Description

Context The pony ride for children takes place at the Pony Club La Loma Equestrian Center, situated on the Trassierra road, kilometer 2, just a few minutes' drive from central Córdoba. This licensed equestrian center offers a calm, natural environment where children can begin their journey in horseback riding with gentle, well-trained ponies. The route gently ascends through a secure private estate, making it ideal for young riders, with a ride duration of 20 to 30 minutes. The scent of fresh earth and clean stable air enhances the peaceful, immersive experience.

The Experience Children are welcomed and introduced to their ponies, learning how to gently touch and interact with them. Under the guidance of a certified instructor and accompanied by a responsible adult, they then ride a guided path through the natural estate. The rhythmic sound of hooves on soft earth and the breeze carrying the aroma of thyme create a serene atmosphere, fostering a direct, calming connection with nature. The session concludes with a farewell and personalized suggestions for future visits.

For Whom This activity is designed for children aged 2 years and older, especially those new to horseback riding and families seeking a safe, fun outdoor experience. It is not suitable for children under 2 years old or for those seeking longer rides or unsupervised experiences.

Its close proximity to the city allows families to enjoy nature without traveling far, in a setting that honors local culture and the distinctive Andalusian landscape.
