Ronda, Andalusia · Since 2016
Guided rides for all experience222 levels – from beginner to advanced riders – in the hills of the Serranía de Ronda. Small groups, experienced guides, unforgettable landscapes.
Travelers' Choice 2025
El Prado de Paez is located in the Serranía de Ronda – one of Andalusia's most wild and beautiful natural landscapes, just 25 minutes from Ronda's old town. Since 2016 we have offered guided horse rides for beginners and experienced riders, equine therapy, riding lessons and accommodation.
Our aim: genuine encounters with horses in real nature. No tourist conveyor belts, no overcrowding – just space for what emerges when people and horses move through the landscape together.
Renaming note: The ranch was previously known as Caballos y Vino and was renamed to El Prado de Paez in 2026. This is why we still keep one offer with that name reference.
Sandra Jochim
Founder & Horse Guide
Sandra built El Prado de Paez from a deep connection to horses and the Serranía de Ronda. For over 20 years she has lived and worked with horses – her strength lies in a calm, attentive approach that immediately puts even inexperienced riders at ease. She leads all rides personally and speaks German, English and Spanish.
Lea Nada
Equine-Assisted Therapist
Lea works with children and young people who can discover new resources through encounters with horses. Her approach is not clinical but supportive: equine-assisted facilitation in a safe, nature-based setting. She works in German, English and Dutch.
Rides & Tours
Whether you have never sat on a horse or are a seasoned rider: we have the right tour for you. All rides take place in small groups and are led personally by Sandra.

Equine-Assisted Facilitation
Horses sense what we often cannot put into words. That is precisely what makes the encounter so powerful.
Lea Nada offers equine-assisted facilitation for children and young people. This is not clinical psychotherapy, but experience-based, animal-assisted support in the natural setting of the Serranía de Ronda.
No riding experience is needed. The focus is on meeting the horse on the ground – observing, touching, leading. What arises from this is individual and often surprisingly profound.
Children
Self-confidence, concentration, social interaction through working with the horse
Young People
Emotional regulation, stress reduction, identity development in a safe setting
How a Session Works
Important note: The equine-assisted facilitation at El Prado de Paez does not replace medical or clinical psychotherapy. It is an experience-based support offering and is suitable as complementary support or as an independent nature experience.
Our Horses
Our herd consists of well-trained, calm horses of various breeds – Andalusian Berbers, Lusitanos and crossbreeds. They live in a herd, have plenty of space to roam and are exercised daily. You can tell: they are balanced, curious and reliable.

Stay at the Horse Farm
Sleep right on the farm – 25 minutes from Ronda's old town, in the heart of the Serranía de Ronda. La Casita accommodates 2–4 people and is the perfect base for those who want more than a day trip.
Morning hours in the stables, then riding into the mountains, wine on the terrace in the evening – and the sound of horses in the background. This combination is rare in the Serranía de Ronda. Here it exists.
