Ece Golden Horse Club

Tucked away in Dosrius, within the protected woodlands of the Parc Natural del Montnegre i el Corredor, Ece Golden offers a refreshing alternative to typical tourist activities in the Maresme region. Just 40 minutes from Barcelona, this conscious breeding centre invites visitors to slow down, observe, and connect with horses in their natural state — living freely in herds, grazing, and moving at their own rhythm across open hills and forest.

What makes Ece Golden special is its philosophy: horse wellbeing comes first. Because the horses live socially and in open spaces rather than confined stables, they develop naturally and behave authentically.

Ece Golden was founded by Patrizia Bellone. From the very beginning, the intention was never to create a conventional equestrian centre, but a living space where horses can simply be horses and where people can meet them in a more authentic, conscious way. Over time, that vision grew organically, and Ece Golden became something larger: a place where horses, nature, personal growth, and community all come together.

A Family-Friendly Destination

Ece Golden has built a warm community of families, children, teenagers, horse lovers, and companies who share a desire to reconnect with animals, nature, and themselves. For families exploring Maresme with kids, this makes it a particularly worthwhile stop.

Kids Club is a weekly programme for children aged 5 to 11, running every Saturday from 10:45 to 13:30. Rather than jumping straight into riding, children start by learning to observe the herd, care for the horses, and understand how trust is built between horse and human.

Kids Riding Club builds on that foundation, offering riding sessions for children ready to experience moving with a horse directly. In a calm, natural setting, kids learn to feel the horse’s energy, find their balance, and deepen the bond they’ve already started forming — always respecting each horse’s pace and each child’s individual process.

Beyond the children’s programmes, Ece Golden also hosts conscious riding sessions, corporate workshops, creative retreats, sound baths, labyrinth walks, and seasonal community gatherings throughout the year — making it a versatile destination for visitors of all ages, not just families.

Why Visit

For anyone exploring the Maresme coastline and looking to venture slightly inland, Ece Golden offers something genuinely different: a chance to step away from the beach and into nature, with horses as gentle guides toward presence, patience, and authentic connection.

Horses have always held a special place in my heart. I began breeding them seven years ago, just before my mother, Ece, passed away. It was during that difficult time that horses came into my life and became my salvation.
