Horse Riding Holidays in Portugal

One of the oldest countries in Europe, Portugal is a nation rich in history, excellent cuisine, and stunning beaches. As it is home to some of the biggest (and best) waves in the world, surfing enthusiasts may already be quite familiar with this beautiful country.

When you’re short on time or out of vacation days, it doesn’t mean the fun has to stop. In fact, an extended weekend, or even a regular one, can be a great adventure in itself!

Tango, soccer, and polo often spring to mind when thinking of Argentina. While it’s true that they are part of the nation’s identity, horsemanship, estancias, and the gauchos are also an integral part of its culture.

As the country with just as many horses as citizens, Mongolia is a place with a strong equestrian tradition. For Mongolians riding a horse is as popular as riding a bike in the Western world. Mongolian children learn to ride a horse as early as three years old, often becoming jockeys at the age of seven to eight years.
