The country that produced the Lusitano thoroughbred horse, Portugal is the home of the world’s oldest saddle horse and its landscapes provide truly beautiful settings for some quite unforgettable rides. In a country that is steeped in the equestrian tradition, horse riding is a particularly pleasant way of enjoying the countryside, the pure, fresh air and the peace and quiet, as you set off to discover so much more.

In the region of Estoril and Sintra, you will find horse-riding schools and arenas where you can not only learn how to ride but also practise and perfect what you have already learned. There are several paths through the forests, offering excellent conditions for horse riding, which can serve as the starting point for discovering yet more routes and settings for your rides.
