Experience nature at the pace of horses

Horseback riding trips, trail rides, and lodging

in stunning Portuguese landscapes

Nestled between the Aveiro lagoon and the Atlantic coast, we offer horseback riding through wild beaches, dunes, and forest trails in Northern Portugal — for first-time riders and experienced equestrians alike.

Our horses live free as a herd in open paddocks, not stabled, cared for with the same attention we bring to every ride, so you’re always partnered with a calm, well-cared-for horse.

Beyond the ride, we invite you to slow down — with wellness treatments to restore body and mind, and stays ranging from off-grid cabins and tents (including a summer surfcamp) to our full-equipped studio overlooking the lagoon.
