Horse Holidays France regularly organizes trail rides for several days.

This year, in October, we are organizing a trip in Portugal, Golega, which is divided into 2 parts: 3 days of lessons followed by 3 days of trail ride, on magnificent, very well-trained Lusitano horses.

The Lusitanian, born in Portugal, is a horse with a nice character, with beautiful gaits and who learns quickly. It is particularly suitable for working equitation, which is a discipline on its own, an equestrian activity practiced in many countries, in Europe, Asia, North and South America.

It consists of 3 parts: a dressage test, a handling test and a sorting or herding test.

On this program you will have dressage lessons, you will stay in beautiful typical Portuguese farmhouses and during the trail ride you will see magnificent landscapes, from vineyards to beautiful stretches of water and you will spend a night in the cradle of this Portuguese breed, with M.Veiga who is an internationally renowned rider.

An unforgettable week to spend with Horse Holidays France.
