| COLONIAL HACIENDA
TOURS
Set date departure rides & private
rides between the historic haciendas in two stunningly beautiful
but very distinct areas of the Ecuadorian Andes. Market &

ride between patchwork fields in pastoral valleys then ascent
onto the wild open plains of Cotopaxi, the snow-capped Andean
peaks providing a magnificent backdrop.
Consult the Colonial Haciendas page.

RIDING LESSONS & SPANISH LESSONS
Professional riding lessons in an indoor riding school. Very
relaxed but a lot to offer riders of all levels.
Spanish lessons, one to one, in Quito – we work with
two very reputable schools.
‘I never expected to find such a high standard
of riding facilities and teaching in Ecuador. Kira is extremely
modest and omits to tell you that she regularly competes in
classes with Ecuador’s top riders. She has the great
skill of being able to put you at your ease, whilst homing
in on those irritating things you know could be better. Encouraging
on good points and fun to learn with, I had a fantastic day.’
SH, Dec ’06
‘I would be astonished if
there was anything she didn’t know about horses and
riding. Anything! Her love of horses and the sport shines
through. She was a wonderful teacher, patient and very helpful.
She took a person who hardly knew one end of a horse from
another and after only one afternoon’s work felt confident
enough to go out on a hack.’ CH Sept ‘06
NON RIDING TOURS
We have a large selection of options to combine with your
riding tour –from a Galapagos Island Cruise to an Amazon
lodge stay. Relaxing or ‘sporty’: hidden haciendas,
natural hot springs, mountain biking & white water rafting).
