Calm horse rides on Porto Santo Island with trained guides, helmets, and stunning views, suitable for beginners and small groups.
“De gids kon minimaal engels helaas waardoor de communicatie lastig was. Hij hield ons wel goed in de gaten en de paarden waren rustig tijdens de rit. De ondergrond van het hele eiland is erg hard en heeft veel losse stenen dit was voor de paarden erg lastig te lopen. Hierdoor kon ik minder ontspannen rijden en wilde ik alleen stappen omdat de paarden het onprettig leken te vinden en eigen weggetjes koos om het prettiger aan te laten voelen voor hun zelf. Tip voor de manege: regel hoefijzers of iets anders om de straal te beschermen en ongenoegen tegen te gaan”
