One Week of Horseback Adventure in Nature
This offer applies to riding holidays with a one-week stay, including accommodation (without meals). You will stay in acozy lodge, located directly at the riding stable.
During the first few days, you will get used to your horse and take part in riding lessons in the arena as well as shorter trail rides (approxomately 3 hours daily) to assess and, if necessary, improve your riding skills. During this time, you will get to know your horse better and build mutual trust. In the following days, you will explore the surrounding area on horseback during longer trail rides.
The highlight of the week is a grand final ride, where you can choose between two options:

Instructors
Alina Schneider
Alina runs a small riding farm on her family property in the West Algarve. Her connection to horses began at an early age. While other children were taking their first steps, her first "steps" took her on a horse. Even then she felt comfortable on their back and experienced the world from a new perspective. Over time, her passion for riding developed and she became a skilled rider. For her, riding is more than just a sport; it is a form of communication, an intimate dance between her and the horses. She has now turned her passion into a career and have also completed various training courses.
