Experience the rugged beauty of rural Galicia through the eyes of its most noble inhabitant. Purebred Galician horses are not just a mode of transport; they are a bridge to the area’s landscape and history. This full-day horse riding experience in Galicia provides a beautiful day in the countryside and immersion in the equestrian culture of rural Galicia.
How will you spend your day in the Galician countryside?
Your journey begins at the farm with an introduction to the PRG (Purebred Galician) horses. After an insightful talk on their lineage and an introductory riding lesson to ensure your comfort, you set off on a 3-hour horseback trail. You wind through ancient paths and lush forests, stopping for a traditional snack along the way. The morning concludes with a hearty, local lunch and drinks at a traditional restaurant.
After lunch, the adventure shifts gear. You head out in a 4×4 vehicle for a safari into the highlands to track herds of wild horses in their natural habitat. At various scenic viewpoints, your expert guide leads a fascinating talk on equine ethology. You learn to “read” the social structures and silent language of the herd, observing their behavior far from human intervention. This tour is ideal for visitors who want to enjoy rural Galicia from a local perspective.
Professional, English-speaking guides provide the basics for beginners, so you can enjoy your horseback excursion feeling confident and secure!
