Dear All,
Does anyone know of a place to ride horses, or go see a horse show in Madrid or elsewhere in Spain. Last time I was in Spain as I rode by bus across the country side, I was dreaming of riding my horses through that beautiful country. If any one knows where good place for an experienced rider to enjoy please let me know. Also of any horse shows around, I would love to see one
Thanks,
Amanda

Hey Amanda Panda--
I think there are places to ride up near Segovia and Avila. The following two are in Avila (I've never been to either--I just found them by doing a search in Spanish):

And this one is in Segovia:

You can also check out a more comprehensive list (in Spanish, but you can get phone numbers and names from it!) at http://www.todocaballos.com/countries/es/tpl/nrs/sections/rutas/

Also, check out http://www.equiberia.com/ for some cool horse vacations (now that I have found that, I am putting it on my list of "things to do in Spain someday")!

Taravb,
thanks for the links those look like some awesome places, I love Segovia too.
I can't wait to get to Spain
Thanks so much
Amanda
