Breathtakingly scenic ride on wonderfully cared for horses. - I had an absolutely wonderful ride with GM Equestrian today! The route was breathtaking riding along the cliffs with stunning ocean views, through peaceful forest trails, and open scenic stretches made it a truly unforgettable experience. The ride felt perfectly suited for all levels: safe and comfortable for beginners, yet still engaging and enjoyable for more experienced riders. What stood out most for me was the genuine care and love Jose and the team show for their horses. Each one is a rescue, beautifully cared for, healthy, and clearly happy in their work, it made the whole experience even more special.

Guided horseback excursion on the Algarve coast - The last time I sat as a child was on a pony running in circles at the folk festival. That was a much nicer experience. Highly recommended!

Amazing horse riding experience in Alvor - What an amazing horse riding experience in Alvor! The hosts are just the loveliest people so kind, welcoming, and you can tell they’re really living their dream. The horses are so well looked after and really well trained, which made the ride feel relaxed and enjoyable even if you’re not super experienced. The views along the way were absolutely stunning it honestly felt so special. We came away with big smiles and some great memories. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Alvor!

Nice exit - It was a nice ride with great views. We especially liked that we could support something good. The horses were rescued from bad circumstances and are allowed to live a nice life there.

Nice time, was worth it - It was easy to find, and the employees were all super friendly. The horses were easy to ride and it’s perfect because it is fun and doesn’t take up your entire day. I would recommend it to anybody, especially if you are traveling with children and looking to give them a different experience then just being in the beach or in a car for your entire vacation/holiday. There is no trotting or galloping so a complete novice can ride these horses.
