I really can't say enough great things about Equitur! Lara was the guide for a private ride for my daughter and I. Rodrigo was there to help at the start and end as well. The farm was clean, well kept and their operation very much felt like a small business run by Lara and Rodrigo that are very passionate about horses. My daughter is a very experienced rider, but I am not very experienced and it has been 4-5 years since I've ridden at all. We normally ride English and have done riding tours around the US (Western riding, unfortunately) and in Iceland and Mexico and by far, this one was the best! The horses were in excellent shape, very well trained and good spirits. Much nicer than any previous tour we've taken. They were more like well behaved private horses. We wanted to do a landmark tour, but only a farm ride was available on short notice, however, it was perfect. We rode on roads, in town, gravel between farms, up and down hills and through the forest. Lara was very knowledgeable about the history and vegetation of the island and she knew exactly how to keep the perfect balance of nature and the fun of riding. We got to trot and even canter as well and it was the most fun I've ever had on a horse. I'm sure my daughter wished we could have been jumping, but she had a blast as well and didn't feel like I was holding us back. I would wholeheartedly give Equitur my highest recommendation for both beginner and experienced riders! It is the best!

Quinta da Terca

Reviewed By annaloni

If you want to see the island in a different way this is it. Horse back riding and enjoying the stunning views at the same time, it couldn't get any better! We took a 2h tour and our guide was Bruno. He was really kind and sweet and had a great knowledge about the plants, flowers, trees and places that we saw and visited on the tour. The horses are healthy and well taken care of and best of all, they have horses for all type of riders????

Quinta do Freio

Reviewed By 718ellenc - Sewickley, United States

Our ride included experienced and first time horse riders. It was amazing. The view from the rim of the volcanic crater allowed us to see both the Sete Cidades lakes on our right and the Atlantic Ocean on our right. The view was made better by the charm of the animals and the obvious care the owners took of their animals and their duties as hosts.
