Information
Riders could register by phone or WhatsApp. The owner of Rancho Bonanza asked about each rider’s experience. Long pants and sturdy shoes were mandatory. Helmets were available free of charge on-site. The ride was paid in cash.
Stable
Almost all riding horses lived together on a paddock field with 24/7 access to food. The horses stayed in a herd. Some horses were kept in paddock boxes near the stable, also with 24/7 food available. The owner made sure the horses’ workload was evenly distributed.

Trail Ride
The ride started by crossing a busy road. A staff member wearing a reflective vest and holding a stop sign stepped onto the road to stop traffic so all riders could cross safely into the forest. Once in the forest, we trotted for the first time. On the way to the nature reserve, we crossed two more quiet roads.
The path led over a parking lot and continued into the nature reserve. The ride passed by the bay of Cala Agulla. Riders could see the sea from horseback. Between April and October, riding directly on the beach was not allowed. On sandy and straight stretches, we trotted. At walking pace, we followed stony trails through the reserve until we reached a triangular-shaped path. We trotted along two sides of the triangle. The third side was walked back to the beginning. The riders then completed a second round of the triangle.
From there, we followed the same route back, passing Cala Agulla once again. After crossing the parking area, we returned through the forest and back to the stable.
After the ride
Back at the stable, the staff untacked the horses and returned them to their paddock.

A photo break was possible upon request.
My Review
I really enjoyed this ride. A beautiful area for horseback riding with great sandy trails for trotting. It was a lot of fun and the surroundings offered plenty of variety. The horses were well cared for, and the team made sure everything was just right.
