Debbie was a great ride leader and a pleasure to ride out with. Sociable, good company but professional and safety conscious. Due to the heavy rain which Andalucia has had all through the winter there has been some impact on the terrain (obviously)and so this had to be taken into consideration when pacing the ride. The grooms were also excellent, professional and friendly and a pleasure to ride out with.

Beautiful, well-cared for, well-mannered and responsive horses. Possibly the nicest horses I've ridden out on a trail. A lot of hard work and effort (and love!)has gone into those horses. A wrench to say goodbye.

Inspite of it raining a fair amount whilst we were there, we were lucky to only get once on one of our rides and that was only a heavy shower. The other wet day we spent in Jerez at the riding school and drinking sherry.....

I don't think the ride could be improved, it was everything we thought it would be. It is not for beginners and it does state pretty clearly in the information that you need to be able to ride, so as long as you can do this, you will enjoy it! It would be nice at the Finca to have a guest lounge, as in the cooler winter evenings it's not really warm enough to sit out. Somewhere to chill out and have a drink before dinner when it's dark in the evening would be nice. Obviously you can sit in your room but if there are other guests it would be nice to be sociable.

As an intermediate rider I found the rides fun but certainly wasn't taken out of my comfort zone. Canters were always on tracks (apart from the beach) so I don't think this is a demanding ride at all. We had some canters on windy tracks through the trees which was great fun and the beach was great. Of course the horses get excited on the beach (who wouldn't!!) but they were very well behaved considering there excitement! We had a great ride on the beach.
