Enjoy an unforgettable family experience surrounded by nature, horses, and fresh air.
When we look for family activities, we want something that's fun, educational, and safe for the little ones. And if it also allows us to be outdoors, learn about animals, and unwind from screens, even better!
At our equestrian tourism center in Alt Empordà, we offer a perfect plan to enjoy with children: a day with horses Surrounded by nature and tranquility. An experience that children love... and adults will love.
1. Horseback riding routes adapted to the little ones
We know that riding a horse for the first time can be exciting… and also awe-inspiring. That's why our family rides are specially designed for:
- Children from 6 years old (accompanied by an adult).
- Calm rhythms and very docile horses.
- Close accompaniment by our guides.
Little ones can ride on calm ponies or horses adapted to their size and skill level, all in a safe and controlled environment.
2. First contact with horses: respect and trust
Before getting on the horse, children have the opportunity to:
- Get to know the animal: greet it, pet it, give it confidence.
- Learn the basics of how to treat and care for a horse.
- See that it's not just about riding, but about be related with a living being.
This first contact is key to building trust, respect, and an emotional connection that many children never forget.
3. Benefits of horse riding for children
In addition to being a fun activity, horseback riding provides multiple benefits for children's development:
- Improves balance, coordination and posture.
- Reinforcement of self-esteem and self-confidence.
- Promoting responsibility and empathy towards animals.
All this while enjoying the countryside, without rushing or digital distractions.
4. A full day: countryside, animals and games
In addition to the horseback riding routes, we suggest spending a full day in contact with rural life:
- Free time to explore nature.
- Outdoor picnic in our designated space.
- Traditional games and activities in the countryside.
- Possibility of visiting nearby charming towns.
The goal is for you to experience an authentic, educational, and fun family experience together.
