In our week-long courses, you will learn a whole new way to connect to horses, both from the ground and in the saddle. The course format allows our guests to combine leisure and learning. The two different types of courses allow for different riding levels, from complete beginner to highly experienced rider, to learn.
Foundation Course
The Foundation Course provides what the name promises: a solid foundation of horsemanship and riding skills for beginners, nervous riders, or those restarting. If you want to learn correctly from the very first moment, this is your course.
Candid Equitation Week
Only for the experienced rider, Lysette offers a week of intense trail riding and horsemanship. If you are confident in all three gaits and would love an amazing experience, this is for you.
Dates & Prices
On our ranch, we teach horse-friendly riding in week-long courses, which allow our guests to combine leisure and learning. Especially in spring and fall, the climate in Portugal is very favorable to outdoor activities.
The courses
The courses are good for beginners, riders who want to learn Western riding or a more horse-friendly approach to riding in general, people who are interested in Natural Horsemanship, or riders who want to get over a fall or other accident. Our focus is always on a trusting relationship between horse and rider.
