Activities with horses are what define our identity.
During last fifteen years we have been organizing programs of riding routes in different parts of the Catalan geography.
Currently, for our guests and anyone that you want, with previous reservation,
we organize excursions of half and full day.
We also offer our Club Vallmajor eqüestre,
an attractive proposal for the true lovers of horses.

Perhaps some time you have desired to have an own horse but having to devote much time and the cost mean did you forget this desire.
It is possible you don’t ride horses regularly because you have not found the site where have a certain freedom or because it is an excessive economic burden.
We open the doors of the "Club Vallmajor eqüestre" to provide solutions to your dream.
We propose you to be part of this unique club, which means that with a monthly fixed fee you can ride our horses whenever you have availability, at the same time, we will offer with regard to available material and itineraries that you can use.
The objective is that you became an autonomous rider and can go walk horse in the mountains and mount regularly in your free time available.
We have good horses, good material and experience. If you want to use that, put you in touch with us.
For the guests of Vallmajor eqüestre and for all who wish to participate,
we organize half day routes adapted to all riding levels. We also organize
full day riding routes reserved only to confirmed riders.
Booking for these activities must be made in advance.
On all routes the riders take care and help prepare the horses, receiving

Our continuing philosophy is love, care and respect for our horses.
We try to create interest while offering our knowledge and experience. This
is why the preparation of the horses and all the necessary information forms
a part of each one of the activities, whether the activity involves first
time or experienced riders.
We like mentally balanced country horses, and we use this criteria when we select our horses, independent of breed.
The majority of our horses are a mix of Spanish and French breeds; we also
have some Arab and Quarter Horse.
We try to ensure that our horses are of medium height, as
tall horses adapt badly to mountain paths.
The horses live together in the fields and pastures around the house all year
round, which is why they are well adapted to nature, to variable
weather conditions and to life in an equine society, with all its roles, games
and hierarchies.
They are of course stress-free animals, and they love eating the fresh grass
of the mountains. They are fine traveling companions, being both reliable
and safe. We ride them calmly and naturally, and most of the time with long
reins.
We use very good quality saddles, as used by the military for distance riding but actualized, each one is perfectly adapted to its mount and all have been put together with the comfort of both rider and horse in mind.
Accessories (light, resistant saddlebags, cruppers and breast plates) are
also important to provide safety and comfort on long routes.
We have officially approved riding helmets available.
