Description

Context This guided pony ride takes place at San Jorge Riding School, a family-friendly equestrian center located in San Sebastián de los Reyes, just steps from the Jarama River and the Dehesa Quemada. The route gently ascends over approximately 3 km of rural trails through a peaceful, natural environment ideal for young riders. The soft sound of hooves on dry earth accompanies the journey.

The experience After a brief introduction and fitting of safety gear including helmets, children mount gentle ponies suited to their size and temperament. For 30 minutes, a trained instructor accompanies them along natural paths and country lanes, where the air carries the scent of thyme and damp earth. At the end, children have the chance to pet the ponies and ask questions of the staff.
