Horse Riding Holidays in Southern Spain
Together with a team of helpful, friendly staff and 30+ fabulous horses, we provide luxury horse riding holidays and Bed and Breakfast 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. After many years of re-educating horses we are now in positon to sell some of our amazing Andalusian PRE’s and other breeds. Spainish Dressage horses for sale
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?
We wish all our friends the best Christmas possible and we look forward to meeting again in 2021. Stay safe and happy, hugs from all the team xxxxxxx

The day started with the most beautiful sunset. Later Max and a couple of other dogs took themselves out for a walk when the dumper went out. The other dogs returned but no Max??? 😳
Later Penny and I could hear him howling we shouted and took a walk around to find him in the reservoir next door. Poor baby.😪😪
The team Jorge, Penny, Paul and I took ropes and a life belt and pulled him to safety. He is now at home and fully recovered.
The neighbour has fixed his fencing.😁
Thank goodness the angels 🧚♀️🧚♀️were looking after him and we were able to find him in time.

We have a guest who decided to lock down with us here. We are all having a great time. Hacks at the moment are beautiful and we are now in the yellow flower phase. They are everywhere enjoining the warm temperatures and light showers. La Camora is stunning as the photos show.
Perfect place go be locked down! Would be great to be there with you again!
I would love to be locked-down there! And that looks like Miki 🥰
How lovely, I absolutely don’t blame them! 🐴🤩
My dream is to come and stay with you. If you ever need a secretary, I will be there!!!
Wish i could have lockdown with you guys xx
Now that's the place to be in lockdown!
Brilliant idea
Insanely jealous!!
Jealous? - moi? - not much 😩 xxxx
Beautiful weather and slightly cooler so horses are now out and really enjoying themselves. Grass, sun and company. Perfect
Wish more than anything we were here! John Merrills

Vengador has a room with a fabulous view of the sea for the Málaga final today. ❤️❤️
Not the best day for luck, and we finished 6th in the Malaga final. Thank you all however for your wonderful support. I am just so pleased to be still out there competing with my handsome boy, it is our first year and we hope to improve next year. We are still 8th in the Andalusia league and have qualified for that final as well. We might just go for fun and see what happens. It is in Huelva (250 kilometers away) on the 21st. Lets just hope there are no new restrictions stopping it.
Lots of luck and hope you both enjoy your day🥰
Good luck, have a brilliant day, lots of love from us both xxxxx

This is so true of the golden horses we have here who will be with us forever. I watch with amazement when they come out and give lessons, even after the long breaks this year. They are happy and steady looking after their riders. 'Golden Horses'I am a lesson horse.
I am a horse that isn’t as recognized as the top hunter jumpers, the best western pleasure horse, or the 1D barrel horse, I am a lesson horse. I am the backbone of the foundation to do all of those things. I am a lesson horse.
I am not loved by one person. I am loved by several people. I don’t have my person, I have my people. I am a lesson horse.
I will teach your child and yourself more than just to ride. I will bring your child out of their shell. I will teach your child about life. I will be yours and their shoulder to cry on. I am a lesson horse.
I will bring my family the joy of teaching kids. I will bring my families business growth. I am so loved by my family, even if they don’t express it everyday. My family allows others to show me love and enjoy me. I am a lesson horse.
At the end of your childs’ journey on a lesson horse, they will out grow me. They will find one that jumps higher, a horse that is show quality, a horse much faster than me. But, I will never outgrow being a lesson horse. I will be the one that loved your child and helped your child grow into the rider and person they are. I am a lesson horse.
At the end of my time as a lesson horse; I will be covered in grey hair. Each grey hair came from each hour I spent as a lesson horse. I will be in a field of green grass, I will be taken care of as I was when I was a lesson horse. I will watch your child from across the pasture love her new horse. But, I will love your child more than any horse can. I will be the backbone of the business, the family, and your child. Don’t forget about me, I am a lesson horse.
I am a lesson horse.
*words stolen from a friend*
All children should have a lesson horse In the 1960 at senior school once a week for a term riding lesson's were on the curriculum and being very dyslexic this special time helped me through school now 70 I still have horses in my life. They are such a leveller
So true, I still remember some of the pony’s I had my lessons in more than 40 years ago: Nancy and Devil. 🥰
And in an instance we remember the lesson horse and all their names
Still rember with much love, my very first lesson horses, Harry and Lightening
I still remember the lesson horses I had the pleasure of knowing 50 years ago! 🤎🖤🤍
I remember Winston , my lesson horse. Xx
need the tissues! so true
This is so beautiful, and so true.
