Hacks

Country Riding Centre provides for all levels of riding ability and all ages.No description available.

 

For younger children, we have a beautiful pony walk which passes through the orange and lemon groves, across the streams, passing all types of flowers and interesting things to see along the way.

 

Older children and adults can enjoy a leisurely stroll whilst taking in the surroundings. We have stunning beginner rides which takes you to the top of the Silves hills (Serra de Silves) where you can enjoy panoramic views.

 

For the more experienced riders and those who enjoy a bit of speed, we have different hacks to suit your needs. The medium riders can go for a ride with canter, where experienced riders can ejoy the nature with a nice gallop.

For those that really want to kick back and get away from it all, there is also the option of a half day ride up to the lake, with a picnic included.

There are a variety of lessons to choose from.

 

Beginner lessons starting on the lunge line for young children or the not so confident. Then there are the half hour private lessons, aimed at the confident beginner right through to accomplished rider. No matter how good a rider you think you are, there is a guarantee that you will have developed at least one bad habit along the way, so these lessons are ideal to straighten that out or to perfect your position.

 

We have dressage lessons starting with basic moves and exercises, right through to high class manoeuvres.
Also do showjumping lessons, from first time over a pole to a full course in the larger arena. Experienced riders can have a lesson on one of our school masters.
