A Week with Horses — The Experience Children Never Forget
Our equestrian holiday camps run during school Christmas, Easter and summer breaks at the Centro Hípico da Quinta da Marinha in Cascais. Children aged 5–16 spend the full day with horses, learning to ride, care for the animals and grow in confidence.
Each group is led by an experienced FEP instructor who adapts activities to the children's age and level. The camp combines riding lessons, horse care, games and outdoor activities.
