Tavira Equestrian Centre is located at Quinta Nova da Capelinha, an area of Tavira that offers a serene environment, slightly away from the urban centre, yet still easily accessible. This location is ideal for outdoor activities, providing a calm and natural setting for equestrian pursuits.
Founded in 1999 by Vasco Fina Ajuda Júnior, Tavira Equestrian Centre was born from a deep passion for the rural environment and the art of horsemanship. This origin gives the space an atmosphere of authenticity and dedication, characteristics that remain present in its identity and the experiences it offers.
Tavira Equestrian Centre offers a variety of experiences related to the equestrian world. Those interested can participate in lessons that combine theoretical knowledge with practical work in the arena and guided rides through the countryside. For those without prior experience, the centre has horses with a docile temperament and properly trained, ensuring a smooth introduction to riding. Additionally, it is possible to discover the discipline of carriage driving, which consists of the art of driving a vehicle pulled by horses.
The centre welcomes enthusiasts of all ages, with activities designed for both adults and children, starting from three years old. This inclusive nature extends to offerings such as equestrian baptisms, a symbolic introduction to the world of horses, and hippotherapy, a therapeutic approach that uses the horse as a tool. The diversity of offerings allows different audiences to find a way to interact with these animals and their surrounding environment.
