Andalucia is the home of horses in art, pure bred Andalusian horses are highly sought after for their unique qualities. They are elegant with a high head carriage, wide forehead, short arched neck and have a silky flowing mane.
Horse-riding holidays in Andalucia are a great choice for horse lovers and they are becoming more popular. Which is excellent news for the rider because the standard, quality and availability of riding schools is getting better all the time.
Close to Loma la Parra and La Majada Alta and just a short drive from El Valle de Abdalajis in the direction of Antequera you will find the famous Wolf Park . This is run by Daniel Wiegard and Alexandra Stieler with their international team which includes two English ladies.
The wolf park is a fascinating and entertaining visit and horses are available to hire. Very short rides of only 10 minutes are possible with half an hour costing only 10 Euros. You could also book a course of 6 or 12 lessons if your holiday permits.
Daniel and Alex can be contacted by e.mail info@lobopark.com and their web site is www.lobopark.com
Driving for 20 minutes the other way towards Álora will bring you to the Summer Breeze Stables run by the very professional and competent, BHSAI qualified, Louisa.
