Booked this for my 56th birthday and so glad I did. This was my first riding experience and I have to say was thoroughly enjoyable. The team look after you and after our safety brief and getting matched with a horse we set off. We followed various trails through the hills and stopped at the halfway point for a few snaps and a water break. Great views and a nice gentle pace made for a cracking morning. The team were excellent and you can tell the horses are very well cared for, alert and very well trained. I would recommend 100% that if you have thought about trying riding and are in Gran Canaria then give these guys a go. They cater for complete novices through to experienced riders.

The instructions were great! Me and my family haven’t had any experience with horses before and they made us feel comfortable and made sure we understood what to do. It was a great time!

Came to visit here after reading a lot of positive reviews. Unfortunately we were very let down. Despite a lot of people saying it’s great for beginners, we found the opposite. I have no experience horse riding whilst my partner has over 10 years experience and we both received the same level of instruction from Helen: barely anything. We were told enough to stop and go and pretty much nothing in regard to safety of ourselves or our horses. I was given Luther, a large horse that was so numb to any instruction it simply wouldn’t move with a hard kick. I was instructed to either boot the horse at full strength or use the crop they handed me - again I’ve never ridden a horse, never mind used a whip, and am pretty sure that shouldn’t be normal routine to tell a beginner. My partner was given a horse, Kabul, that they deemed suitable for an advanced rider. She was told he was capable of galloping but what she wasn’t told was that he was new to the yard, had an extremely high temperament and was known by the riders there to be a nightmare. We found all of this out from their resident driver later, not from any of the staff. Unfortunately this resulted in my gf being thrown during a gallop before which she was told ‘once the horse starts the gallop he will not stop no matter what you do’. This shouldn’t be the case for any horse used in a riding school for customers/tourists, no matter the level the experience. I understand that some horses get excited on trails, especially when they have a routine and recognise certain parts as their cue to trot/canter/gallop, but you should be able to stop the horse, or at least expect a horse which is trained well enough not to buck/bronc their rider off. The instructor Helen then asked my girlfriend if she pulled the reins when she started the gallop up the hill, which she did not as she was expecting some excitement and would never pull on the reins needlessly to upset the horse. However, pulling on the reins to slow down shouldn’t prompt such a reaction from the horse regardless. They can be unpredictable, but this one was clearly poorly trained. She had been told the horse will jump when it starts the gallop, but not that it would misbehave to such an extent that it would endanger her or that the particular horse she’s riding has a reputation for misbehaving. Again, the guides/horse riders at the farm gave little to no instruction or indication that this horse would endanger her. She’s dealt with unpredictable horses before, but had expected a riding school horse given for this trail, to gallop without incident and not to throw her off to this extent. Another advanced rider on the same trail had seen my girlfriend get thrown off quite dramatically and opted out of the gallop afterwards. It is clear that these horses are not properly trained or suited for the gallop part of the trail. Another disappointment was the trail itself. Yes, the views were pretty, however 2 hours of riding on steep, rocky unforgiving terrain on bored, overworked horses that could barely find their footing was not an ideal first taste of a riding experience and overall not worth €50-€60. I would not recommend El Salobre to anyone, beginner or otherwise, until they start to care more for the animals and focus on providing a fun and even a little informative experience instead of relying on the natural scenery to bring in customers.

Excellent communication to book an individual one to one and arrange pick from my hotel . Iwas asked how experienced a rider I was , and tailored to what I wanted from the ride. My instructor was very knowledgeable and passionate about the horses and riding. Beautiful scenery very relaxing also good information about the surrounding area . Very enjoyable will most definitely be back on my return next year . All the staff were friendly and made sure everyone had an enjoyable time . Thank you for a lovely ride El Salobre Vicki

My other half and daughter of 9 years booked to go. I’m currently 6 months pregnant so stayed at the ranch while my other half went of on his horse. My daughter on the other hand got a little spooked but NICOLE who works for the centre went above and beyond with my daughter to help her gain her confidence on the horse that was chosen for her. NICOLE took my daughter onto the riding school by her self so she could feel more confident on the horse that was matched with her. Honestly could not of asked for more. Horses are friendly and looked after, staff are friendly and very accommodating. & again a BIG THANK YOU TO NICOLE

Absolutely amazing trip, can’t suggest it enough. The horses were really well cared and my horse Kabul was just perfect for me. They assign you horses based on your level of experience, so I enjoyed having one with a bit more spark than just a lazy trail horse. The guides are awesome and will explain the basics to you so you don’t hurt the horse by accident if you’ve never ridden before. My only tiny thing was there was a lot of stopping and starting waiting for the slower folk to catch up, so splitting into two groups would be perfect, but I understand that’s not always an option. Would definitely go again when we return!

It was a fantastic ride, we enjoyed every minute of it! We trotted a little up the hill and some of us even galopped. At one point one of the horses was a little bit scared, but the guide was ready and she handled the situation quickly, effectively and professionally. Overall it was a perfect experience, we recommend it!

bethanyhR3075PJ

Really lovely team, the view from the mountains on horseback was wonderful. All of the horse were wonderfully behaved andy partner as a novice rider had a great time and felt really safe. My only downside was that there was very little trot or canter time. One small stretch on the road for a few moments, the rest of the tour was walking. But very relaxing and enjoyable nonetheless
