WHY RIDE WITH US
Our Horses: At the heart of every ride are our horses, and their well-being is our highest priority. Each one is carefully trained, lovingly handled, and given the space to simply be a horse. They live in a natural herd environment with plenty of room to roam, access to expansive grazing fields, and a balanced diet with additional feed tailored to their needs. We work with a dedicated team of veterinarians and equine specialists who ensure our horses stay healthy, comfortable, and happy year-round. When you ride with us, you can feel confident knowing you’re partnering with horses who are truly cared for—inside and out.
Unique Location: Our tours take you off-the-beaten-path in coastal Northern Portugal, providing the perfect setting for riders who want to escape the crowds and enjoy the peace of nature.
Expert Guides: Our experienced guides are passionate about both horses and the local environment. They will ensure you’re safe, comfortable, and well-guided throughout your ride, while sharing fascinating insights about the area.
Personalized Experiences: Whether you’re riding for the first time or you’re a seasoned equestrian, we provide adventures to all skill levels and can tailor the ride to suit your experience and preferences.
Horse Therapy
At Bonanza, we offer gentle horse therapy sessions designed to support emotional balance, relaxation, and personal growth.

No riding experience is required—just an open heart and the willingness to connect.
