A place between the oaks.
Below the Castillo de Aulencia, inside the Parque Regional de Guadarrama — forty boxes, six hectares, and the forest carrying on past the fence line.
A place that refused
to be hurried.
El Jaral was not built so much as woken. Stone by stone, at its own pace — the walls kept, the years of waiting cleared away, the forest left to carry on past the fence line as it always has. The estate has known great days before. It is simply having them again.
Six hectares inside the Parque Regional, below the Castillo de Aulencia, on the banks of the Aulencia. Forty boxes, and horses that have lived well here for a long time. They still do.
Forty boxes, and the run of the estate.
Generous, well-ventilated stabling, and access to a complete equestrian estate — arenas, paddocks, walker, and trails. The facilities are kept in good order and ready to use. How you work your horse each day is yours.

A place to sit
while they ride..
In front of the arena, a lawn under the pines — the odd oak, acer, magnolia. Benches and stands for anyone who wants to watch the riders, or simply sit in the shade while the day goes by. No hurry, no reason needed.
OPEN GROUND · BENEATH THE PINES · ALWAYS
Slow ways
to spend a day.
The paddocks
Twenty of them, overlooking the forest and the pista. Turnout by rota.
The Arenas
Outdoor 145×65, a covered school 20×40, and an 18-metre lunge ring.
The horse walker
Six-horse walker, for the yard’s steady work.
The riding out
Forest trails from the back gate, across the river and all the way to Villanueva de la Cañada. Mostly it’s just the horses and the forest. And the occasional bicycle.
Nala
Every estate has someone who truly runs it. Here it is an Irish Setter who believes the trails are hers. She is, on the evidence, correct.
The Lawn
Beneath the pines, in front of the pista: benches and stands where you sit and watch the riders. Six hectares of shade, trails all around the finca, and the forest below following the Aulencia.
Below the castle.
Above the noise.
The horses set the hour.
A gate that opens by introduction.
El Jaral is a private estate. Boxes are let by arrangement, to a small number of owners. If it feels right, write to us.
