If you are dreaming of a unique equestrian experience and a thoroughly authentic riding holiday...... Well, this is it! The locals of Santa Catarina will welcome you in traditional style! And this is just the start. The adventure starts in Coxilha Rica, a high plateau in the interior of the Southern state of Santa Catarina. Here at an altitude of about 1000m above sea level, in the heart of gaucho territory, you will be welcomed with open arms on an old fazenda (Brazilian for hacienda).
In the Cabalgata Gaucha of Santa Catarina you do not have to be a top rider at all, but you must of course be a rider. The ride is suitable for intermediate to experienced riders. You should be confident on a horse at all paces. The pace is varied to include walk, trot and canter. We have horses for all levels. Together with the guide you will choose according to your riding level, your height, weight, and preference the right horse in the stable.
The terrain consists predominantly of large lawn type fields, for both rider and horse a real dream terrain. There is daily sufficient time and space to enjoy a good trot and canter. The riding style is the relaxed Gaucho style, similar to western riding and trail riding.
