Equestrian Escapes says
We are dedicated horse-lovers, offering a range of horse-riding short breaks throughout the UK and Europe for all levels from total beginners to more experienced riders.
Our unique packages can be tailor-made to suit your exact requirements whether you are travelling on your own, as a couple, with your children or a group of friends. We provide top quality horses and tack - or you can choose to bring your own horse on some breaks.
In the UK, we offer riding breaks in Wales, Cheshire, Berkshire, Cornwall, the Yorkshire Dales, and Bournemouth. Options include dressage instruction, family weekends, beach rides, pony trekking and trail riding. One of the most popular breaks is the two-night Horses and Chocolate weekend in Tarporley, Cheshire, which combines two of our favourite indulgences.
For those wanting a short break with guaranteed sunshine we have weekend and midweek breaks in Tuscany, staying in a fairytale castle, or in Andalucia, riding on the beach or in the mountains.
Jerez is the capital of the horse in Europe and there we offer the chance to visit The Royal Riding School and The National Stud Farm along with, of course, the opportunity to ride beautiful Andalucian horses. Add in some flamenco and a wine tasting at one of Jerez’s many Bodegas for a short break with a difference.
