RIDING

Horses and horseback riding are an integral part of Mallorca’s rural culture, with the island offering a range of riding experiences suited to all levels of riders. Whether you're an experienced equestrian or a beginner, Mallorca's stunning landscapes, from its rugged mountains to tranquil beaches, provide the perfect backdrop for exploring the island on horseback.

Mallorca is home to a rich equestrian tradition, and many locals continue to work with horses on the island’s farms, particularly in rural areas like the *Serra de Tramuntana*. These regions offer excellent riding opportunities, with scenic trails that pass through pine forests, olive groves, and traditional villages. Riding through the countryside allows visitors to experience Mallorca's natural beauty up close, as well as a glimpse into its agricultural heritage.

In addition to trail riding, Mallorca also has several riding schools and equestrian centers offering lessons for all abilities. Some places provide specialized training in disciplines like dressage, jumping, and western riding, while others focus on leisure riding for families and tourists. Many of these centers offer guided tours through the island's most picturesque spots, including beach rides along the coast, making it a memorable experience for those seeking a unique way to explore the island.

The island is also known for its native *Mallorquín* horses, a hardy and agile breed that is perfect for the varied terrains of the island. These horses are often used for traditional activities, such as working in the fields or taking part in local festivals and celebrations.

For horse lovers, Mallorca is a fantastic destination to connect with the island’s equestrian culture, whether through riding lessons, guided trails, or simply enjoying the beauty of the island's horses.
