Choosing a Spanish Horse
When embarking on your horseback riding adventure around Doñana, the exhilarating task of choosing a Spanish horse awaits. Here are 4 important things to consider when selecting your trusty steed:

Riding Techniques: Consider your riding experience and the type of ride you desire. If you’re a novice rider looking for a gentle and calm ride, a well-trained and docile horse would be a great choice. On the other hand, if you’re an experienced rider seeking a more spirited and challenging ride, a horse with a bit more energy and agility might be a better fit.
Temperament: Assess the temperament of the horse you’re considering. Look for a horse that’s calm, responsive, and well-mannered. A horse with a good temperament will make your riding experience more enjoyable and safe.
Physical Condition: Check the physical condition of the horse. Look for a horse that’s well-groomed, healthy, and fit. A horse in good physical condition will have the stamina and strength to endure the ride.
Choosing the right Spanish horse for your adventure will ensure a memorable and enjoyable horseback riding experience in Doñana.
