Hi, me and my family are moving out to the Costa del Sol around Benemara, in July this year (08) my daughter is hoping to go to equestrian college but I cannot find anything around this area, does anyone know anywhere she could train for her equestrian qualifications around this area?

Hi welcome to the forum.
Sorry I cant answer your question. I dont even know what equestrian is!??!?

But thought i would welcome you anyway. Is your daughter at university level or college level? Where is Benemara on the Costa Del Sol?

Don't know where Benemara is but these are all Costa del Sol
Google is your friend!

None of those are actually schools though are they?

many thanks for your replies, Benemara is in Estepona just down from Marbella - near the new golden mile so they say

Also my daughter is college age so she is 16 and just sitting her GCSE's and she has ridden all her life so wishes to pursue this as a career. so what top tips have you got for us freshers moving to Spain? would be great to hear your do's and dont's

My advice would be to contact the RFHE and e-mail them, or e-mail the BHS, they helped us no end when were trying to find stuff out about Spain, and they have affiliates there.

super, thanks

Polo is the local sport down here. Perhaps talk to the polo clubs too, although she'll need to learn spanish chop-chop.

For riding gear, Decathlon is the place to go.

I agree Pugsy. She'll need to be pretty fluent to be accepted in college.
