The Barb-Arabian horse is an integral symbol of Moroccan chivalry and bravery, renowned for its athletic stamina, intelligence, and noble temperament. Situated thirty-five kilometers south of Marrakech at the foot of the High Atlas, Lake Lalla Takerkoust offers a magnificent equestrian terrain of calm turquoise waters, dry eucalyptus forests, and dramatic limestone foothills. Meeting our certified equestrian instructors at private stables, riders are matched with horses suited to their experience level, from calm trail companions to spirited mounts for advanced riders. The two-hour ride winds along panoramic lake shores, across rocky plateaus, and through traditional earthen hamlets. Beginners enjoy relaxed walking paces with individualized instruction, while experienced equestrians have opportunities for exhilarating trots and gallops across wide open tracks, followed by tea overlooking the water.
