:
"Riding out from Rancho Bravo in early May is truly magical. Springtime in this part of Southern Spain is spectacular and being on horseback among the swathes of flowers is unforgettable. Scarlet poppies run riot with deep gold and white daisies, dark crimson vetchling straggles across the tall white weeds, the edges of the Rio Grande are thick with dark green water plants. The colours sparkle and reflect in the clear running water. As we criss-cross through the water white egrets flap up, tiny birds quarrel in the rustling bamboo, hooves splash on the pebbles – riding through the river is a treat not to be missed, even if you do get a shower in the process! Then we canter along the dirt tracks under the dappled shade of the swaying eucalyptus trees, hoof beats resonating on the dry earth, tack jingling. And all at once Kalle leads us away from the water and the horses are climbing higher, up a steep slope and on to the open space and shorter grass of rolling hillsides. I never cease to marvel at the sure footedness of the Andalucian horses, their calm acceptance of any terrain and their willingness to walk out. The views from here are truly breathtaking in the clear air, you feel literally on top of the world."
