Horseback Trail Riding Program

For those who have not ridden that much (or never) or those who mostly rode dressage and would like to learn about trail riding we offer a four day get-to-know program.

We learn about the basic care taken around horses, cleaning coats and hoofs, learn the handling of the bridle and saddle and show the Chilean way of horse riding, ideal if you want to stay on horseback for several hours and long distances. After that preparation we have several tours on horseback to choose from.

1.Day on the farm, you arrive at 1 pm, welcome, we show you around, you store away your stuff in your rooms. Later on we start the program with some exercises: how to balance, some basic gymnastics for riders, then some training with the horses in the picadero and in the paddock: learn the horses way of moving: walk, trot, canter and gallop.

2. Have a long sleep in in the morning or stroll around on the farm or the paddocks or have a walk up the mountain enjoying the great views towards the volcanoes. Around midday we go to get the horses. You learn how to prepare and saddle your horse under observation of one of your guides and trainers, then we leave for a 3 to 4 hour ride through the Mapuche Indian community Quelhue, practice what we've learned so far out in the fields. We pass by the Mapuche settlement, cross a little creek and have a nice canter or gallop on the banks of Trancura River.

3. Today we take off for a two day ride to the "Cerros de Quelhue" Forest Reserve, the protected area which the farm is bordering. Again passing by the Mapuche settlement we ride up into the mountains until we reach a abandoned farm in the rainforest were we build up our camp for the night right between the grazing horses. We prepare a typical chilean "asado al palo" were the meat is barbequed on long bamboo sticks.

4. Early in the morning we light the fire again to prepare the coffee for breakfast. Later on we round up the horses. After cleaning and saddling, a job that by now everyone will be able to do on their own, we are on our way between huge Mañio and Coighue trees, leaving the mountains behind and ride back to the farm.

In the evening we drive down to town, of course feel free to stay longer if you want.
