Equestrian Escapes has just launched a new horse riding holiday to Portugal. Enjoy training on beautifully schooled Lusitano horses with top rider and judge Nuno Baptista, trail ride in the surrounding countryside and try your hand at carriage driving. This flexible holiday can be organised as a short break or a week long trip, with inexpensive flights to Faro and Lisbon there has never been a better time to visit Portugal!

We visit the horse riding holidays that we promote regularly and we are always available to discuss with you personally your perfect holiday. Many of our horse riding holidays are based at British Horse Society Approved centres.

The Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art in Jerez de la Frontera is known all over the world thanks to its show entitled "How the Andalusian Horses Dance". www.realescuela.org This is a unique exhibition of horsemanship which both exhibits and summarises the work which the institution has carried out since its establishment. Choose from a range of different packages with Equestrian Escapes, all that include the opportunity for you to watch this wonderful spectacle or call us and we will design a programme to suit your needs.

The first International Equestrian Tourism Conference was held 29 - 30 November 2007 in Jerez, Spain. Delegates from throughout Europe met to discuss horse riding holidays. Equestrian Escapes were pleased to be invited to attend, as the only tour operator in the UK specialising in equestrian holidays to Andalusia. We were lucky enough to be able to enjoy first rate presenations from a host of equestrian experts including our own, Graham Cory, Chief Executive of The British Horse Society. www.bhs.org.uk

After the conference had officially closed, equestrian tour operators from across Europe were treated to a wonderful tour of all of the most influential equestrian attractions of the region. Equestrian Escapes really are your experts in this area and we can tailor-make, from firsthand experience, your 'equestrian experience of a lifetime'.

Delegates from the conference relax and enjoy some horse riding.
