Description

These beautiful trail rides are a chance to explore and discover the real Portugal from the back of a noble Lusitano horse, a native breed famed for their willing nature, friendly characters and soft paces. The guides lead small groups on a journey through the most unspoiled locations of the Ribatejo region, travelling through open countryside, cork forests, vineyards, villages, valleys or even to the beach. Please note that there is some roadwork on these tours as you also explore the local towns.

Groups consist of no more than six or seven riders, ensuring that everyone can enjoy a quality holiday on a well-trained horse. The horses are fit and very capable of long trots and enthusiastic canters, meaning that they are a joy for experienced riders. Each night you return to the quinta or to a charming rural guesthouse, experiencing real Portuguese culture and traditions as well as enjoying the hours spent on horseback.

The owners of this ride are Kristin and Pedro. Kristin Dolke, originally from Germany, is a passionate horsewoman with a particular love of Iberian horses. She strongly believes that good, happy horses must be turned out to run in the fields sometimes and she is convinced that training the horses for both dressage and trail riding results in an excellent riding horse who is easy, forward-going and controllable. Pedro Neves is a well-respected Portuguese rider and trainer, formerly a member of the national working equitation team. Although you may meet them on the farm, they have a young family and also welcome guests for training holidays, therefore they are not always involved in hosting and guiding you on the trails. Instead you will be taken care of by one of their well-trained guides.

If you're looking to ride top quality horses and see authentic Portugal then this could well be the ride for you!

Horses & Riding

Tack

You will ride in traditional Portuguese tack for these trails. Saddles often have a deep seat and high pommel and cantle, designed to optimise comfort when riding for long hours working cattle in the fields. The saddles are typically covered in a large sheepskin pad and give the impression of sitting in a comfortable armchair! Breastplates and bridles are simple leather, often with ornate buckles and the horses are generally ridden in traditional Portuguese curb bits.

Horses

All the horses you will meet on these rides are Lusitano or Lusitano crosses. They can vary in height from around 15.2 - 16.2hh on average (some exceptions!) and are all intelligent, willing and noble horses. Many of the horses you will ride on the trail have been trained to medium or advanced level dressage and are adept at collected work - it is not often you will meet trail horses that are equally happy in the countryside as they are in the dressage ring.

  • 6 Day Atlantic Coast Trail is a trail ride

Food & Accommodation

Food

The programmes include full board. Lunches are usually picnics eaten in beautiful places whilst dinners are taken in the garden during summertime or at a big, sociable table in front of a warm fireplace during winter. Occasionally dinners are in typical traditional restaurants.

The programme also includes drinks during the ride and with your meals (water, coffee, tea, beer and wine).

Accommodation

You are accommodated at the base quinta ('Quinta dos Pinheiros') and in charming rural guesthouses along the way. The accommodation offers double or twin rooms with private showers and toilets, though there may be one or two nights when these facilities need to be shared. If the group is full and there are other guests at QdP, riders on the first and last nights may also be accommodated in a neighbouring quinta instead but will join everybody for dinners back at base.

The accommodation for one night on the Atlantic Coast Trail is a bit quirky - ask for more info if you're curious!

Itineraries

6 Day Atlantic Coast Trail Standard accommodation.

7 Day Lusitano Trail Standard accommodation.

Other Activities

This riding programme is crammed full of riding so there isn't much time for other things! We can organise additional days with riding tuition (dressage and classical Portuguese style riding). There is sometimes also the possibility to add on trips to the local Golega fair.

It is around a 45 minute drive from the airport to the quinta and set-time Lisbon airport transfers are included in the trail prices, as per the timings below. Transfer can also be provided from/to the nearby station of Santarem at no additional cost, from where you can take an easy train to Lisbon.

Testimonials

Anna L., June 11, 2025

It was a lovely experience! Amazing horses, a sweet guide, lovely food and beautiful scenery. Favourite memory? The last day when we reached the Atlantic. That days ride was faster, with more canters and more beautiful views than the days before. The carousel-canter at the beach was really funny.


Emerald H., Aug. 10, 2023

There were so many (favourite memories). Probably just getting to know my horse and doing a perfect collected canter through the Portuguese countryside. Loved the first place we stayed (with the ex-professional carriage-driving lady). Plus the dressage lesson was incredible. Horses and tack are 11/10. I rode Galante - beautifully schooled and a perfect match. Then at the end had a dressage lesson from Pedro (highly recommend) on Olé who if I had the funds I would buy actually. Really special. Comfiest saddles ever and great for the seat.


Laurie R., April 4, 2023

Wonderful holiday! Best horses, varied trails, learned a lot about Lusitanos and Portuguese culture. Best memory? Riding in a carousel formation around the Feira da Golega where the Lusitano Horse Fair takes place each year. It was very exhilarating riding together as a group on the wonderful Lusitano horses. Our guide made sure we all got a video of that.


Becca G., Nov. 29, 2022

This was our second ride with Lusitano Trails, and it did not disappoint! Everything was perfect. Holly requested our favorite horses from our first visit; we couldn't have been happier! The ride was slightly different with a slightly different group from before, but it was a blast!


Anne C., Oct. 19, 2022

Just perfect in every way; hosts , accommodation, food, horses. Joleen was the perfect guide. Always cheerful and went out of her way to make the holiday perfect. Nothing was too much trouble for her.


Amanda S., Sept. 28, 2022

Exceptional from start to end. The horses are simple to die for and the food and accommodations are fantastic. Lovely memories of cantering through stubble fields and sunflower fields. Jolene was so smiley, so happy, and couldn't do enough for everyone.


Amanda M., Sept. 14, 2022

Lovely well schooled horses and fantastic scenery. Jolene was excellent: made it fun but I also felt very safe with her. The horses and their tack were fabulous


Madeline S., July 25, 2022

It was incredible! The horses were excellent - well trained, athletic and very sweet. The countryside was beautiful, I enjoyed riding on the beach, and the guide Jolene was friendly and knowledgable. Favourite memory? Riding on the beach on the last day.


Ciara P., March 10, 2022

The trip was wonderfully planned and executed, and absolutely exceeded my expectations. The horses were soft, responsive, well-trained and gentle. The trails were varied and gave a real picture of the Portugal countryside. The guides were patient and good-humored, and well versed in taking care of our safety. We came for the riding, but the quality of the food and accommodations were a delightful surprise!


Laura H., March 10, 2022

Wonderfully kind and caring personnel all around. Amazing horses, trails and views. Food and drink were incredible. WOW is all I can say!!


Barbara F., Nov. 8, 2021

One of the best for good riding – walk, trot and canter in beautiful and varied scenery.


Natalie J., Oct. 6, 2021

Fabulous. The horses were so well looked after and clearly happy, forward going, responsive and enjoying what they did. The same can be said of all the humans involved. A lovely fun week.


Johanna F., Oct. 5, 2021

Horses were wonderful, schooled, willing and well-behaving. Kristin and Pedro and their staff also wonderful. I enjoyed every minute and especially the last day’s dressage lesson with Pedro – highly recommend that!


Karen M., June 17, 2021

Fantastic and Magical. As my first "ride" holiday I have no comparison, though I have had day rides before in France, Costa Rica, and Spain. This was far better than I had experienced previously. Picnicking in the cork and eucalyptus forests beside horses. The flowers, birds, and fruit trees, Excellent company of fellow guests and hosts.


Amy B., June 7, 2021

The holiday was really good, didn't really want it to end. My favorite memory was the long canters around the fields and going around the lagoon. The saddles were very comfy and kept very clean. The bridles were fine and clean. (My horse..) was ok but very difficult to get cantering but apart from that, it was forward going when I managed to. The guide was lovely and very friendly.


Pat, Feb. 13, 2020

Excellent horses and guides, good company. Best memory - the beach ride and lunch by the river Tejo!


Sue, Nov. 6, 2019

Collected canter in formation with my daughter across the beach - a great family experience!


Geir, Oct. 18, 2019

One Word:- FANTASTIC


Diane, Sept. 25, 2019

Fantastic horses, wonderful accommodation and food - A dream holiday! I would recommend this holiday 100% to anybody - it was awesome.


Mireille, Sept. 25, 2019

I had a great time! Great people, beautiful landscapes, amazing horses - the perfect escape fro everyday life in a city.


Louise A., May 15, 2019

In a word, wonderful! Horses, trail, accommodation, food, information, people. All great and it was over too soon. Favourite memory - cantering in formation on the beach. Very happy with lovely choices of accommodation and restaurants. I especially like Quinta da Vale Formosa. Sacha was lovely - calm and patient at all times and she explained things clearly. What a lovely person. Antonio is also worth a mention. He is so caring and courteous. And Kristin is great! I love them all


Amanda S., Nov. 2, 2017

Fabulous from start to finish. Great food, varied accommodation, great riding and attention to detail beyond expectations. Thoroughly recommended. All (accommodation) very different and all very nice. Drinks were free-flowing and more food than we could ever finish. All horses were outstanding. Tack and equipment top notch. The personality of the Lusitano horse is such that most of the steeds would suit all levels of rider and confidence. The best guides to date - nothing was too much trouble. At every stop our saddlebags were topped up with water bottles, we had beer and ice lollies served en-route and the pace was adjusted to our liking (ground and heat permitting). Catharina, in particular, is an asset to the trail rides and clearly loves people, her job and the horses. (Favourite memory?) Riding through the 9ft cornfield. Madeleine's house and meal, the equitation school in Golegã. Last day's working equitation lesson.


Lori T., June 29, 2016

The holiday was fantastic! By far, this is the best, most organised riding holiday we've been on. There was plenty of riding out on the trails and spending time with our horses, but it never felt like too much or too little. The trails were fantastic and each stop made the trip feel very unique. The horses were exquisitely cared for and very loved. My friends and I had a GREAT time!


Adele I., May 18, 2016

Every day was a new adventure. First and foremost, Kristin and her staff and horses are fabulous - what wonderful hosts each of them were.


Nansi S., May 18, 2016

It simply doesn't get better than this!! These horses were simply amazing - all beautifully trained and pure heaven to ride. Add to that a countryside and destinations that were beautiful and interesting, food that was great, and the folks at the ride who are very friendly and fun!


Jan J., Dec. 8, 2015

Terrific. Wonderful and thoughtful hosts, varied rides, plenty of excellent food and wine, delightful horses (willing & easy to handle). Great accommodation (at the base in particular).


Chris D., Dec. 8, 2015

Very good - better than that! (I loved) my horse Ricardo (Richard I called him) and Conrad the dog! Wonderful - nothing overlooked. She (Kristin) was great, could not do more for us and good fun to be with!


Roger T., Dec. 8, 2015

Kristin has put a lot of thought into this trail, providing diversity, interest, great accommodation and wonderful food in equal measure. Probably the best riding holiday I have ever had.


Sheila L., Dec. 8, 2015

Very organised and beautiful thought through itinerary to provide variety throughout the holiday, with interesting insight into the area and culture if the region. My horse - Quartzo! Grumpy with other horses but lovely with me. Our "home" accommodation was especially excellent. Kristin bent over backwards to ensure our comfort.


Lili C., May 11, 2015

I arrived back from my amazing tour in Portugal. Imagine, I had the opportunity to ride Casique, that fantastic and lovely creature :) I enjoyed every minute of the tour. All the members of the group were very friendly, we had so much fun together and even were lucky with the weather. Kristin was beyond peradventure the best rider and tour guide I have ever ridden with. Also the horses were the most well trained and softest horses I have ever ridden on a riding tour. Kristin and Pedro were very nice and made every effort possible to make us satisfied. I won't ever forget the dishes we had together. Furthermore I have to admit that this tour had the highest standards regarding the accomodations and supply - I have never experienced such attention and delicate service. While everything went fluently, in the same time everything was at ease.


Judy & Ben G., May 6, 2015

A super ride! Great horses, great trails, fine tack, a very congenial and capable host, lots of good/long long canters, the food was good and accommodations comfortable. The horses were likely the best trained horses we have ever ridden on vacation and that is after 50+ riding vacations so that really is a great compliment. They were such a pleasure to ride. Kristin has obviously spent a lot of time on the careful planning of this ride and we really appreciated that.


Itinerary & Pricing

Day 1 - ARRIVAL

Riding: 1 - 2 hours

Pick-up from Lisbon airport at 14:00 with transfer to Quinta dos Pinheiros, home to your hosts and horses, approximately 45 minutes by car. After a welcome snack it's time for an introduction to the horses and you'll head out for your first ride. You will mount up in the indoor school, taking a few minutes to get used to the horse and to make any tack adjustments required, then you will head out on a short ride through the neighbouring cork forests, eucalyptus trees and fields, usually for around 1 - 1.5 hours, to see that you are well-suited. 

You will return back to Quinta dos Pinheiros and will have time to relax and shower before dinner either in the garden or by the fireplace on chillier days. Overnight at Quinta dos Pinheiros or a lovely guesthouse nearby.

Day 2 - INTO THE RIO MAIOR VALLEY

Riding: 5 - 6 hours

After breakfast, you leave Quinta dos Pinheiros and begin your journey towards the Atlantic. Riding through fragrant pine and cork forests, you gradually leave civilization behind as the landscape opens into the beautiful Rio Maior valley.

Antonio and Rosie will welcome you for a fresh picnic under the shade of some pine trees, where both riders and horses can relax before continuing the afternoon's ride. Following quiet tracks through the lush green valley, you'll pass picturesque villages nestled among the hills before arriving at Quinta da Lapa.

Your home for the night is a beautiful historic wine estate, where comfortable rooms await, and our horses settle into paddocks after an unforgettable first full day.

Day 3 - THE WILD BEAUTY OF THE CANDEEIROS

Riding: 5 - 6 hours

After fuelling yourself with a lovely fresh breakfast, you prepare for a long riding day ahead, with around six hours in the saddle and an ever-changing landscape to explore. Following winding country tracks through eucalyptus forests, you'll enjoy long trots and flowing canters before reaching a peaceful stream, where your horse can rest while you take a short transfer to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch in an old fort!

Refreshed and ready for the afternoon, you return to your horse and begin the climb into the Serra dos Candeeiros. This striking limestone mountain range, reaching 485 meters above sea level, is renowned for its dramatic scenery, unique geology and protected Mediterranean vegetation. As you make your way through the natural park, spectacular panoramic views unfold before you, offering some of the most memorable riding of the trail. Descending through fragrant eucalyptus woodland, you arrive at Quinta Vale do Formoso, where Nick & Vicky, who are passionate and well-known in the eventing and showjumping world, offer a warm welcome to their beautifully restored rural home.

After settling your horse, there's time to relax by the pool or unwind on the terrace with a well-earned drink before enjoying another evening of delicious hospitality.

Day 4 - FROM FOREST TRAILS TO MEDIEVAL WALLS

Riding: 4 - 5 hours

Today is affectionately known as the "rollercoaster day" as you ride across a landscape of rolling hills, peaceful valleys and captivating forests. Winding through cork and eucalyptus woodland, you'll experience the strength and sure-footedness of the Lusitano as you climb and descend the ever-changing terrain.

Along the way, you'll pass hidden valleys, quiet rural villages and farmland, with opportunities to stop and admire breathtaking panoramic views of the Portuguese countryside. A carefully chosen picnic awaits in a beautiful scenic location, offering the perfect opportunity to relax before continuing your journey.

Although the Atlantic remains just beyond the horizon, you're getting closer with every stride. By late afternoon, you arrive in the magnificent medieval town of Óbidos, one of Portugal's most treasured historic villages.

Tonight you stay at the charming Quinta da Torre, before wandering the cobbled streets of Óbidos and enjoying dinner in a traditional local restaurant. No visit is complete without tasting the famous Ginjinha de Óbidos, the region's iconic cherry liqueur.

Day 5 - HOOVES ON THE SAND

Riding: 4 - 5 hours

Your final day's ride, the day you've been waiting for!

After breakfast, you saddle up once more with the Lusitanos and set off towards the coast. As sandy tracks begin to replace country tracks, and the scent of eucalyptus forests gives way to the fresh Atlantic air, the excitement begins to build.

You soon arrive at the spectacular Óbidos Lagoon, Portugal's largest coastal lagoon, where calm waters meet an extraordinary variety of birdlife and natural beauty. Following the shoreline, you'll enjoy long trots and exhilarating canters with breathtaking views across the lagoon and towards the Atlantic Ocean. Lunch is served at O Covão dos Musaranhos overlooking the water while your horse enjoys a well-earned rest.

After lunch, then comes the unforgettable final stretch. Following the lagoon to its mouth, the vast Atlantic Ocean finally comes into view. Riding onto the beach, feeling the sand beneath your horse's hooves, you make your way across the length of the beach together until reaching the water's edge, hearing the roar of the waves of the Atlantic for a moment few riders ever forget. There will be plenty of time to capture photographs and reflect on the incredible journey that has brought you from the heart of Ribatejo all the way to Portugal's western coastline.

Day 6 - DEPARTURE

Riding: No riding.

After a final breakfast and fond farewell to your horse, who you will find in one of the quinta's paddocks, it’s time to head back to Lisbon airport for departure. Flights should be booked for 12:00 onwards in order to take advantage of the transfers included but those leaving earlier or continuing travel in Portugal can take an easy train from Santarém station.

Day 2 - INTO THE HEART OF THE RIBATEJO

Riding: 5 - 6 hours

After breakfast, the trail begins as you set off from the Quinta heading towards direction Golegã, the traditional horse capital of Portugal. Riding your lovely Lusitano, you leave the farm behind and follow rolling hills with wide open views, passing olive groves and quiet natural paths that invite you to fully settle into the rhythm of trail riding. After approximately 3½ hours in the saddle, you stop to enjoy a relaxed picnic in the shade of cork trees, with delicious local food, refreshing drinks and a well deserved break for both horses and riders.

With renewed energy, you continue for another 2 hours, riding through the characteristic Ribatejo landscape — home to grazing bulls and elegant white storks — before arriving at the peaceful Quinta do Mato Miranda, a beautiful and quiet place perfect for unwinding after the day’s ride.

In the evening, you gather for dinner and spend the night in the charming guesthouse accommodation at the Quinta.

Along the way, you enjoy long relaxed canters through almond plantations and follow small winding paths that lead you gently uphill to some of the most beautiful panoramic views of the region.

After approximately 3 hours of riding, you arrive in Golegã, the traditional capital of the Lusitano horse. Riding through the charming town and around the famous Manga is always a special and memorable experience. Once the horses are settled, you enjoy a relaxed lunch before exploring the town — perhaps browsing traditional Portuguese tack shops or choosing a small ceramic souvenir to take home.

Day 4 - IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF LUSITANO TRADITION

Riding: 3 - 5 hours

After a traditional Portuguese breakfast in the heart of Golegã, you continue the trail towards today’s destination: Quinta da Broa.

Today’s ride takes you through the wide open landscapes of the Ribatejo region — across farmland and agricultural fields with plenty of space for long canters. You pass colourful poppy fields and follow parts of the beautiful Tagus River before reaching one of the oldest and most traditional Lusitano stud farms in Portugal: the historic Coudelaria Veiga.

Upon arrival, a lovely picnic by the pool awaits you before enjoying an exclusive guided visit through the Veiga Stud. Surrounded by grazing mares and their foals, you will experience the authentic atmosphere and deep tradition that make this place so special for Lusitano lovers around the world.

After some time to relax in your apartment, you return to Golegã for another wonderful dinner together in town.

Day 5 - ...& ENDLESS VIEWS

Riding: 3 - 5 hours

After a slightly slower morning, you head together to prepare the horses for another beautiful day on the trail. Riding through small traditional Portuguese villages and open fields, you gradually make your way towards the river, where a relaxing picnic lunch awaits with stunning views over the water.

Recharged and back in the saddle, you continue along peaceful trails through pine and cork oak forests, passing grazing cows and bulls along the way. As you ride higher into the landscape, the horses of Quinta da Boa Vista come into view — a memorable sight at the end of the day’s journey.

Perched on top of a hill, the final destination offers some of the most breathtaking views of the entire trail. The Quinta is Madalenas home, a renowned Lusitano breeder, internationally recognized for success in carriage driving competitions. After arriving, you can relax by the pool, enjoy a wonderful dinner, and experience everyday life on this impressive traditional Portuguese estate — a truly special atmosphere to end the day.

Day 6 - VINEYARDS, MEMORIES & HOMECOMING

Riding: 3 - 5 hours

Waking up to a beautiful sunrise at Quinta da Boa Vista before enjoying a relaxed breakfast together, surrounded by the peaceful atmosphere of the estate.

If time allows, your host Madalena will give an exclusive tour of her stables and impressive carriage collection, offering a fascinating insight into the world of carriage driving after which you set off for the final day of the trail.

This morning's ride leads you through peaceful cork oak forests, charming Portuguese villages, and endless vineyards, setting the perfect mood for your lunch stop. After around two hours in the saddle, we arrive at Quinta da Ribeirinha, a local vineyard where lunch is served. There is also the opportunity to purchase a bottle of regional wine as a special souvenir to take home.

Following lunch, you ride for another 2½ hours as you make your way back to Quinta dos Pinheiros, where your journey first began. Back at the farm, there is time for one last refreshing dip in the pool or simply to relax before a final dinner, celebrating an unforgettable week in the saddle and the memories made along the way.
