Horseback Riding for Kids in the Ebro Delta

Context The Natural Park of the Ebro Delta is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve featuring diverse wetland ecosystems and vast rice fields that support rich biodiversity. The horse trail follows natural paths within the park, offering views of the Ebro River and the hanging bridge at Amposta. A 4x4 transfer from Riumar Promenade to the trailhead ensures easy access to this protected area.

The Experience After being matched with a calm, well-trained horse and receiving a brief safety briefing, riders proceed at a relaxed pace along trails between rice paddies and natural zones. The cool, moist air of the wetland blends with the soft rhythm of the horse’s gait, while the guide shares insights on local ecology and regional history. The ride lasts approximately one hour, including stops for viewing the landscape and observing local wildlife.

For Whom This activity is ideal for families with children aged 5 and older, beginners in horseback riding, and anyone seeking a peaceful outdoor experience in nature. Not suitable for children under 5 or those seeking intense physical activity or who have a fear of horses.

Local Context The Ebro Delta is a region where traditional farming coexists with environmental conservation. Local communities continue time-honored practices such as rice cultivation and small-scale fishing, both of which form part of the cultural and natural heritage appreciated during the ride.
