Horsing around at El Jinete Stables.

ALMOST 100 students from the English International College in Marbella enjoyed a fun filled educational day out at El Jinete stables, near La Cala Golf.

The day included riding, grooming and feeding the horses, ponies and foals and the stable’s donkey. In the afternoon demonstrations were given by the equine Vet, Javier Pinaz Sanz and a local blacksmith.

“The children have gained an insight into the sport of horse riding and how to look after a horse,” said stable manager Charlotte Rowley. All the children went home with a certificate and a smile.
