This unique hacienda is
situated in the heart of a beautiful part of
Southern Andalusia, just a few kilometers from
Arcos de la Frontera, and offers riding holidays
and training for beginners and advanced riders
alike with emphasis on Spanish Dressage or Doma
Vaquera or Natural Horsemanship or Western
Clinics, but you can also learn more in
Classical Dressage if you prefer.
This is a
first-class training center for Spanish riding (Doma
Vaquera), and it has been famous for a long time
for its outstanding training in Western
disciplines. The horses are of a quality rarely
found. The training is designed for riders that
want to either fine tune their Western
competition riding or learn more about the
origins of the Spanish riding with its long
history in dressage and the working
vaquero.

Doma
Vaquera & Spanish Dressage
Doma Vaquera
is Spain's oldest art of riding. This riding
technique is used when working with cattle or
bulls, the so called "toros bravos". A very well
trained horse is needed for this riding style;
riding with weight distribution and thigh
pressure with little bridle. Most suited are
mixed breeds, such as Anglo-Hispano and
Hispano-Anglo-Arabians. This riding style
requires a high degree of discipline and
connection to the horse. It can be compared to
S-level Dressage and riders should have good
prior riding experience. Doma Vaquera training
sessions are offered to advanced riders only.
The daily 2- hour lessons are held in small
groups (3-4 participants) and are combined with
a full day ride into the countryside.
Western Riding
There are 3 different courses in Western Riding
a. Introductory course for beginners and
newcomers.
b. Western course for
intermediate riders
c. Specialized courses:
reining, cutting, working cowhorse.
Of
course trail riding is always available for nice
daily outings. We even offer a 3 day overnight
trail ride into the Sierra de Grazalema (one
night camping) and then to the wide open beaches
of the Atlantic for some nice long canters and
comfortable overnights in beach hotels.
No riding on Thursday.
Lodging and meals
The hacienda accommodates 16 guests in private
comfortable rooms .
Gourmets not only get
treated with the diverse Spanish specialties,
but also with delicious and original meals from
all over the world, from Arabian Couscous over
to Flemish to the French Bouillabaisse. The
whole year over the ranch has fresh vegetables
out of their organic garden and meat from the
completely natural living herds of sheep and
cattle.
Even non-riders can enjoy themselves
here. There is a saltwater swimming pool and
biking, as well as seminars in Natural Healing,
Hatha-Yoga, Taiji, as well as Spanish language
courses.
Note: Between 9 and 10
o'clock we will serve you a full breakfast. At
lunchtime you'll find a variety of diverse
specialties and a salad bar, including cool
drinks. At Teatime there will be coffee, tea and
cakes. In the evening we will serve you
delicious meals with wine and dessert.
Thursdays is a day of
rest on the Hacienda. On this day you'll have
the opportunity, to experience the Classical
Spanish Dressage in the Riding school of the
Castlepark "Las Cadenas" in Jerez.
