History

Small, welcoming and on the mountain.

Hípica Sol Solet was born in 1999 in Sant Just Desvern, on Camí de Can Biosca, at the foot of Collserola Park yet close to Barcelona. A small, welcoming yard where the horses live quietly and families feel at home.

We are a riding centre determined to bring this sport to everyone, leaving aside the elitist reputation that too often comes with it. We believe in dynamic, fun teaching and in the educational values riding brings: respect and responsibility towards animals, patience, self-control, confidence and self-esteem.

Today the team is made up of qualified instructors, a physiotherapist specialising in equine therapy and more than 50 horses and ponies. We teach from age 3, compete in show jumping, dressage, eventing and mounted games, welcome schools, families and companies, and look after the horses at livery as if they were our own.

Values

What defines us.

01

Fun

Learning should be fun. Dynamic lessons, small goals and plenty of smiles.

02

Respect

For the animals, above all. Caring for the pony is the first lesson, and the most important.

03

Responsibility

Tack up, ride, untack. Every pupil takes charge of their horse, at their level.

04

Closeness

No elitism, no rush. A family centre where everyone has their place, at their own pace.
