Cortijo Mangueta Ausritt zweieinhalb Stunden

Before heading into the open terrain, we walked a few rounds at a walk on the riding arena. Once the owner gave the green light, we could trot along a long side. At the corner, we were to return to a walk. After a few rounds, we were instructed to follow the guide on the bike. We rode along the trails, and sometimes the rider on the bike went so far ahead that we could no longer see him. We didn’t know whether to continue at a trot or walk, so we discussed it among ourselves and decided to trot. The guide then came back and told us to stay at a walk. We continued walking through a sunflower field until we finally reached the dunes and the beach. On the beach, we rode at a walk to the right until we came to a stop. All riders took photos with their own phones. Shortly after, the guide explained the gallop sections. He rode a short straight stretch in the sand and returned to the group. For the first gallop, each rider followed the marked route individually, made a 180-degree turn, and galloped toward the group. Right behind the group, we rode into the deep sand to return to a walk. This first gallop was very short. During the second and third gallops, we rode in pairs. After everyone had gone, we walked along the beach for a while until we made another 180-degree turn and returned along the same path. At the same spot, we stopped once more for a final short gallop before riding back to the stable at a walk. The guide had already arrived at the stable long before us.
