Alcainca - Portugal

Riding Holiday

5 star rating   21 June 2026

Rosamund who has been on 4 In The Saddle rides. Intensive and fun to work on new riding skills | I keep coming back to Alcainca for a full on riding experience. The latest Introduction to Working Equitation was no exception. Mario and Ivan break down exercises and build confidence with incredible attention to detail. Each lesson was different and aimed at improving technique. I totally recommend for a huge feeling of achievement and ideas to take home.
