This was a great place for us to start our horse riding instruction. After an initial assessment of our riding skills, a schedule was tailor made for us which involved 2 x one hour lessons each day. The instructors were very patient with us and great fun, but extremely professional and they were keen to keep us improving each lesson. We started out extremely nervous complete beginners, but by day four, just as the sun was rising, we were part of a small group hack meandering through olive groves with the misty mountains in the distance - beautiful! In between times, we relaxed around the pool. You can also cycle to nearby Mollina village for a beer. The owners organised picnic and drove us beginners (the experienced riders met us half way through their hack), but this was not an ordinary picnic! There was a long table dressed with a table cloth, comfy chairs, roasted veg lasagne, fresh salad and fruit and a choice of wine/water/soft drinks, even tea/coffee! It was so great to all be together and chat about our progress and having a laugh!. That same day, the owners took us into the main town of Antequera for an opportunity to browse and have a night out (they collected us at 10pm). We have met lovely folks, some travelling alone or with their teenage children, from numerous counties around the world. This is one of the best short breaks we've had and we look forward to going back again to Hacienda Horses again soon!
