Riding and swimming with spirited Arab and Barb stallions

These are beach rides for horse lovers with a bit of riding experience. Wonderfully spirited monts, most of them stallions, will take you through olive groves and ancient villages to the white sand beaches of Flamingo Island. There you can wade through water and even swim with your horses who love a refreshing dip in the clear waters of the Mediterranean. A photoshoot for professional images of these unforgettable moments is also on the menu as well as horse-photography holidays for amateur or even pro-photographers.

Beach Riding

Happy horses for happy riders

One of the special things about Zitouna Stables is how much they care about their horses’ wellbeing. Most have been bought young and started under saddle at the Stables once fully developed both physically and mentally . Even if they are stallions, they are offered a social life with plenty of playtime in their paddocks. That makes them relaxed and friendly, searching for human contact. They are kept barefoot and ridden in well fitting english western, treeless or endurance saddles. Their training focuses on soft and relaxed responsiveness for the enjoyment of the riders who should be experienced and weigh under 85kg.

Stay at Zitouna

Two bungalows built in traditional Djerbian style make it possible to spend a vacation directly at the ranch. Both are equipped with a living room, kitchen, air conditioning and bathroom. There is also a small round pool and nice gardens. All accommodations have their own private terrace from which you can watch the stallions at play in their paddocks. An ideal vantage point for any horselover!
