Description

Context In Cornellà del Terri, located in the Pla de l'Estany region of Girona, a structured equestrian course offers a calm and supportive environment for learning to ride and manage a horse. The equestrian center is surrounded by scenic nature trails and overlooks Lake Banyoles, making it an ideal location for newcomers to horseback riding. The program includes 10 one-hour sessions, conducted in small groups to ensure individualized attention and tailored instruction based on each rider’s progress.

The experience Each session begins with proper horse preparation and equipment fitting, followed by controlled exercises to guide the horse at the walk within an enclosed arena. Riders gradually develop balance, posture, and coordination before progressing to controlled trotting on safe, rural pathways. The rhythmic sound of hooves on soft earth, combined with fresh air scented by grass and wild herbs, enhances the peaceful atmosphere. Rides offer panoramic views of Lake Banyoles, deepening the sense of connection with nature and fostering mindfulness.

For whom This course is suitable for absolute beginners, children from age 6, and adults seeking to learn or refine riding skills at a relaxed, secure pace. It is not recommended for individuals with severe animal allergies or those with limited mobility that would prevent safe riding without special adaptations.

Local context The Pla de l'Estany is a rural area with strong traditions in agriculture, nature, and outdoor recreation. Equestrian activities coexist with hiking, farm tourism, and local festivals. Instructors combine professional training with a warm, welcoming approach, helping riders feel part of a supportive local equestrian community.
