Portugal is well known for its equestrian tradition and its Lusitano horses with a high level of Portuguese dressage instruction.
Portugal also offers a wide variety of landscapes for superb horseback trail rides !
We have selected a professional equestrian trail ride provider to discover the wild landscapes of the Northern Portugal: in a Portugal that remains authentic, far from the tourist crowds ! And an equestrian stay with horseback riding in the paradise island of the Azores.
We do not offer trail riding in the Alentejo: a region of Portugal that is too touristy, and we have not reached an agreement with the main horse trekking provider in the region.
