Where to go horseback riding in Seville?

Such is the passion for the equestrian sector in the capital of Andalusia that you will find almost a hundred riding centres throughout the different municipalities in the province of Seville: Carmona, Valencina de la Concepción, Morón de la Frontera, San Juan de Azanalfarache, Cazalla de la Sierra and a long etcetera are some of the equestrian centres that offer horseback riding routes in every corner of Seville worth exploring, and there happen to be thousands of them!

If this is the first time you are considering trying horseback riding, forget about worries, some of the best riders in our country will accompany you while you go on your equestrian excursion, guiding you in the control and handling of these animals, while they mark the path to follow and tell you about the environment that surrounds you.

However, if you are already an experienced rider, you will also have the option of planning your own journey through the charms of Seville on horseback. You will have at your disposal a stud farm where these animals are fully accustomed to dealing with humans.

Both for the guided routes and for the rental of horses for self-devised routes to enjoy on your own, Seville and its surroundings offer you excursions through beach, river or historical areas.

You cannot miss the routes along the Guadalquivir River and San Juan de Aznalfarache, the scheduled horseback rides in the Sierra Morena area, the horseback rides through the ancient Roman cities of Italica, located in Valencina de la Concepción, and Mulva-Munigua, which is crossed by the Huéznar River, as well as routes through towns such as Dos Hermanas, Morón de la Frontera or Santiponce.

The Doñana National Park deserves special mention. Its marshes that open-up between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, its proximity to the African continent and the Strait of Gibraltar, make this a unique paradise full of virgin spaces and thousands of species that, in horseback, you will be able to appreciate even more its beauty.

Tours of this type are recommended to be enjoyed in the best of company (can you imagine an exclusive horseback route just for two?), but always bearing in mind that there are certain age limitations, which usually range from 5 to 13 years old, depending on the type and difficulty of the terrain chosen for the equestrian route.

But we are also aware that there are demanding riders who do not want to share their passion for these animals and prefer to choose a tailor-made route. In Seville you will find equestrian centres that provide this service and if you want, you can always let them give you advice you on how to choose between one course or another.

Something similar, but with an extra kick of adrenaline, is a ride along the Guadalquivir river on the back of a horse. In Aznalfarache you will find an equestrian centre that allows you to design your own route on horseback, even on the outskirts of the city along the river and accompanied by one of the centre's experts.

While it is true that the vast majority of horse-riding routes in Seville last an hour or an hour and a half, there are others ranging from 2 to four 4 of duration, but we recommend that if you are not skilled on horseback or are not a regular rider, do not venture to try a route that is so long that will end up exhausting you.

There are so many options to enjoy the province of Seville on horseback that it will be difficult to choose between them. Which one are you going to choose? Don't miss out exploring the Andalusian capital on horseback.
