About Us
Connect with horses and nature!
Trust, patience and respect are at the core of our project and work.
Our project is home to rescue horses, providing them with a soft landing and a brighter future. Horses are family to us and we treat them as such.
The horses are the heart of the project, so all activities are tailored to their wellbeing.
Unforgettable horse experiences
Discover our diverse range of equestrian experiences, which focus on quality and guest satisfaction.
Riding Lessons
We offer riding lessons for kids and adults, from 5 years of age.
The private lessons are designed to create a safe, fun, focused way of learning, in a one-on-one setting.
Between Natural Horsemanship and Classical Training, we always look for the right approach for each horse, rider and situation.
We believe that learning should be fun and engaging, pushing gently out of comfort zones whilst maintaining that feeling of trust and balance.
Trailrides
Our Trailrides through the beautiful hills, vineyards and forests of the Penedès wine region are a wonderful way to enjoy nature on horseback.
We offer trailrides for all levels of riding experience, from 7 years of age.
We have very calm, beginner-proof horses that will look after you, as well as the more sporty types for advanced riders.
All trailrides are guided.
Horses and Wine in the Penedès Wine Region
We organize Horseback Wine Tours to the nearby organic Winery Finca Viladellops.
Enjoy a trailride in our beautiful countryside, through vineyards and forests, and indulge in some of the best organic wines of our region.
Riding Holidays
For our Riding Holiday Programme, we partner up with a range of local accommodation providers, from rustic to high-end.
When it comes to your riding schedule, we are also very flexible.
