Why I love Tripaneer (Trust and Care)
It’s no secret that I absolutely love Tripaneer’s BookHorseRidingHolidays team. They are trusted by thousands of travellers all around the world, and for good reason. I went on one of their horse‑riding holidays, and it was truly one of those rare experiences where I could completely relax and enjoy myself. Almost every detail was taken care of, from the horses and equipment to accommodation and meals, which meant all I had to do was ride, explore, and simply live in the moment.
The team looked after me with care and professionalism, making the whole experience smooth, stress‑free, and unforgettable. It’s only natural that I want to sing their praises anyone who loves adventure, nature, or just wants a break from the usual routine should consider booking with them. After all, you only live once so make it count, and do it well!

What to Expect
On this four‑day riding holiday you’ll stay near Lanjarón, and explore the dramatic hills of the Sierra Nevada. Over two full days you’ll enjoy guided mountain treks on well‑trained Andalusian, Andalusian/Arab‑cross and Cob horses, mostly used with English saddles (Western saddles available on request). You’ll spend three nights in comfortable mountain or valley accommodation, with full board (breakfasts, packed lunches and dinners) provided.
The terrain varies from forest tracks and old mule paths to higher alpine pastures, so being reasonably fit helps for example, being able to walk downhill for about 15 minutes while leading your horse. The experience is suitable for complete beginners through to advanced riders.
