Horse Riding

We are looking for the nearest horse riding stables to us here at La Marina. Does anyone please have this information? A while ago I saw a leaflet on the subject, but it has gone missing. A real bonus would be a website address, but just contact details would be fine.

You mean you lost it !!

Thanks to information you have all given me, I have now found 3 Horse Riding, Hacking contacts in the area they are Casa la Pedrera, Palms Equestrian Centre, Catral, and Club Hipica Los Arabes in Valverde. Can anyone please help with any others? There must be others?

Ian,
You could try El Rancho in Montissinos (I hope I spelt that correctly)
Take the LaMarquesa turning in the middle of Montissinos main street and El Rancho is a couple of kilometers from there.
Telephone numbers:
966 260 882
691 965 045

I had thought of that one Angelique but was not sure if it was still open or not? Does anyone know for sure? It is in a nice country area.
But am also looking for hacking on the beach, seems really hard to find, I was sure I had seen horses on the beach in this area.

Ian
Yes El Rancho is definitely open, I was there only a couple of weeks ago and they are expanding all of their operations.
If you ring to Bar46 in La Mata, telephone 966 926 299 they will be able to give you the name and number of the owner of the next door bar who has several horses and can, I believe, help you with"Beach Horse Riding" and he may also have contact names and numbers for people who can help nearer to home.

Hi Ian, there is a place down in the village on the left hand side of the main road as you are leaving the village which has a lot of horses.

I don't know about riding or hacking opportunities, but I will try to find out for you as I live quite close by.
