Spain is a treasure-trove of arts and culture
brimming with fabulous flamenco, music, history,
bullfighting and fiestas! It is drenched in the
historical pageantry of empire and conquistadores,
the artistic legacy of Goya, Velázquez, Picasso and
Dalí, and the romance of Don Quijote, Papa Hemingway
and the International Brigades.
Spain is not only the
country of sun, ocean and Sherry - Spain
is horse country! The purebred
Andalusian horse is a symbol for
Spanish culture and pride. They are
tough, spirited and have lots of
stamina, but are also gentle and easy to
ride. The horse has always played an
important role in Spain's rich history -
during the expulsion of the Moors or the
conquest of Spanish America - and it
still does Ride along the many
thousand miles of cattle trails, through
peaceful and lush green forests, across
wide open beaches and seemingly endless
pastures still used for grazing bulls.
Spain offers a great variety of
differing landscapes: from the mountains
of the northern Pyrenees in Catalonia
and the almost untouched Nature Parks of
Castile to the rural, lively Andalusia,
where still today you find the typical
Spanish pub, the Venta.
Stop for a visit,
enjoy a Sherry and as the rider of this
wonderful horse breed become part of
this fascinating landscape and culture.
