This tour is a perfect opportunity to improve your dressage skills in a fabulous region of Portugal. You will ride purebred Lusitano horses, one of the “jewel of the crown” when you speak about special horses. In addition to the lessons, you'll get an opportunity to explore the Medieval parts of the region, like Santarém and Óbidos. The program is very relaxing and still entertaining. Ribatejo's combination of cultural traditions, natural beauty, agricultural richness and historical heritage make it a very diverse region in Portugal.

The dates are set approximately, for further info please contact us.

The availability of all programs and schedules is subject to weather conditions. If unfavorable or unforeseen weather conditions arise, efforts will be made to offer comparable riding experiences. The team may adjust or alter the plans but will strive to provide a similar experience.

The farm is a traditional Portuguese house, built in the early 1900 and recently restored. Although in essence maintaining the original features, the house is equipped with all modern comforts that enable visitors pleasant moments of leisure.

    I am grateful to Maria, for welcoming me into her home and sharing her expertise. Her beautiful.home and barn provided the perfect ending to my first trip to Portugal. The exceptional horses and effective training techniques elevated my riding skills to a new level. Thanks to the experience at Maria's place, I made significant progress when I returned home.
