Horseback riding experience in Alentejo for all levels, from complete beginners to riders looking to build confidence in one of Portugal’s most stunning coastal landscapes. Led by Filipe Serralha, founder of Horse Riding Portugal and a horseman born and raised in the rural landscapes of Southwest Alentejo, this is an authentic and genuinely unhurried experience that begins on the ground and ends on the cliffs of Cabo Sard\u00e3o overlooking the ocean.<\/p>\n

The experience starts before you ever get in the saddle. You begin with a hands-on introduction to horse care, learning how to groom, handle and understand the horses alongside Filipe, building the trust and connection between rider and horse that makes everything that follows feel natural rather than nervous. From there you move into the riding session itself, working on the basics of balance, communication and feeling comfortable in the saddle as you ride through one of the most breathtaking stretches of coastline in Portugal. All horses are well-trained, carefully selected for their calm temperament and prepared personally by Filipe to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience from start to finish.<\/p>

<\/p>\n

I am Filipe Serralha, a horseman born and raised in Southwest Alentejo and founder of Horse Riding Portugal. Horses have been central to my life since childhood and I have spent years training them with respect, patience and intuition, because horsemanship for me is a relationship built on trust rather than a technical skill. My goal with every experience is simple: that you feel safe, that you feel the connection with the horse, and that you leave with a lasting memory of this landscape and what it feels like to move through it on horseback.<\/p>\n

As the experience takes place outdoors in a naturally windy location, availability and timings may vary. Children aged 4 to 8 can ride together, with two children sharing one horse. No prior riding experience needed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"author":1434,"featured_media":33305,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"listing_category":[],"event_category":[],"service_category":[153],"rental_category":[],"classifieds_category":[],"listing_feature":[197],"region":[629],"class_list":["post-33310","listing","type-listing","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","service_category-sports-fitness","listing_feature-outdoor-workshops","region-alentejo-workshops"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing\/33310","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/listing"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1434"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33310"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing\/33310\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33362,"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing\/33310\/revisions\/33362"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/33305"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33310"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"listing_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing_category?post=33310"},{"taxonomy":"event_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event_category?post=33310"},{"taxonomy":"service_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/service_category?post=33310"},{"taxonomy":"rental_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rental_category?post=33310"},{"taxonomy":"classifieds_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/classifieds_category?post=33310"},{"taxonomy":"listing_feature","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/listing_feature?post=33310"},{"taxonomy":"region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/handson.pt\/pt\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/region?post=33310"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
