July 25th to 28th

August 8th to 10th

"Galloping Holidays" is a weekly program (Tuesday to Friday) aimed at children and young people aged 7 to 14, organized into groups, based on outdoor riding activities, with the aim of providing participants with the development of their potential, teaching behavioral patterns such as: "helping, accepting help, accepting one's own limitations, and respecting the limitations of others."

In challenging times, we must find ways to stimulate responsibility, mutual aid, and resilience in our young people through varied activities and, whenever possible, outdoors. Horses develop these and other characteristics, such as affection, sociability, among others.
