Children's Pony Rides in Buitrago del Lozoya

Context In the North Sierra of Madrid, Buitrago del Lozoya offers a natural setting with soft trails ideal for children’s horseback riding. The Buitrago Equestrian Center organizes pony rides for children starting at age 2, featuring routes that cross the 16th-century Cal y Canto Bridge, a historic landmark that adds cultural depth to the journey. Fresh air carries the scent of open fields and the soft sound of a nearby stream.

The Experience Children ride gentle ponies under the supervision of professional guides who ensure safety and teach basic horsemanship. For 20 to 60 minutes, riders travel along rural paths, cross small streams, and feel the soft texture of pony fur while hearing the horses’ soft whinnies. The activity combines direct contact with nature and hands-on learning of animal handling in a calm, supportive environment.
