Feria de Caballo 2018

CentAura

We are offering an exclusive spiritual horsmanship seminar combined with the spectacular cultural Feria del Caballo in Jerez de la Frontera, the horse capital of Spain. There is space for only six participants interested in learning the finer points of equine communication while working hands on with exquisite Lusitano and Cartujano horses in various stages of their training.

Participants will base at a lovely hotel in Vejer de la Frontera, rated as one of the five most beautiful villages in Spain, located in the heart of the Costa de la luz; perfectly situated between magnificent nature preserves, pristine beaches and cultural centers reaching all the way back through history to the ancient Romans and Phoenicians.This is the land of the horse and we want to show you the best of it.

The retreat consists of the first half of each day spent training with the horses under the supervision of Simin Nadjafi Hinrichs lunch in a typical Andalusian venta (restaurant) and cultural adventure trips in the afternoons. Beside the visits to the amazing feria del caballo, we will take you to historical places like Cadiz, the roman ruins of Bologna and of course to a tasting of the best sherry in an exclusive and traditional bodega in Jerez.
