Horse riding holidays and trail rides in Europe

Riding holidays in Europe offer many different experiences: tolting across the lava fields of Iceland or learning high school dressage movements in Spain or Portugal; trail rides through vineyards in France or mountains in Spain; beach rides in Menorca or riding trails through snow in Finland. There are a multitude of horses to discover too - characterful Icelandics, athletic Lusitano's, expressive Andalucians and laid-back Haflingers to name just a few... Whether you want to relax in one place, move on every night or camp in remote locations, there is a riding holiday in Europe to suit everyone.

    An expensive riding holiday with not enough riding and nothing else really included.

  • Epona - High School Classical Dressage
    March 2025 Lesley aged 69
    As usual, Epona was my home from home but considering how often I go there, isn't surprising. Excellent horses, amazing teaching from Vivi and Rafael Soto. I might be getting old but still so much fun and joy from spending time in Carmona and at Epona. 10 stars to Epona for everything
