The weekend is reserved for arrival and departure and we can of course help you with the logistics of travelling to and from the ranch, as well as with planning a stop over in Lisbon or another city.
Trail rides are at all gaits with some steep hills, so confidence outside of an arena is a must.
Depending on your confidence and ability, lessons can include learning to use the garrocha and cow work in the vaquero style of horsemanship.
