Description
Horses!!! We have 8 horses that you must love, have confidence with and confident to ride. Yes we have lots of chicken, peacock, ducks, rabbits and dogs but horses are the biggest part of our day. We live in a beautiful area called Freila in Andalucia. A true Spanish village.
English speaking family but established here in Freila. Walking distance to the village bars and the beautiful swimming lake alone or with a dog or a horse! It’s gets hot in summer so early starts are required. Ability and desire to ride is a massive bonus. Early starts are mandatory as is a productive work eithic meaning the morning chores can be completed 8-12. After that the day is free.
Personally we then like to ride on the early evening.. say 5pm but this very much depends on temperatures and goes later as we hit summer. Riding can be alone of with others.
We also have a school if schooling is your thing. Own accommodation is a traditional cave studio apartment available. Min 2 week stay but would prefer longer term

Put some music on and enjoy the best start you could have with the most amazing views. Riding extra and considered something to enjoy Unless school is your skill. Own accommodation. Beautiful location. Car could be made available. It’s hard word physically and the summer heat is hard but it is mentally and physically rewarding 😊
