Holidays at Rancho Acebuchal

Our Holidays are at Rancho Acebuchal, a Holistic Horse Centre, nestled in the hills of Entrerrios, Mijas, in beautiful Andalucia, just 10 minutes inland from the Costa del Sol and 30 minutes from Malaga Airport. It is a very special ranch where horses and humans come together in a peaceful, relaxed environment.
Have you ever dreamed of a relaxed holiday, reconnecting with yourself away from the hustle and bustle of life? Then come and visit us and experience the difference!

From the moment you arrive, you can feel the ambience of the ranch. There is peace and quiet and tranquil stunning surroundings. You have time to sit and watch the horses being horses, to walk around the extensive grounds, to watch some training, to be inspired. The ranch horses live as close as possible to how nature intended - as a herd, in a large space, barefoot and with a constant supply of good quality forage. The ranch is very lucky to have a supply of pure water directly from a spring in the mountain which gives the horses constant pure mountain water. This way of life ensures they are always fit and happy and ready to combine with our guests in whatever way is chosen. This can be horse riding but often it is not, as you embrace the tranquillity of the ranch, leaving your everyday stress behind, you begin the journey of understanding the joy of connection with horses.

At the start of your Horse Riding Experience be it for an hour, a day or a week's holiday we will match you with your perfect companion for the duration of the experience, enabling you to build that special relationship. This starts with collecting your partner from the field, grooming, tacking up and then if appropriate a short ride in the sand school or out in "the campo" area around the Ranch. Groups of no more than six people ensure safety and individual attention.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Ranch!
