Horse Riding In Tenerife - lots of scope!Horse riding in Tenerife is a very prominent, popular pastime, not the least because it provides a leisurely way to explore the island and access places that a motor vehicle couldn't.  Photo: Alpha
Here's a selection of these places:
Also known as the Horse Riding Center, this is situated near the small village of Aldea Blanca, just north into the hills from Las Chafiras (junction 24, TF-1 motorway). Staff are multilingual, being able to communicate in English, Spanish, Swedish, Finnish, Italian and German. The Center offers both riding lessons and organised treks.

These are horse riding stables in the San Eugenio area of Playa de Las Americas, not too far from the Aqualand water park.

The centre is open 365 days a year.
Maximum of four riders per guide. Lessons last approximately one hour which consist of about 20 minutes theory and 40 minutes in the saddle.

This horse riding centre, formerly known as Rancho Grande is found on Amarilla Golf, the large urbanization just off the TF-1 motorway halfway between the southern resorts and the south airport. It's located just at the bottom end of the number one hole of the golf course. As it has, at the time of writing, only recently been totally refurbished, this centre is brand spanking new! On offer are lessons in riding, jumping and dressage.
Meanwhile, for more details, give them a call! contact: Gabriel on 663 440350
Rancho Bonanza is a ranch covering almost 4.5 acres situated near Granadilla, in the south of the island. As well as offering horse riding tours, the ranch takes in neglected horses, nursing them back to health and also has horses for sale. Rancho Bonanza offers a variety of tours to accommodate all riding abilities. Prices range from 30 euros for a one-hour tour to 85 euros for a five-hour one. Also on offer are four-hour moonlight tours for 65 euros. Tours are confined to weekdays. Riding lessons are given on Saturdays - beginners at 11am; experienced at 12 noon. There appear to be no activities on Sundays. This ranch can be found by exiting the TF-1 motorway at junction 22 and going through San Isidro. Take the turning signposted Chimiche (TF-636) and follow this winding road. Eventually, when you're in the middle of nowhere, you'll see a roadsign with a picture of a horse. Take the road branching off to the left soon after this and follow it till you come to a T-junction. Take a left turn and follow this road to the end. You'll see a dead-end sign and another saying "private", but just keep going. The ranch is at the end of this road. contact details: Telephone: (+34) 686 547062
