Great riding experience at the ocean - Claudia and Diane both were excellent and very friendly guides and teachers. I did two rides with my daughter. Me: zero riding experience; my daughter with a bit of experience. We rode along the shore and partially on the beach where my daughter enjoyed also riding at higher velocity. The landscape is rather rough, cliffy and wild. A true Atlantic experience. The stable is located up in the village and not spectacular. However, Claudia and her team host several very well educated horses there, alongside several friendly dogs, cats and a mini pony. We loved it.

Amazing ride, beautiful views, and wonderful horses and guides. - This is an amazing experience! The horses are well behaved (most of them). Our guides Diana and Laura were professional, polite, and fun. The owner (Claudia) was no nonsense, but kind and obviously loves her work. The scenary during the ride along the coast was breathtaking. Highly recommended!

Fantastic riding experience - This is a fantastic riding experience. Diana our guide was brilliant. She matched us really well with our horses and got the balance between safety and allowing us to ride just right. The horses are excellent, responsive and safe. I’m a nervous rider after a serious accident a few years ago and this ride reminded me of why I used to enjoy riding. Thoroughly recommend this experience.

Great horseback riding trip along the beach and the ocean. - In the summer season, you can't ride horses onto the beach. During the ride, there was a gallop and time to talk with the guide. You can choose a ride with a city tour. The horses are well-groomed. I highly recommend the trip!

Great sunny riding trip around Viana do Castelo - It was a really great tour in the fields, near to the beach with very beautiful horses and a nice and very friendly riding guide. Me and my friend could really enjoy this summer day together with the horses Emily and Vialto. Many thanks for this amazing experience.

A dream experience - This was a totally magical experience. Claudia knows her horses well and is patient with showing me how to handle mine. We walked, trotted, and galloped through the meadows, on country lanes, roman roads, and the beach with the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop. I couldn't have asked for more! Highly recommend!
