LIVE YOUR WILDEST FRIESIAN DREAM

These wonderful friesian stallions come from a renowned breeding facility. These are not your typical school horses! These young stallions are sweet and well trained, but are also very powerful. For this reason, we can only accept experienced riders. Each person will be matched with a horse according to their level and preference.

There will be a maximum of 8 riders per group.

The weight limit requirement is 100kg

The pricing shown per person is all inclusive for your riding holiday, with the exception of international flights and airport transfers.

The accommodation will depend on the week you are booking:

Option 1: You will be staying at a lovely family hotel by the sea, only a 3-minute drive from the stables and a 5 min walk to the nearby town, San Carlos de la Rapita, which hosts two large marinas, a beach, a market and many shops and restaurants. Each guest will have their own room with a terrace offering sea views. The rooms are equipped with a private bathroom, air conditioning, a TV, and free Wi-Fi. The hotel restaurant provides a buffet breakfast and three-course meals with wine for our guests.

Option 2: You will be staying in charming vacation villas, about a 10-15min drive from the riding center. Depending on the size of the group, you will be staying in different houses. Each house is within walking distance to the beach and has its own swimming pool and gorgeous views. Accommodation is in shared bedrooms (with the option for individual room at extra cost), and bathrooms are shared with 2-3 other persons.

The food is prepared by a chef and delivered to the house each day for you to enjoy a buffet of delicious, organic local food.

Accompanying non-riders: Our guests are welcome to bring along non-riding companions. The price for non-riders is €600 for the retreat dates at the hotel and €800 for the retreat dates at the villa. Please be aware that we may not always guarantee space in the car for non-riders to join trips to the stables.

Day 1 - Friday: ARRIVAL & WELCOME DINNER

Join us as we kick off the adventure on Friday. Arrive for our welcome check-in at 4 PM, and if you're up for it, a rejuvenating yoga session awaits at 5:30 PM. This will prepare your muscles for your first ride the following day. At 8 PM, join us for a kick-off dinner - a meet and greet filled with the opportunity to learn a few Spanish words. Indulge in a delectable dinner featuring locally sourced products.

Day 2 - Saturday:

Begin your day with a nourishing breakfast at the house before meeting the captivating Friesian horses. A transfer will be organized to take you to the stables, where you'll embark on a facility tour and be paired with a horse based on your experience and preferences. Groom, saddle, and bridle your horse- a wonderful opportunity to capture stunning photos if you wish. You will have your first dressage lesson where you will discover the Friesian horses' dynamic power and impressive strides.

After a satisfying lunch, the afternoon springs to life with a second dressage class. Shower your horse after the session and observe others in the group riding. As the day winds down, we'll transport you back to the villa where you will enjoy a well-deserved dinner.

Day 3 - Sunday:

Begin your morning with a hearty breakfast followed by an invigorating dressage class. Post-lunch, enjoy your leisure time - perhaps with a siesta, exploration of the surroundings, or the option to partake in a yoga session. You can also opt for an extra dressage lesson if desired. For added relaxation, consider booking a massage (at an additional cost). The day culminates with a delectable dinner, setting the stage for dreams brimming with excitement for the forthcoming beach ride!

Day 4 - Monday: BEACH RIDE & DEPARTURE

Fuel up with a hearty breakfast before stepping into the enchantment of a beach riding escapade at Delta del Ebro. Experience the exhilaration of cantering down the extensive shoreline, joined by the majestic Friesian stallions (a memory etched forever!). Witness the horses' adoration for the sea as they playfully dip their feet in the water. Once we return the horses to the stables, relish a leisurely lunch before your departure to the airport.

For your convenience, check-out time ranges from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, ensuring a smooth transition for guests catching late afternoon and evening flights.

We recommend you to fly to Barcelona airport (BCN) on the Friday (preferably you can take a flight arriving early afternoon so you can get to the retreat in time for the welcome drinks at 5pm)

You have two options for getting to the hotel once you arrive at the airport:

1. Either rent a car and drive to the hotel in Sant Carles de la Ràpita—it's about a 2-hour drive.

2. Or take a bus directly from the airport terminal to the bus station in Sant Carles de la Ràpita. We can pick you up from the bus station and take you to the hotel. Most people choose this option, but if you prefer more flexibility or plan to explore the area after the retreat, renting a car might be better. 

For the bus option: buses run frequently throughout the day (about every hour). They're very convenient, cost around 20-30 EUR each way, and take approximately 2.5 hours.

We’ve also set up a WhatsApp group for all the guests attending that week. It’s a great way to coordinate logistics, such as sharing a car or taking the same bus.

For the return flight: We recommend booking a late afternoon/evening flight for your return on Monday. Remember, the magical beach ride is in the morning that same day!

For your convenience, check-out time ranges from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM, ensuring a smooth transition for guests.
