All our programmes are suitable for riders with a reasonable level of fitness, although some of our mountain trails cover more challenging terrain and are more physically demanding than our other trails. Our guests don't need to be experienced distance riders, but they should be able to handle a horse in walk, trot and canter and should be confident in the saddle as well as leading their horse on foot (please see Trail Descriptions for specific details).

The Pyrenees summer camp is especially suitable for riders who are new to trail riding.
The "La Pasion" gourmet Coast Trail and the Catalonia Wine & Coast Trail are aimed at pleasure riders.
The more ambitious riders will enjoy the Mediterranean Trail, the Ride & Beach trail and the Dalí Beach and Coast Trail, which are ridden at a faster pace. For nature lovers and sporty riders the Paths of the Herdsmen Trail, the Trail of Bandits and the Fresh & Saltwater Trail present a unique challenge. For beach lovers who don't want to pack their bags every day, the Local Ride - Costa Brava light and the Costa Brava Beach and Discovery Ride will be the right choice.

3 Horseshoes	Intermediate Rider: Safe on a well trained horse at all paces - including a long rising trot and canter. Equestrian experience also in open country. Fitness and experience make several hours in the saddle possible.

May own/share a horse or have previously owned/shared a horse and will be happy with long gallops. Can lead a horse even in difficult terrain.

For many years riders from all over the world have spent their riding holidays with us in Spain. To really enjoy your riding holiday you should be reasonably fit and confident in the saddle at all paces and be able to lead your horse on foot. In Spain/Catalonia, Panorama Trails is known as the horse riding holiday specialist for experienced riders.

We strongly recommend baggage insurance (e.g. against damage or loss) plus accident, recovery, repatriation and liability insurance. A valid health insurance in the European Union, which includes horse riding accidents, is a prerequisite for participation in our programs.
In Catalonia/Spain sufficient health insurance cover is required by law for riding and you will be asked to provide proof of cover. To participate in any of our programs we require valid international health insurance. All members of the European Union are automatically covered, but you will need to obtain the European health insurance card. Please discuss this with your insurance company.

If you have private health insurance it must be valid for the European countries.

All guests whose residence is outside the European Union must provide a globally valid health insurance.

We also recommend to all our participants that they have accident insurance, which includes cover while horse riding. If additional insurance is needed, the appropriate insurance can be completed here: http://www.reiseversicherung.de/de/versicherung/index.html

On the beach we walk, trot and canter. While cantering along the waters edge your clothes may get wet, especially when the waves are higher. For the beach ride we therefore recommend riding in waterproof boots or quick drying shoes with chaps.

In the mountains we mostly walk, but in open areas and along paths we also trot and canter. Our Andalusian horses are experts at climbing and are absolutely sure-footed in difficult areas. In some steep areas you might have to lead your horse downhill, so please bring hiking boots and half chaps.

4/12 riders: We ride in small groups. If you are travelling alone it is not a problem! Most of our guests are single travellers and meet with like-minded people on the riding holiday. You can choose to sleep in a single room or share a double room with another rider.

During your horse riding holiday you spend between three and seven hours in the saddle. At lunchtime there is a delicious picnic and you have time to relax and have a siesta after eating.

We use high quality Spanish and English endurance saddles, which are comfortable for riding long distances. You can relax in the saddle on your riding holiday!

Riding boots, comfortable hiking boots with tread, mini-chaps or long chaps, riding helmet/hat, water bottle, sun cream, riding and outdoor clothing (rain jacket and trousers), and don’t forget your swimsuit!
(Please see our 'Packing List' for a fuller list of items).

Guests who weigh over 90 kg (14 st, 200 lbs) should have excellent balance and be willing to work with their horse over more difficult terrain to ease his workload. Please check with us first if you weigh more than this.

Accompanied by an adult, anyone over 16 years of age can join the horse riding holidays but should have good riding skills. Prior agreement must be obtained from Panorama Trails. Approval from the parent or legal guardian must be provided.
