EVENTS

MAY 11TH 2013 - Young Riders Championship of Andalucia, National Championship of Arabian horses (A.E.C.C.A.) and 5 other competitions, with a total of 11 levels, will be celebrated at our yard.

Again, we plead with all lovers of the equestrian world to give their support for Endurance riding. Last year our competition was the only one shown on television in the whole year, and we have secured the cameras again for this year. This sport needs your help.

We are a non-profit equestrian sport club doing our best to promote a sport that can be enjoyed by every member of the family and by riders young and old. A sport that requires real dedication and sacrifice.

I am so happy to announce the sponsorship of this fabulous hotel and spa, run by very attentive, professional and friendly people.

We are also so appreciative of the following companies and individuals who are now sponsoring the Competition on May 11th. But we do need more support still. We have a reputation of presenting a very professional day, enjoyed by everyone who attends. Thanks to our humble beginnings, we have bought the sport of Endurance to the province of Málaga and improved the level of perception of this sport for all in the equestrian world.











Expecting in the region of at least 60 horses to participate in this competition, which means a minimum of 150 people just in riders and crew, this is an ideal opportunity to promote your business - equestrian, vehicle, farm machinery, feed, clothing, hotel, restaurant etc For more information on how to sponsor us, or details of the event please

As in previous years, we have managed to secure camera coverage from Canal Sur and this year Tourismo Manilva are filming the event to promote tourism in the area. We are very grateful for the support of our local TV station.
