Excursions
Explore the Countryside of Menorca from Horseback
Duration - 1 or 2 hours
You can discover a part of the island not normally seen by visitors, from our horse riding centre.
At Santa Rita we have 175 Hectares (about 450 acres) of fantastic horseriding country at the finca, winding tracks through the forest, paths across the hills with stupendous sea views, and flat fields ideal for galloping.
We vary the route and speed of the excursion according to the ability and choice of the riders, from a leisurely amble to enjoy the scenery for beginners and less energetic riders, to a gentle trot or canter for those with more experience. Confident riders can join us in an exhilarating gallop as we make a complete circuit of the finca.
Horse-drawn Cart Excursion
Duration - 1 hour.
Enjoy a trip through the woods and across the fields of Santa Rita in our traditional horse-drawn cart, accompanied if you wish by other family members or friends on horseback. Children can ride safely on their own horse attached behind the cart, so that the whole family can enjoy an excursion through the beautiful Menorcan countryside together.
Trip to the Beach
Duration - 2 or 3 hours
Ride your horse along one of the most scenic parts of the North Coast with unbelievable sea views all the way. We take the horses in a box to Binimela and ride from there across several beaches to Pregonda. This excursion is suitable for all levels, and we try to group beginners and more experienced riders together.
Ride along the Cami de Cavalls
Duration – whole day
Ride on horseback along part of the coastal path, the old ‘Horse Road’ which encircles the island, stopping for a delicious bar-b-q lunch en-route. This is a unique chance to explore the recently reinstated Cami de Cavalls, riding with us along one of the ancient byways of Menorca.
