Western riding and natural horsemanship clinics

If you are looking to enhance your horsemanship techniques, Rancho Gaudalteba is the perfect riding holiday location. Roy French offers equestrian training in a variety of disciplines using natural pressure and release methods, starting in the Round Pen.

Roy teaches how to start your horse in the round pen and gradually build up a unique understanding between horse and rider through trust, enabling you to do amazing things with your horse that you may never have previously thought possible. With the correct grounding & tuition from the very start it is possible to control your horse with minimum effort, maximum result.

Non riders are welcome amongst a group as there is also a host of daily activities in the area such as walking, bird watching and the Andalucian white villages to be discovered.
