Each of our schools is different. they are in different locations, around the world and offer different types of experiences. some offer horse trekking, some  the horse trekking, others are equestrian centres and offer classes in jumping, riding and dressage. A couple offer very good volunteer programs where you can become more involved with horse care, and general life of working in the stables with horses. Another is based on a small farm, and you can be given total responsibility for looking after a few horses, and exercising them daily. Another is more casual with just some gentle horse riding along the beach three time a week. Some offer two to seven days trekking on the mountains. With all this variety on offer, we want to make sure that you have the best experience for your ability, and your wishes. Here is a a summary of what each school has to offer, and when to go!

Granada, Spain.
This is a  horse riding centre and specialises in riding lessons. There is also jump training. Situated in a small village (20 minutes from your Language school in Granada) right at the beginning of the wonderful snow capped Sierra Nevada. There is also many opportunities for horse trekking on mountain trails. They are not ' follow the leader' horses but are there to be ridden. You can ride all year, but in the winter there can be snow ion the high trials

Costa Tropical
A complete equestrian centre with jumps, dressage riding lessons and many hill trails. With 300 days of sunshine each year this is a perfect European winter or summer destination! You can ride on the beached in winter, but not summer. Riding is five days per week. There is a very supportive staff who are very interested in you also volunteering outside your normal lesson time. This suits both the beginner and the horse mad student!

Venezuela
Merida is a Andean Mountain city of about 300,000. It is a safe and friendly University 'town' Due to its location near the equator, it has a perfect temperature range always being in the mid 20's C (80F). The language school overlooks one of the main Plaza's in the city, and is very centrally located, in the hub of the activity. The school manager owns a small working farm just 30 minutes out of town, set in the stunning mountain.. It is a different world. Here - up at 2200metres (7,000 feet) you have some amazing mountain trails all to yourself. For the first few days the friendly farm hand will show you the trials - after that you have the freedom to go where you wish. This is not a riding centre with 'lessons' but rather a working farm where in a low key way you can look after the horses, and ride the trials. Also several guided 2-4 day horse safaris are available. Good all year round. Suitable for independent 18 years plus.
