Loved this place!! Me and my boyfriend came here for an hour's ride and the lady that took us out was so lovely and professional! For people who have literally only ridden once we were welcomed with open arms and looked after really well. Thank you for a great ride and I look forward to coming back if we ever return to Portugal! X

Reviewed By Soo101

Having just completed ten riding lessons at Pinetrees Riding Centre I feel compelled to write and recommend. Bev, owner and instructor, was fantastic at adapting the pace of learning so that it was both manageable and fun. The horses are all lovely and so well cared for. All the equipment was provided and this was of an excellent quality. I had a fabulous time both riding in the arena and exploring the beautiful countryside. I can’t wait to return - thank you Bev and all of your team.

Country Riding Centre

Looking for a riding holiday?The riding school provides for all tastes, be it a gentle hack through the scenic hillsides with magnificent views across Silves to the Monchique Mountains, Portimão and beyond, or a gallop along the almost forgotten tracks through orange and lemon groves and eucalyptus forests, or even a swim on horseback in the lake.

Reviewed By RebPet - Great Malvern, United Kingdom

I first visited the Country Riding Centre about 7 years ago, so this was a must for our first time back in Silves since. I'm not a rider. I've sat on a tame horse a few times, but the lovely ladies here really put you at your ease. We went for a one hour beginners stroll. The scenery is beautiful. The stable yard is lovely. The horses are obviously well cared for and loved. Try to go early as it gets so hot. Also, long trousers and long sleeves are advisable. They provide boots and hats. Do it! You won't regret it. Even if you feel a bit nervous about being up on a horse.

For me it was the first time doing horse riding but for some of my friends they were already familiar with that but anyway, everybody enjoyed a lot! This is actually a great way to discover the inside part of Faial island, and definitly the best way if you like horses! :D We'll come back for sure! Thanks again! Kevin - AzoresOnBoard
