Amazing emotive experience
It was awesome. The horses and riders put on an amazing show Emotive partnerships between all horses and riders showcasing the talents of the Spanish horses. Costumes were traditional and the lady doing the sides saddle dressage was beautiful. If you love horses it's a must . Also transport provided was very efficient. A thoroughly enjoyable experience .

Would highly recommend
Absolutely excellent! Beautiful horses. Amazing to see the intelligence of these beautiful creatures and the love and respect between horse and rider. Excellent , especially if you love horses. If you go a little early you can visit the stables before the show.

Excellently performed
Caught their coach to the venue which stops at plenty of places. The show was well performed and the stands for sitting on gave everyone a good view, although the end stalls give the best view.

Don't waste your money
Don't waste your money. Horse show was okay. Dinner was terrible Over 200 people crammed in a hall at long tables. Only one toilet. Food was terrible. You could yell the performers were tired of doing it.

Entertaining and enjoyable
This show was very enjoyable and varied. This is the best equestrian show we have seen in Spain. The program consisted of many different types of equestrian performances as well as dance performances with the horses. You could see that the performers really tried their best to entertain and that they train hard to provide the viewers a good show. Next the program continued as we went to have lovely Andalusian style dinner accompanied by an entertaining flamenco performance. Highly recommend this Andalusian night.

Bad experience
The horse show was nice. The following dinner was at a different place 15min coach ride away from the ranch (not mentioned at time of booking) at an extra charge for transport. The food was horrible, near uneatable. The transport did not go back to the actual venue either, so had to find a different way to go home.

Memorable horse show
We had a good time here as most of the family were horse lovers. We were awed to see these magnificent animal and riders perform memorable manouvers. There was also the oppertunity before the show started to go to the stables and be close up to these magnificent horses. Even if you are not a particular horsey person you will be amazed at the performance.

Great horse show
The highlight of the event was the horse show. The grace and control they had over the horses was a sight to see and truly incredible. Also they had a talented Flamenco dancer believe it or not interacted with the horses as well. After that was a meal not so great but edible and then the night kind of went a little downhill for me. Talented guitarist, singer not so great as were the 2 flamenco dancers. If I was to go back I would only watch the horse show before departing.

Enjoyable, choreographed horse flamenco show
A bit tricky to get to, but most taxis know where it it, and Uber works too, just let them know to drive a few feet over the destination site and there will be a sign to the entrance. They have a taxi number too posted for your return. If you get there early you can visit the stable, pet the horses and see all these magnificent, muscular animals. They are very friendly. The show is an hour and a half approx and very enjoyable with theatrical dancing with the horse and rider and a section where the horse appears to be dancing and responding with a flamenco dancer also out there in the stadium ring. Very enjoyable and would highly recommend a visit. You can do dinner there afterwards, but we did not.

A fantastic show
Whether you are a horse mad person or just looking for a different type of afternoon out this show suits all. It was delightful the Andalusian horses were beautifully kept absolutely stunning. The show produced gasps and cheers, a spectacular part of Spanish history kept alive. The relationship between horse and rider was effortless well worth the monies paid

Amazing horses and their riders
A short walk from La Colina train station, first you can meet many horses in a small courtyard in their stalls. Just before the show you can then meet the performing horses up close. Take your seat, it will fill up with coach parties. Be amazed at the brilliant relationship between horse and rider as you see a number of mini shows including the Flamenco dancing with Gaucho on horseback interacting with the lady. The athleticism of the horses is incredible and yes you see the horse in mid air The approach by foot is a little dusty but not an issue, refreshments are available also

Best flamenco show you’ll see.
An amazing experience to see this display. The Andalusian horses were elegant with each different display of Spanish riding. The main trainer was a true horseman and to watch him and the horses was like art. The performance was a good duration (not being too long where it would get boring).

Don't Miss this One!
I think this should be of interest ot many people, though perhaps more os to folks who are already fans of equitation and dressage. Great Andalusian horsemanship, followed by dinnr and the Flamenco show. I would regret it if I came to Malaga and somehow missed this afternoon/evening. We arrived early since they opened the stable ar 4:45 (16:45) for people to cme in and see the horses close up, then took our seats in the show fall adjacent. At 7:30 (19:30) the horse show was over, and we went 5 minutes away to the restaurant, where we had dinner, followed by the Flamenco show. It was over at 10:00 pm (22:00).

Seating very bad. Horses beautiful. Show nice but not incredible.

Feb 2020

I would give this show a 3 or 4 star rating but unfortunately the seating was atrocious. Picture a bunch of people crammed into little seats that would be uncomfortable chairs for kids in 3rd grade and you'll start to understand how bad the seating was. There are no aisles to speak of. Once you are in your seat you are locked in with no way to get out because everyone's knees are crammed into the person in front of them. I'm not kidding when I say that the seat width is made for children and not adults. This business obviously prioritized cramming as many people in over comfort and safety. We lucked out and got there early and had a aisle seat and a extra seat next to us but there were at least 5 people standing next to us that felt the same way about the seating. They stood on the stairs the entire show. BTW, We went during the off season. I can't even imagine how bad it would be in a sold out show.

That said the horses were beautiful. The show is nice, not spectacular but we didn't come in with high expectations for a show in a remote town. The riders obviously care about putting on a quality show. Definitely felt like a family run business.

Jun 2022 • Couples

Horse show was ok ... The meal afterwards was truly awful started off as a couple being placed on a small cramped table of strangers .big No No for me . The half bowl of soup was ok the pork was like leather and inedible the cheesecake was a baked cheesecake nothing spectacular as for flamenco in the dodgy village hall / social club we walked out and walked back to our hotel to eat decent food without the racket which was the best part of the evening ... I just feel sorry for my husband who spent a lot of money on a really rubbish evening of entertainment & food & venue for the cost it was bad value and really low end bargain basement , nothing had finesse whatsoever and for the money it could of definately been spent better elsewhere we fell into a "milk the tourist trap " honestly I think this trip may appeal to a certain type (easily pleased ) but for us we expect far better . I'd advise go to the horse show if you like horses & applauding a man taking his hat off is your thing . but avoid the dinner and flamenco ! I'm sure there are better shows in better venues and obviously there are better restaurants not that you can call a kitchen in a rough end social club a restaurant really .

Wonderful show, go if you can!

I attended this show on Wednesday 11th January, their first show back after the Christmas break. I absolutely loved every minute. The horses are beautiful, the riders are incredible and the flamenco dancer was superb. The way she and the horse engaged with each other as she danced was beautiful. The rider’s control and emotion was very powerful during this part of the show. I’m a horse owner and rider but I think anyone would enjoy this wonderful show.

Family outing, excellent performance

May 2022

My partner and I had an amazing time visiting this place. Excellent welcoming hosts who allowed us to visit the horses in the yard area both before and after the performance. The performance itself was amazing, an excellent display of horsemanship highly recommended for couples, families and even for those who aren't horse orientated.
There is ample parking on the yard. 100% would visit again

Beautiful Andalusian horse show

My partner and I came to see this lovely experience. I love horses and to see these beautiful animals showing off their graceful moves was a delight to see. They were wonderfully in time to the music. The amount of effort that goes into the training must be immense and the riders are so good with them, as well as spectacularly dressed. I almost welled up a few times, especially watching the lady in her floral attire. Was quite emotional.

The flamenco dancer with the horse was very good, and the timing of everything was impressive.

I loved the finale with the jumps, they were very cute ☺️

It was great meeting some of the horses after the show. They are well cared for and the ranch is very cool! My partner made friends with the resident dogs, who took a liking to him - they would have happily lapped up the affection all evening.

The only downside was the seating which made the experience slightly uncomfortable, but overall a brilliant show and I would certainly come back again - thank you!!

It’s okay….

Mar 2024 • Couples

Enjoyed meeting the horses beforehand. Nice to see the staff walking then around to show them off.

The show itself I’m afraid to say it was a bit boring. The horses are gorgeous and the staff were smiling and did what they had to do but the show itself is quite dull. Took a while to get going and really only the last section was good.

The arena is long and wide so you can’t really see everything all the time.

The narration at the beginning is repetitive and a bit odd.

Also, if you don’t have your own car, make sure you book a taxi for the way home. It’s a bit out the way.

Cruelty at its best

If you are an equestrian person or even an animal lover I would NOT recommend you go here. The horses are kept in the smallest ‘cages’ with only enough room to turn around. They were brutally handled by the main man who was constantly tugging at their bridle. The nose bands were tied so tight there was a horse in the stable with scars on its nose. It was heartbreaking. The bits used were severe as were the longest spurs I’ve ever seen. So so sad.

Dear visitor, The fact that you just upload two pictures and type anything you want doesn´t mean that you are right: - Horses are extra well feed and hydrated 24/7. - They train daily and get out to walk at least twice per day. - They have all means to have a longer life than average. - We have several healthy and safety & animal care inspections every year, all satisfied 100%. - Scars? the same we have all people that we work physically in our hands, maybe you know very few or nothing about it. You are underestimating the great effort they do daily to get the highest level possible to create the best show for thousens visitors. You must be ashamed of your attitude, we invite you to reconsider your feedback and learn about horse a bit more by the way. You not even care about the team of riders that are daily training too, not even care about how many families are working and feeding from this family busines... really awful and selfish feedback. Kindest regards and think twice. el Ranchito

What a beautiful show! We were able to see the horses before the performance. They are well treated. Afterwards, we headed to the restaurant for the meal and the Flamenco show. The couple gave us a masterful performance as did the singer and the guitarist. the meal was very good and HOT! We recommend it without any hesitation!
