Do you want to invite a well-known horse trainer from further up North or from abroad for hosting a clinic? Need a weather safe venue during the cooler winter months? Or some shade in the summer?

We invite you, to hire our facilities to make it possible. Our 20×40 indoor school is the optimal weather safe venue for hosting one-week clinics or special training workshops, e.g. on a weekend.

On request, you could work with some of our horses. And the horses of your participants are welcome to stay either in one of our boxes in the stable or in one of the large paddocks we offer.

Coaching & Special Events

Portugal is a very sought after destination during the winter months. Why not use the opportunity to organise some animal or equine assisted coaching sessions or another special event here at our yard?

We offer accommodation and weatherproof facilities should it rain during your stay. We can also serve a daily lunch on request.
