During these days you will have three full day rides and then one day during which you can choose a dressage lesson (1 hour), a jumping lesson (1.5 hours) or a hack (2 hours).

The three full day trails are all rides to monasteries - Sant Salvador, Consolacio and Montission. They vary in duration but are generally around 5.5 - 6.5 hours of riding time each day and require a transfer by car to reach the start point. Here is an example itinerary for the Sant Salvador ride (car transfer is approximately 35 minutes):

After having prepared the horses at the Finca (farm) you will leave for the Finca of 'Binifarda' which lies below the Santueri Castle and is made up of beautiful orange gardens. This is the fourth largest Finca in Mallorca. Before reaching the castle you will pass by an archaeological study where historians hope to confirm the field as the birthplace of Christopher Columbus!

After enjoying some wonderful panoramic views you will ride up the mountains of Sant Salvador following trails which have been etched into the rock. There is a point where you will have to walk and lead your horse for approximately 25 minutes. At the top, you will meet up with the support team and can tie the horses for a rest whilst you explore the monastery and its church. This is followed by a tasty brunch in the pine woods. 

Once you've finished eating it's time to tack the horses up again and begin your descent towards the Son Duri farm, a trail which will take you back through beautiful woodlands to 'Es Fanger' and then 'S'Espinagar', the finishing point of the riding route. You will be transferred back to the main finca for dinner and overnight. 

Sunday:

One last breakfast in the sunshine and then a sad farewell and departure to the airport.

NB. In November it is possible to add a beach ride to Es Trenc on payment of a supplement, meaning four days of trail rides. The beach is about 20mins away by vehicle and you ride along the white sands and through trails in the bush. There is c. 4 hrs of riding including canters along the beach.
