As for the level of the participants of the horse riding tours, if not exclusive, it is important to take it into account and be realistic with your experience and skills. Although the equestrian center will always ask you if you ride regularly on horseback or if it is your first time on a route like these, you should always keep in mind that a route of more than 1 hour for a "first timer” is not advisable, even more so if the route is a longer excursion or even more than one day.

In general, you will receive some advice and instructions before leaving with the horse and under no circumstances will the expert leave you alone during the whole route. However, even though here they will provide you with a protective helmet in case you don't have one, it is always advisable to come with comfortable clothing and tied-up shoes with high cane to avoid rubbing with the stirrups.
