Welcome to El Tambre, a place where passion for equestrianism meets a commitment to nurturing the next generation of riders. Founded in 1990 by the remarkable duo of Brigadier General (RA) Enrique Gallego Hernández and his son Jorge Enrique Gallego, our story is one of unwavering dedication, boundless love for horses, and a deep-rooted desire to share the art of horseback riding with the world.
Drawing from their extensive national and international equestrian experience, General Enrique Gallego Hernández and Jorge Enrique Gallego envisioned a sanctuary that would serve as a hub for equestrian enthusiasts, a place where riders of all ages and skill levels could come together to learn, grow, and excel. El Tambre was conceived as more than just a riding center—it was created as a haven, a space where the rich traditions of horsemanship could be preserved and passed down through generations.
Nestled amidst the serene landscapes near the charming town of La Calera, just a stone's throw away from the vibrant city of Bogotá, El Tambre finds its home in the breathtaking embrace of the Sopó valley. Surrounded by the majestic peaks of the Andes mountain range, our location is nothing short of awe-inspiring. The panoramic vistas, the crisp mountain air, and the palpable sense of tranquility create an idyllic setting that fosters a deep connection between riders, horses, and nature.
Spanning across 37 acres of meticulously maintained grounds, El Tambre boasts state-of-the-art facilities designed to cater to the needs of both riders and their equine partners. Our stables provide a comfortable and safe haven for our horses, while our four purpose-built training tracks offer ample space for honing skills, practicing routines, and perfecting techniques. For those seeking the thrill of jumping, our two expertly designed tracks provide an exhilarating experience that pushes boundaries and unlocks new levels of achievement. And for the adventurous souls, our Cross country track promises an adrenaline-pumping ride through varied terrains, challenging both horse and rider.
But El Tambre is more than just a physical space—it is a community. We believe in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment where riders can form lasting connections, share their experiences, and learn from one another. Our team of experienced trainers and instructors are passionate about imparting their knowledge, instilling a deep respect for the art of horsemanship, and nurturing the unique bond between rider and horse.
