The Spaniards have a long equestrian tradition without which we in the Americas might have had to wait a few more hundred years to get horses of our own. Stables are common in the mountains and rural spaces. The horses are sometimes old and haggard; they aren’t intended for competitions or barrel racing, but for leisurely trots through the countryside. The horseman responsible for these stables will rarely rent just one horse and will never send them off without joining along. Solo travelers can often join larger groups or, if the money is right and the season slow, convince the guide to make a private tour.
These guides make their money from tours that may last an afternoon or a week at a time. Trust these men; they know the land and have a pretty good idea of what you’ll want to see. A word of advice, though. On Spain’s flat and arid central plateau, horseback riding often consists of making a loop around a bleak, private ranch. In the valleys and along the fringes of natural parks, by contrast, riding is much more rewarding. Further information is available through the Real Federación Hípica Española.
