Getting Here

AHT is located within the Real Clube de Campo Dom Carlos I, set among the dunes above Praia do Guincho. Enter the club grounds from the Areia roundabout and follow the dirt road, passing tennis courts on your right. The restaurant will be on your left — parking is available near the restaurant.

Once parked, walk down the road in front of the restaurant toward the sea. Our stable is on the right. Walk on to our covered arena. As you reach the dunes, turn left and follow the road. Our arena is the covered school — please note there are two riding rings in this area; ours is the one with a roof. You will walk down a small incline. At the AHT arena you will find our office, waiting room and restroom.
