Pony Rides for Children in Vilallonga de Ter

Context This activity takes place at Hípica Mas Batlló, a family-run equestrian center with over 20 years of experience, located in Vilallonga de Ter, within the scenic Camprodon Valley in Girona. Nestled in the Pyrenees, this mountainous setting offers safe, on-site trails perfect for beginner children’s horseback riding. The crisp mountain air carries the scent of pine trees and damp earth, creating a peaceful, natural atmosphere. ">The Experience Children ride on well-trained, calm ponies accustomed to young riders, with parents or trained guides walking alongside throughout the ride. After a gentle walk along quiet paths, children actively participate in brushing and grooming the pony, strengthening a calm, close bond with the animal. The soft rhythm of hooves on earth provides a soothing backdrop to the experience. ">For Whom This experience is designed for children aged 3 to 11 with light physical activity, ideal for families seeking a safe, educational, and gentle introduction to horseback riding. Not suitable for children under 3 years old or those with severe fears or allergies to animals. ">Local Context The equestrian center has been part of the local community for two decades, promoting adapted horse riding and equestrian tourism in the Camprodon Valley. Traditional horsemanship blends naturally with the Pyrenean landscape and rural culture of Vilallonga de Ter, where ponies are a familiar part of daily life at the center.
