Horse Riding Holidays in Southern Spain
Together with a team of helpful, friendly staff and 30+ fabulous horses, we provide luxury horse riding holidays in Andalucía, Spain. We are Christine and Paul Hartfield from the UK.
In 2008 we moved to Cortijo Uribe with our two horses and two dogs and started renovation work. Whilst working on this project we seemed to attract rescue horses and dogs to the house. People also asked for riding lessons and we employed some locals to help. As more 4 legged animals arrived we set up the business as a foundation and began to re-home, dogs and re-educate horses.
We then decided to have guests to stay to help with the cost of this passion. Come and join us and share in the happiness this project has bought to our lives, whilst having an amazing horse riding holiday in Spain.
Whats been happening at Hacienda Horses this week?
Look who arrived at the cortijo today! 2 beautiful Mastín puppies... in need of their forever home. Any name ideas 💡

What's new for 2020.
As many of our guests are returners we have been working on some new ideas for guests to enjoy during their holiday with us.
Your comments would be appreciated 😊😊
Our first idea!!
As many of you have visited the beautiful city of Antequera we thought we would change our Friday as follows :
Picnic breakfast
Paella lunch
Then if guests would like to and weather permitting, guests would be transferred to the Lakes at El Chorro. Here they can swim in the lakes, hire a boat or pedalo (some have slides), swim with the fish. The water is warm in summer.
There is also the possibility to walk the Caminito del Rey, if tickets are available.
After an afternoon discovering this area, they will be taken to the Mirador restaurant to enjoy a meal together before returning to the Cortijo.
Anyone interested????

Great ideas! Am soon to book visit no.5, and previously lots of first timers enjoyed Antequera and I also enjoyed returning to the tapas bar by the horse statue. The new ideas sound great! As trips are optional the choice to stay by the pool means everyone is catered for! Plus of course best massage lady on the planet near by!! Hope all are well especially Jasper xx
We have done the walk, is really amazingly beautiful and spectacular. Going back to that area hopefully end next year as lakes looked amazing. Highly recommended.
Looking forward to our visit again in April...,a fabulous idea! 🐴
Excellent idea! ❤️
Sounds lovely xx
Sounds a brilliant day 💕💕
Sounds wonderful, fingers crossed it will be warm enough in April to try this out🌞
Great ideas for 2020!! Looking forward to coming back 😀🐎
Sounds like a great day
Sounds lovely although not sure about Caminito del Ray, not good with heights ;)
Sounds lovely xx I don’t need my arm twisting to come back! I’ve only got one visit booked should squeeze another in xxx
Sounds fabulous. It will be great to visit another area 😁
YES YES YES!!! Me and Felicity ❤️. You’ll be seeing us again. Xxx

Our last 4 reviews of 2019 - book now for 2020 to share this experience. We would love to see you.
Vivien
Stunning rural location (yet easily accessible) with beautifully presented rooms and courtyard - an incredible renovation , thankfully retaining the charm of the old farmhouse with exposed beams, etc. The horses are beautiful, and the stables 5 star, with a perfect mix of daily hacks (through olive groves and pine forests) and afternoon lessons - most certainly an experience not to be missed. Loved the brunch stop at a nearby bar/restaurant, Friday paella and the evening trip to Antequera. Also enjoyed meeting the other guests and discussing a round up of the day over dinner in front of the open log fire (inclusive of very nice wine). Missing my favourites - Faberge and Teddy so much!
Siren
Once again we had a fabulous stay at the hacienda. The horses are lovely and well mannered, the surroundings are perfect for hacks, the instructors are very knowledgeable and helpful and the food are so good. Thank you so much for your hospitality Chris and Paul. We will be back soon.
Jo
The staff and horses allowed me to relax and chill out in beautiful surroundings. The hacks were amazing and I learnt such a lot in the lessons! The added bonus of the best massage I’ve ever had was the icing on the cake! Thank you for another wonderful visit!
Sarah
Michelle and I visited Hacienda Horses from the 3rd to 6th November. From the minute Andy picked us up from the airport we felt at home and looked after. Cortijo Uribe is a wonderful place surrounded by scenic olive groves and grapevines. The premises are beautiful and full of character and history. All of the horses are special , well cared for and well schooled and responsive, I learnt a lot from Varon, Menka and Rubio, Mel and Vicks were great instructors, patient and informative, I loved the lessons! Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff, it is a great set up and I hope we can visit again next year. Thanks to all for a great riding holiday.
Oh what a shame, so sorry to hear about you injury. Perhaps if you go slowly and build up the muscle you might be okay. Good luck
I would love to come again had amazing week and rewoke my love of riding...until I broke my back (no fault what so ever of hacienda or their horses). Don’t know if my back would manage now sadly 😢
Counting down the days until my holiday! 😊

We are situated next to the village of Mollina, in the Malaga province of Andalusia. The Cortijo is a short 40 minute transfer from Malaga airport. With excellent train and bus services, the location is perfect for those who want to experience the cities, towns and villages of the Andalucían region and the real Spain. We have three stunning, historic & very different cities of Seville, Cordoba and Granada a little over an hour away. Closer still, within a 15 minute car journey, we have the beautiful medieval town of Antequera, the cross roads of Andalusia.
