How we prepare our horses before each ride: well-being and confidence on every route

At our equestrian tourism center in Alt Empordà, each horseback riding tour begins long before the riders even climb into the saddle. Horse training is an essential part of our daily routine, because we understand that The animal's well-being is the basis of a safe, respectful and memorable experience.

Whether you come for a leisurely ride or choose a long five-hour route, you can rest assured that our horses have been cared for, trained and prepared with attention.


Horse selection according to the rider

Before riding, we assess each person's experience: whether it's their first time or if they're a regular rider. From there, We assign the most suitable horse according to your character, pace and sensitivity.

Our team knows each horse perfectly, and this bond allows us to choose the ideal companion for each route:

  • For those looking for a relaxing and safe ride.
  • For experienced riders who want more pace and range.

Daily check-up and proper equipment

Before each departure:

  • The horse's physical condition is checked (wounds, legs, hooves, energy).
  • It is carefully cleaned and brushed so that the saddle fits well and the animal is comfortable.
  • High quality frames adapted to each morphology are placed, and all the accessories fit the details (girths, headstalls, reins, protectors if necessary).

In addition, on long routes we include bottle cages and lightweight panniers, which are also adjusted so that they do not bother or overload the horse.


Warm-up and bonding with the guide

Each horse walks and moves before the exit to ease into the activity without stress. Our equestrian guides take advantage of this time to observe your behavior and ensure you're in optimal condition.

It is also the moment when horse and rider begin to create a small bond, calmly and confidently, before setting off on the road.


Our commitment: first the horse, then the adventure

Our philosophy is clear: First the horse, then the sportAnd that's reflected in everything we do: in the way we work, in the attention we pay to every detail, and in how each equestrian day is experienced.

Horseback riding in Girona, in a rural setting like ours, should be a pleasure for both the rider and the horse. That's why we take care of every aspect from the very beginning.
