If your ideal Holiday is to be somewhere where you can completely relax for a week and let someone take care of you and all your activities; If the place is Andalucia, Spain, renowned for its warm sunny weather friendliness and beauty.

If you fancy staying in a unique 16th century Hacienda out in the country but at the same time very well communicated with the outstanding City of Seville and the oldest permanently inhabited city in Europe, Carmona. Put all of this together with the most important part for horse lovers: Lots of riding and permanent contact with beautiful, loving horses. If this is your dream, then EPONA is the place to come to for your unique holiday

At Epona you will find more than 60 horses and ponies, all well mannered, well schooled and fit for their purpose. With that number we really can cope with beginners, advanced riders and everything in between. It really is possible to match the temperament of the horse to rider and it is possible to change horses if the horse and rider are not getting along.

You will find we have different horses for trail riding, dressage and for jumping although of course, like humans, some are good at more than one thing. We have found that we need this many good horses to cope with the needs of 8-10 riders a week.

At Epona every instructor is fully qualified by the BHS and/or ABRS and the Spanish Equestrian Federation. All ride leaders and assistant ride leaders hold diplomas from British Equestrian Tourism and the Federation of International Equestrian Tourism (FITE). You will only be taught or led by bi-lingual staff (some multi-lingual). All ride leaders carry mobile phones to summon rapid help in the unlikely event that this is necessary.

Fernando and Jane Garcia own the Hacienda and will be running your holiday, with help from Caty and Vivi , their daughters, and the rest of the Epona team.

Fernando is a Spanish citizen born in Guatemala. He has lived in various countries such as Italy, Mexico (where he completed his University studies as an architect), Los Angeles (U.S.A.), Colombia and finally Spain. Jane was born in Scotland, and moved to Colombia where she worked as a schoolteacher and in the British consulate. There, Jane and Fernando met, married and had their two daughters. They both had a life long experience with horses as Fernando grew up riding in his farm in Guatemala and competed successfully in show jumping as a young man; And Jane started riding aged 10 in the local riding school where she worked in exchange for rides. They lived together in Colombia for 8 years where they taught riding and bred horses.

They moved to Spain in 1982 and after three years looking for the ideal spot, they finally bought the 400 hundred year old Hacienda "Los Nietos", which they renamed "EPONA".

They slowly began to renovate, buy horses, etc., while Caty and Vivi grew up immersed in the building of the business and became competitive riders winning prizes in pony competitions first and then in dressage and show jumping. Now they both work at Epona teaching and training horse
