This is a six night , six  day holiday designed for riders with a  good level. It´s for those who have a great passion for Dressage and  are ready to work hard  for a week to really get a  “push on “ with their riding. As well as this, it is aimed for people who are  not only  interested in the Classical Dressage ways of riding,  but also in the procedures used for training these magnificent horses. This is a unique opportunity, not easily found at other establishments.  Guests will be immersed  in the day to day riding and training that goes on at Epona.  It´s a great chance to get a real good feeling  of the sensitive Andalusians and Iberian horses, trained to High School level, and to enjoy some of the advanced movements, such as Passage , Piaffe and Spanish Walk,  which even  very good riders  don´t  often get a chance to experiment.

This programme includes   many private lessons, one of which will be with Olympic medallist Rafael Soto, semi private lessons, ground work sessions  (working on training piaffe, passage and Spanish walk) and lunge sessions, working on  improving the classical seat. Most  of the lessons will take place in the morning leaving  most afternoons free for guests to enjoy some shopping or sight seeing in the nearby towns ,if they wish, or, alternatively, to stay at our facilities just relaxing or watching the afternoon lessons and other riding that might be taking place. (In fact, some guest often opt to join these lessons as an extra if places are available).

The programme also offers the option of visiting the training session at the Royal Andalusian School of Equestrian Art, and  your guide will be happy to comment about the training methods, horses and riders, most of which are of international fame, as well as great friends of the García family.  Usually guests prefer to visit the Weekly Show, “Those Amazing Dancing   Andalusian Stallions” which should not be missed, but for those who have already seen it before, the Training Sessions is a Very interesting option.   (More on Training)

Your board and accommodation will be on site, in an impressive 16th Century Hacienda where the García family will make you feel totally at home.
