Programa

Day 1:
England has a deep-rooted and historic equestrian culture—nowhere else in the world is the grass so green! With this trekking adventure, we invite you to explore one of its beautiful National Parks on horseback. Wild moorlands, deep river valleys, ancient stone circles—this is the mystical Dartmoor National Park.
Located in Devon, the landscape is characterized by sparse, marshy vegetation, giving the area its classic moorland appearance. The region is also famous for its rich prehistoric heritage. Mysticism surrounds these lands, with legends of goblin gatherings, a headless horseman, and a giant black, furry creature known as the "Beast of Dartmoor."
In 1901, Arthur Conan Doyle set one of Sherlock Holmes' most chilling and acclaimed adventures here: The Hound of the Baskervilles.
Exploring Dartmoor on horseback allows you to cover great distances while still having time to take in the breathtaking scenery. You can choose an itinerant route or opt for the comfort of staying in one place throughout the week while riding different trails each day.
Immerse yourself in the timeless, mystical landscapes of Dartmoor National Park!
